The Silicon Graybeard

In the World of the High Tech Redneck, the Graybeard is the old guy who earned his gray by making all the mistakes, and tries to keep the young 'uns from repeating them. Silicon Graybeard is my term for an old hardware engineer; a circuit designer. The focus of this blog is on doing things, from radio to home machine shops and making all kinds of things, along with comments from a retired radio engineer, that run from tech, science or space news to economics; from firearms to world events.

Power is Back, Cable and Internet Shortly Later

Power came back tonight at 6:30, just about 47 hours after it went out Sunday. Cable and internet were also out but came back by about 7:30.

Stories will resume tomorrow, but the short summary is that we had more troubles with Irma than Matthew last year. All of us are fine, if a little worn out. Nothing that a good night's sleep can't fix.

We were out from Sunday about 5 PM until Monday at 10 AM. Lots easier sleeping with A/C. Everything else OK.

Welcome back to the (somewhat) civilized world!

@SiG: Was there an issue with your genset? Was the FD complaining about exhaust gas, or was it leaking natural gas?

@Terry: Good to hear you got through it OK!
