So it has been down right frigid here... No joke. Like 0 or below in the morning and then a high of 10 if that during the day. And it just figures that we would loose power on the coldest of days. 3:00 am - lights start to flicker, followed by this horrible buzzing sound and then dim lights and low voltage. A brown out. Basically the same thing because we have to kill the power to the house so everything doesn't get fried.
Well since we'd been talking about buying a generator since this summer when we lost power, I decided we had to this time or drive to Mary's and pick up there to borrow. Thanks to Sam's Club who came through. Normal open time is 10:00 am... well I called at 7:00 am when they have these special hours and asked if there was anyway we could come buy a generator as we had been without power all night. And a wonderful nice lady asked the manager who said it was okay. They even had the generator I requested waiting for Ryan to pick up.
A couple hours later... generator hooked up... a couple hours after that... power back on. But oh well - we now have one for next time.
