So sorry for getting behind...we had no power, and therefore, no Internet.

635,000 people lost power here in Detroit.  I was one of the those...
 
But FINALLY it's back on...I WILL catchup...LOL
 
Thanx!

Larry

I always imaged you were in the middle of the mid west... didn't realize you were on the northern frontier.
 
I hope the power stays stable.
 
all the best,
mike

Hope the best for ya Larry. I know what it's like to be without power. It ain't nice!!

Thanks guys...

I'm in Redford, Michigan, which is the first suburb west of Detroit.
I moved back here from Fort Wayne, IN. to take care of my mom.
 
There are trees down all over the place...I had to pull two HUGE tree limbs that were completely across 
the road off the road to clear it for traffic.  It was a mess here...it's finally getting back to normal.
 
 

Power outages are the worst. I don't know what to do when it happens. The TV doesn't work, there's no internet, and once the UPS battery drains no DAW. All I have left is a laptop that only has day-job work stuff on it, and an Android tablet that can't do squat without a wifi connection.
 
Thank goodness for my MP3 player with its impressive 11 hours of battery time. At least I can sit in the dark and listen to music.
 

I got one of these in my prepper stash:

That's what I did...I have all my manuals and Computer Music Magazines on my Android Tablet....
and my music...so those kept me somewhat occupied...and I took a lot of walks...so maybe the
power should go out more often???  I'd certainly get more done...
 
NAH... 

That's the third world for you.
