I HATE drunks that drive!
Well, with most of my frustration vented in the announcment, I suppose the least I can do is be grateful that dad is letting me use the RV generator to keep things alive here. This will also prove to be an interesting learing experience when it comes time to buy a house and move the server again (way in the future.) There is something to be said for a backup generator.
So, again on the bright side..... The SVX Network is being sposored today by: Dad (you know, the guy who always seems to help you out when you need it) and Onan Generators: Dependable power systems (at least as long as they have gas) American Power Conversions (APC): 600VA UPS Best Power Technologies: Fortress 1.4KVA UPS

Drunks and generators
Chris,
Once again, a big thanks for all you do to keep the network together, and drunks don't help! When I was in the 6th grade, a friend of mine was killed right before my eyes by a drunk driver. Naturally, I have a rather set opinion of people who drive under the influence. At least it sounds like you have a heck of a backup system for those bitter winter days when the power might go out! Don

Chris,
Interesting tidbit: if you use the search new posts function (which many of us do), your announcement doesn't show up in the search. So for those of you reading the above with no clue what Chris is referring to, here it is: http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/anno...p?s=&forumid=2 I have no tolerance for drunk drivers either. My philosophy is, if you want to go kill yourself, go ahead, just don't take others down with you. VK |

What a number!
Well, the initial accident happened at roughly 1:30am. The power outage then was a short 20 minutes. The UPS's did hteir job flawless and the problems were invisible to you guys. Then, the power company had to take off the main lines at 6am to start the pole replace and repair. They said it would be about 3 hours. Well, now they are saying 12 or 1pm. Good grief! Im spent. I am going to just turn my overhead lights on, and plug in a portable stereo with the volume up s when the power DOES come back on, I will know when I can transfer the poerations back to outside line power. Until then, Gnight. I need a NAP bad. Gonna get grumpy.

Re: Re: Drunks and generators
Are you SURE you want us Wackos to be reference??
Let's see... Aredub and his zebra striped undies along with his tater... Larry with 3 eyes... Mr. Pockets and his potty mouth... Eddycat and his robe... Don and his puns... Ron Mummert and his, uh, "insights", yeah, that's it, yeah... And all of us with a rather strange obsession... VK P.S. Speaking of Aredub, I've noticed that the postings are WAY down over the past few days. Have we finally chased him off? Quote:

Hey Chris
Thanks for the info and updates and sleepless night due to some idiot. You are great!! As for the drunk, I hope it hurts too. I have seen too many drunks on the streets as of late and I am finding a way to get rid of them. CPD has better things to do then chase dunks it seems Lwin

UPDATE!
Well, the power has been out since 6am and it is now 4:50pm and guess what?! Yup. Still no power. I am downright amazed that the generator has lasted this long. Two weeks ago it was winterized along with the the rest of the RV and I am not sure now much fuel is left. I called Idaho Power and there is NO estimate on the power return time except "somtime tonight." Lets just keep our fingers crossed and hope it gets fixed before we run out of gas! I dont know about you guys, but this is getting a bit redicuous.

Aredub?
I just left him a message on his answering machine that we were wondering about him.
Maybe he's on a business trip somewhere and he's laptopless... Don

YEA!
Power is restored. Looks a bit "dirty" though. Monitor is flickering a bit. Odd. Anyways, The crisis appears to be done for the moment.

Poster Boy for Drunken Driving
Last week here in Ft.Wayne, an off duty cop, crossed over the center line, and ran head-on to a car in oncoming traffic.
Initial reports stated he died due to head trauma from the wreck. Further investigation showed otherwise. After the wreck the cop got out, walked over the other car and said, "Are you OK?" the walked back to his car. He did this 3 times. Upon returning to his car, after the third trip, he shot himself in the head.. His blood-alchohol level was 3 times the legal limit @ 0.26 |
