[450] Power is out

Wed Nov 2 09:39:38 EDT 2011

At this point...there is no point.  I am running around enough.  Dealing 
with gas for a generator, figuring out how to connect it...I just cannot 
face it.

  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.

Sorry Dave, pain to deal with....

We have no power back projections for Newtown.  Yesterday they were not 
even putting us on the online list to update.  When I called them after 
I saw that....the woman groaned when she heard me say Newtown.  She said 
honestly, it was not even a projection yet.  That Newtown was slammed so 
severely that they couldn't even wrap their minds around it.

So, that is where we are....we are so screwed.  I am so sick of being 
cold.  Our house is maintaining at about 50 ish degrees, but the throw 
away has begun.  Yay.

The boom is slightly bent but probably unbendable. The elements at the
ends both came off at the boom ubolts but the trap sections were not
damaged, so assuming I can get replacements for those it should be
salvageable. The two drivens are also bent at the risers but can
probably be bent back. All in all it isn't catastrophic but always a
pain to order aluminum tubing.

Sorry Dave.  No hope of resurrection?  Don't forget I still have an old

(minus "some" parts)...

All my antenna stuff held up, but I have no services.....
See you guys in a week or two.....
