tri again
07-28-2011, 05:07 AM
Got home after a triple full day.
Traffic lights are off, whole county is dead powerwise.
spooky.
Now what, more work to do blablabla.
50* at night so started a lil' fire in the woodstove.
Don't really need it but I have water tanks around the stove so I'll
have 300 gallons of HOT water by morning.
How? well pump's out too. A few air pressurized tanks (say 4x 80 gal) outside in the sun all
day are feeding the house. so good pressure good volume.
Little tv runs for a couple hrs and get air channel 9-1 digital 24hr news and weather. plus 11 others with a rusty rotten old style roof antenna from the 60's.
Battery died a bit ago so I ran a wire to a 12 volt trike on the front porch and
now have tv again. There's actually 3 trikes on the porch so they'll be happy to run
my tv all night if necessary.
Oh email, very important. no power no internet.
hmm..plugged land line into laptop and reset it all for dial up.
and here I is! once again, bothering all you kind folks in trike land.
Might have to look into some sort of generic usb external battery for this thing, if they even exist.
heat, water, hot water, net, tv, radio and food.
I better eat some icecream since it's on it's way to milkshake land
right about now.
This kind of stupid stuff is only supposed to happen in the winter.
I had no idea I was this prepared, but then again, I can almost hide my own easter eggs.
Got a bunch of 8$ battery powered motion sensor lights all around inside too so
I can walk all around the house and these little light come on everywhere I go.
Hope everyone is doin' good.
