Lking Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 @RobiBue I needed that. Power back ~ 13 hrs. My batteries lasted however the cell towers didn't so no power, internet, cel hotspot or heat. Could have used a stranger 😉 Lose of a few organized electrons and its back to the stone age burning wood to heat the cave. Cell tower did come back with the power. Yes it is my choice to live here.

Judy was a hart throb back in the day when I was young and ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobiBue Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Stay warm and cozy up there... lots of snow on the way ❄️☃️ Light a fire in the chimney, grab you a hot chocolate, and enjoy the winter 🎅 Hope you had a merry Christmas. Wishing you happy holidays and a good new year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lking Posted December 28, 2021 Author Share Posted December 28, 2021 Thanks @RobiBueReally not that cold. Temps in the low 20°s but a 10 m/h wind has blown all day with gust 25-30 m/h. Un-drifted snow is about 36" total. AND winter has just started. The best to you and your's in the year to come. Translation: 20°F - -7°C, 10 m/h - 16 km/h, 25-30 m/h - 40-48km/h, 36" - 91cm (Americans are so egocentric!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
