Conditions could last through Tuesday evening. We are working to reduce the number of customers affected. Weather could also affect shutoff timing, and wind-related outages may occur. We will notify you again if we shut off your power.<\/div>\n<p>That&#8217;s just what we need with Colleen coming in tomorrow morning! I will power up the generator. I have decided to charge the power company for the cost of gasoline on the days they shut off the power! The 10KW generator uses about 0.5 gallons an hour under 70% load, so I plan to deduct that from my bill!<\/p>\n<p>I did some research and I can put in a 24 KW generator for about $8k and one more power outage I will do just that!!<\/p>\n<p>At noon, we went to Mary&#8217;s doctor, and after that, we came home via Trader Joe&#8217;s, where we restocked our wine and got two bags of other necessities.<\/p>\n<p>Mary fixed an outstanding small dinner&#8230;stuffed peppers and a fresh salad from the garden!<\/p>\n<p>I heard some noise in the kitchen and went to investigate. Turns out Santa has been at it again! I found him trying to make cookies but mistook the flour for snow and ended up building a mini winter wonderland! I think it\u2019s the first time I&#8217;ve seen a reindeer in a snowball fight with the cookie dough!\u00a0 There was Santa watching over all the activity sipping my Gin!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_84965\" style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-84965\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-84965\" src=\"http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2024\/12\/2024-12-09-003-650x867.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"867\" srcset=\"http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2024\/12\/2024-12-09-003-650x867.jpg 650w, http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2024\/12\/2024-12-09-003-113x150.jpg 113w, http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2024\/12\/2024-12-09-003-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2024\/12\/2024-12-09-003.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-84965\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">He got into my Gin!!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We crashed around 10:30 pm, literally and figuratively leaving us in the dark!
