January 8, 2011 - Preparation of a different kind.
After a long day at work, on my feet for 12 hours straight, I saw a picture of the forecasted snowfall for our area. I decided that, rather than take a night to prepare for my triathlon two years from now, I'd take a night to prepare to be without power for a week. So, I cooked my chicken, made spaghetti, prepared my firewood, and got out my down comforter. I can walk to work, I've got cold weather clothes and gear, and I've got my camping gear including gas stove. I think I'm ready. :)
They're predicting 4"-6". There are large limbs hanging over every power line running near or to our house. I can almost guarantee that we'll be without power for at least a day, maybe two. I'm counting on a week. And if we don't... at least I'm ready for anything.
Semper Paratus!
:-D
