NWI INGO General Post Part 19 - LegOs, Glocks and iPhones!

[Snapdragon]

OK, Von Tobel no longer carries the bases. But I did find an all-in-one mailbox, post, and base at the Gus Bock Ace in Winfield. It's a heavy sumbitch, but I think I can get a couple of neighbors to help me get it out of the car.

Von Tobel's sells a concrete mailbox base. It weighs about 40 pounds and if it is knocked over all you have to do is lean it back up again

We use one of those for the mailbox at our plant. It works well. Nice thing about it is you can locate it anywhere it fits and not have to worry about setting a post in the correct spot.

Got power back about 30 minutes ago.

Hope everyone else is doing OK.

Damn it.
I was going to glue my mirror back on my windshield when I woke up.
And I just now remembered.
Too late.
Got to go to work in a bit, and I wanted time for the glue to set better.

I've had 7 outages in the last week. Longest from Monday 630 pm until about 6 pm today (Tuesday).

Nipsco actually pulled some new wires here in our sub-division, Woods Park off Cleveland.

Ouch!

Dang. I thought I got a lot of power interruptions

It had been really good here until this last week. I believe part of the problem was the sub-contractor who was supposed to trim the trees. One in my neighbor's yard was marked to be trimmed and was never touched.

My generator works and started first pull.

I believe I am just a few blocks north of you.

They are heavy. But they are pretty sturdy and will last a long time

It is portable, but it has some heft to it. Local plow trucks knock it over. All it takes is a little muscle and it is ready to receive mail again

There is a reason I had an electric start generator for 17 years (with pull start back up) and there is a reason I switched to a full auto unit several years ago.

Lots of reasons we have a NG generator that will run everything: septic pump, sump pump, well pump, barn lights, AC/heat, freezers, etc.

Well, I live a couple blocks from 30, and lose power more than when I used to live out in the boonies by Actaeon. By sound, I'd say probably 1/3 of the neighborhood has backup generators.

I'm thinking about one of those.

But I also want to leave the mill.

So....
