Day 6 at 14:00 still no juice.

A linemen's truck from Portland Maine was parked across our driveway exit. I had a quick visit with them. They were wrapping up final inspections and said they expected to throw the switch in about 10 minutes.

Day 6 at 14:12.......

WE GOT THE POWER......!!!!

Now to put away the cords and generator.

And.... catch up on a weeks laundry, dishes, and things.

Yesterday our grill jettisoned the coupling at the gas bottle. Luckily flow shut down immediately so no explosions. The screw collar coupling broke and popped. Went to HD this morning and got a replacement. Soon we are off to visit someone who has had power back for a couple days.

Thanks for all the support. It means a lot. Oppressive heat and humidity takes its toll on this good old boy!
