Excellent. PF#17 is on my calendar!
Hello all,
Gonna Join My buddy Kid9P for this years event. :thumbsup:
Hi, Scott. How are you and your kids and wife doing? New Jersey, New York, Connecticut...we all got socked, and I know NJ got hit pretty badly. One of my friends isn't due to have power back until Saturday morning.
Hey Milky I'm in the cold with you, though my neighbors aren't, the county line is 300' away and the lights are on over there. But we are supposed to be back on Wednesday. I still haven't seen any action on the mess, guess the crews just swoop in overnight and take care of it. Ho
pe that your back in action soon.
Sitting around thinking by Milky Candle these past few nights I figured wiring up the house with LEDs for emergency lighting would be a good move, actually I though about it after Irene but that was only 26 hours. So I promptly forgot about it.
Maybe I should buy some deep discharge car batteries to power a string of XM-Ls mounted on the ceiling around the house, though I'd probably need to use a heavy gauge wire for near 100' loop, I'd need to figure a mains powered charger to keep it topped off and turn on in case of power loss. Sounds like I'll need a driver like the Ch
ippo or Hyperboost.
Maybe check in with mac or radio? I forget who else lives in MA.After looking into it, the only way I can go is if I hitch a ride with one of you guys "otherwise my bold tires say NO:scowl:!" Anyone near MA?, I can drive out and meet you at your place if you don't mind giving me a ride, of course gas money compensation will be given:thumbsup:.

Hope everyone gets power back soon! They are still trying to restore power to people around here. I was fortunate and our power only flickered at times. Fortunate in the sense we're not without heat, hot water, etc, but I didn't get to use my flashlights.
I still have no car batteries to power the tank light, and with no power at home yet, I'm not terribly focused on finding any. No batteries, no tank light. Any chance anyone might have one (or two) sitting around? They don't need to be in super great shape... if they hold a charge but cannot start a car, they could still work with the tank light.
