that little camera still takes great pictures.

I just logged in to my CL&P account and was greeted with:

    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
          one
          (minus "some" parts)...

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