Still no power at my house in Bridgewater. 4 schools are closed today in town due to no power. What happened to prioritizing restoration? Probably just as well because most people with kids have abandoned their homes for hotels or relatives. My street is just us and one other family with a generator going. All the other houses are pitch black.

[Maxamillion]

Still no power in Branchburg, either. Just the wood stove for heat and the BBQ grill for cooking. My neighbor brought home a generator and I ran a looong extension cord to it to keep the fridge going. Of course my highest priority was getting the stero running, but the wife had other ideas....

but the wife had other ideas....

They always do.

Hmmmm.
So how does the HiFi sound with a home generator produced electricity?
I see a possible business opportunity here. Buy a generator from The Home Depot. Cryo this, gold plate that. Replace the outlets with some Furutech or Oyaide ones and sell to audiophiles for 3 times the price

Got this message last nite from head of Bridgewater Schools system:  The best I can offer is that JCP&L has stated that they will not be in the area until Thursday. We are pushing hard for them to be here sooner.

Needless to see we are still out at our house. Starting to enjoy that buzz I'm getting refilling the generator 3 times a day. Now I know what Frank Booth was talking about.

[Maxamillion]

Well, the neighbor's generator died last night so back to nothin'.

A friend in Randolph, NJ just e-mailed, they got power back.   They've been hauling water from the basement out for several days now.  They couldn't find a generator in their desperation over the last few days.....  Randolph is near Morristown I guess.  So, I can guess it's getting better.  Just hang in there, guys!

Mike,

How is the power situation?

Mike,

Seriously Mike, Rave or not, I hope you've got power back!

[mfsoa]

No power yet.  Down 5 days w/ Irene and now 5 w/ this one.

On top of that, I found out last week that basically our entire dept in the US is being liquidated (I mean moving to India and China)

I guess I'm lucky in that I have until Mar-2013 before I am led out the door. Some folks got only 6 months but hey that's better than many get.

So it's find a new job time, What Fun!!

As far as the Rave goes, I just can't commit to this Sat w/out power, sorry. Maybe if we get pwr tonite I can can convince Sharen to still do it Sat but the house is not ready after living by flashlight for a week.
