It's been a while since I've posted. October and November are busy months for me at work.
Those of you who don't live in the Mid West undoubtedly heard about the wind storms (and tornadoes for some) this past Sunday. We had no damage around our house. We did, however lose power at around 1:00 AM Monday morning. It was restored about 10:30 last night.
We're very thankful that we bought that generator late last summer. I'm especially thankful that we spent the extra for the direct hookup into our electric box. It made powering our home with the generator a simple task.
That generator sure did burn through the gasoline! It used a bit more than a gallon per hour. That's an expensive way to power a house.
But, as I said, the other effects of the wind storm were extremely minimal, and that wasn't true for so many others.
Fortunately, we had already planned to "winterize" our animals Sunday afternoon. We moved all of the chickens inside the barn, and we moved the two duck coops to their permanent winter locations, next to the barn and out of the wind. We couldn't have timed that move better.
Our electricity has been restored

Glad the power outage was the worst of it.
