Back in the first of 2012 my late roommate was sitting on the living
room couch during a severe thunderstorm when a 6" diameter limb punched
through the roof and ceiling 6' from him and Sandy The Barking Rat. The
roof and ceilings in the house weren't repaired for quite a while but
they are now. It makes a lot of difference with the ceilings back in.
I've been watching a movie or TV when a limb landed on the roof, it
sounds like a big truck crashing into the house and really rattles the
whole place. ^_^

I'm in east Texas. We had a thunderstorm Christmas morning and rain most
of the day. Then came a surprise. It snowed. Some people said it's been
100 years since we had snow on Christmas here.

BTW, we also had about 6 unexplained power outages. They were short and
there were no problems when the power was out. It was when it came back
on and I had to deal with all the electronic equipment with amnesia
(mostly they forget to be on). At least the central heat doesn't have
that problem.

We're a couple of hours (weather) behind you. It didn't start until
about midnight last night and it just ended. The temperature is
dropping like a rock. It's 50F!

Got that right. I came down sick Friday, just after leaving work and
my knee started acting up Christmas eve about 9:00PM. Didn't get much
sleep last night but I made it into work today. The long weekend
sucked.

A few weeks ago, my roommate did some work on the phone system at a
pediatricians office and guess what he brought home? I'm still getting
over the crud. It was a week before I was able to run any service calls
and it darn near killed me. I got home from a short call and felt like
a group of gang bangers gave me a tuneup with baseball bats. O_o

TDD

The last couple times I've been sick, it's also been
account of sick kids. Totally no fun, at all.

Sorry to hear that people take sick kids any where.
Ought to keep them home.

Imagine the nerve of people taking their sick kids to a pediatrician, talk
about a lot of nerve. What next, car accident victims to an emergency room?

Reminds me of Florida. Rains so hard the frogs can drown. Rain drops
the size of 50 cents pieces make you think the windshield will break.
You can't see past the car hood.

We had a nice day out west. The dead cow piece I cooked on the smoker
turned out "perfect", according to the bride. I prefer it a bit more
bleeding.

Where was Sandy in the storm, your lap?

Yeah, bleeding people should stay home, too.

The little critter was under a blanket on the couch. We have to be
careful around here before sitting down because a towel or jacket
could be concealing a barking rat. Sandy often barks at thunder. ^_^

My thumb is bigger than her whole snout and those tiny teeth are like
needles. The only time I might get bitten is when I hand her a chicken
bone and that's only because she's so excited to get one. I don't think
of Sandy as a real dog, I once owned a Weimaraner that I raised from a
pup, he was a real dog. ^_^

I do have a couple of UPS units for the more important stuff. Even
though these failures were less than an hour each, UPS battery change
was too low to be very useful, considering the previous outages.

Also, I get tired of replacing UPS batteries every year or so.
