Power, Rain, and T-Storms :)

It has been fairly fun the last week.. as no surprise we have had rainy day after rainy day. Some rain was expected but for four weeks straight is a little excessive. But we only had to make some semi-moderate adjustments. We are not strangers to this.

We had a thunder storm come through the area a couple of times, but what amazes me is the comments from people out here camping that tells me "Oh, we are under trees so we are safe"... huh?! Then why do people that stand under trees that get hit with lighting die? Am I just missing something here?.... City folk need more education before attempting to camp, the saying may say ignorance is bliss but this is deadly!

Power, we now have power, enough to power a house and the noise level to go with it. Will have to look for a smaller generator that is quieter, there has to be one.

Ok, that is the short of my rant. Ya'll have fun :)

Power Struggle

This week has been all about a power struggle. The short of it all is this: My husband was gifted with a generator. We do need one since tents are largely relegated to sites without power & water. It is nearly impossible to function without power due to:

Billy has to sleep with a c-pap machine.

The dog and I are stuck at the campsite because I still don't have a driver's license. This makes it impossible to do anything Internet without power.

Sooo anyway the challenge is that the gift-generator is large enough to run a small home --5200 watts. It is loud enough to be heard all over the campground. It is a monster and Billy is in love with it.

Compromise: He gets to run it only between the tume he gets home from work and bed time. So far this has been 2 hrs and about enough battery charging to get his c-pap through the night.

More conversations, considerations, and compromises are in our future.

Oh and if any of our friends have power issues this winter, remember ... Billy has power!
