Another thunderstorm season started with a bang, and no power.... no warning, first strike of lightning and the electrics out twice, tripped whatever the switch is that is marked "test monthly" both times. Not everything came back up, however.

Now waiting on some electronics to be replaced under warranty. Luckily this week is rest week between the end of one term (last week) and the start of the next one (this Monday).

The generator (sine wave compatible) is almost ready. Should be operational tomorrow, ready for 6 days of thunderstorms. Got the oil and the fuel, but no way of getting the oil to the hole to fill it. That's tomorrow's task.

And I need to buy yet another surge protector... also tomorrow. Before long, I'll have the entire house running off surge protectors.
