[450] Power is out

[David McKenzie]

We cleaned out the fridge yesterday. I havent tried plugging the fridge
into the 2000 watt peak generator that UPS delivered last night but it ran
two PCs, the router/switches/cable modem and furnace with out much trouble.
Kim is home today because school is canceled still, got her set up with the
TV now that cable is back on. Drove around the neighborhood today and didnt
see a single line crew, still lots of poles and wires down everywhere. My
parents and brother in Waterbury both got power back yesterday (town plot
and east mountain), but like i said havent seen a single line crew in
overlook. Plenty of AT&T crews out there though.....

Home depot in Fairfield has pallets of generators (5000 watt, 6250 peak,
$599) if you need one.
