So...the heat is back on....well, it was with the generator as well, but..now it's the power grid. We did the Library and the Grocery- though the Library was always open....we could have gone sooner. The bridge to the next Town over is closed- water coming up over the road. Some Towns are under water today.
Like not having power or heat in December isn't BAD ENOUGH- now your house fills up with cold water....
Power came back on after dark last night--also after we filled the generator with extra gas. Sigh.
No way to empty it. I suggested working a reverse suction thing- my dad would know what I mean. to move the gas from the generator back into the gas can... Son just looked at me like I had lost more of my marbles...HE feels like I am losing more marbles every day.
Library was fun today- I didn't find many books but still have quite a few I haven't read yet.....on the shelf. I saw Carol- a co-worker when I was first hired at the Library ...and also Steve who was the Library Director when I was hired. Lovely people. Both of them. Happy to see them.
I bought dried sweet apricots, pistachios, and shortbread cookies. For myself. Holiday Snacks.
All, that all..Santa isn't stopping at our house...so no one is buying anything......though Son could use a reflective vest for night time walks. I could NOT find the one I wore when walking Riley at 11 pm each night. We did find Riley's vest...sigh.
Siphon the gas out and put it in a gas can. Put VP Racing Fuel in the generator. If you can’t use it all at once, it will keep for a year or two. We put VIPin the lawn mowers to over winter and they start right up in the spring. When we are done with the snowblower we run the gas out of it and refill with VIP. We buy the VIP at the outdoor equipment store.
