Don't need no stinkin' power! We can light and heat the Milky lab with our flashlights!

Hey Milky,

Sorry to hear what you guys are going through.
I can't even begin to imagine...sheesh!

My brother in Connecticut just got his power restored
yesterday, hope they get you up an running sooner than later.

Wouldn't want to miss PF17, but would understand if you
postponed it.

Dang, I have to work on Saturday, so I will not be able to attend.

Scott, I hope your power gets restored and you can return to normal soon.

See you next time.

—any updates from Mr. Milky himself...?

Well spoken
I'm sure Scott's boys would think this is the coolest post ever

According to this, still a lot of people in Califon, NJ without power. https://www.firstenergycorp.com/outages/outages.do?state_code=NJ

They posted this in their latest update "JCP&L is currently experiencing power outages due to the snow storm that moved through our service territory. We anticipate that most of the customers still affected by storm-related outages will have power restored by 11:59 PM tonight, with restoration for some individual cases in the hardest-hit areas continuing into the weekend. Time Posted: Nov 4, 2011 11:08 AM"

WE NEED TO RESCHEDULE PF17

We won't be able to do PF17 tomorrow... even if the power ends up okay, it's a mess around here and I'll have my hands full with getting things back to normal. PLEASE contact the people you know to make sure they get word about the change in plans.

That said, I'll miss PhotonFest just like you guys... so it's not canceled, it's being RESCHEDULED. I'd like to reschedule for another Saturday in November, or even December if you guys want. Could everyone please tell me which days would be particularly good or bad for you?

Could even be rescheduled for this Sunday if you guys want.

Again, please post what works for you, I'll pick the most promising date(s), check with Mrs. Milky, and voila! We'll have a new date. Please post ASAP.

Any of the next three Saturdays are good with me:

November 12th, 19th or 26th - are all good with me. December 10th is also good for me.

December 3rd and 17th are NOT good for me.

 

[Data]

December 3rd would be a good date for me.

I hope you get power back soon!

 

[sledhead]

Sorry to hear of all the power outages! Hang in there Scott - If you get a generator for the next outage, get a Honda, they are worth it!
On another note, Dec 3rd or 10th would work for me. :thumbsup:

 

[nein166]

Well I don't think Sunday would be good for most people because we all like to stay late then have go to work Monday, But I'm on Vacation
But maybe next Saturday. Turkey Saturday is out. I can do any other Saturday
I wondered how the roads are around you, theres still trees on the shoulder and half in the road by me.

Hi, Scott. I am glad you are putting your family and yourself first. It would have been super crazy cramming PF17 in with all of the things that are involved in getting the house together, if power came back on.

I can't do Thanksgiving weekend, but the others seem alright.

One way to spread the message fast might be to alter the thread title to something like

"PF17! Flashaholic Get Together: NJ, NY, PA, CT Area + Postponed!"

TB is welcome here. Send me some email when you read this.


Cheers

December 3rd would work for me. Scott, please let me know if you need any extra surefire 123A batteries.

 

[KartRacer31]

Scott (Milky) - Check your email - I have two (indoor safe) space heaters which run on propane, and a bunch of other stuff to keep you warm and comfy, that you are welcome to use if your power is still out. Check your email for more details and let me know --Tim

 

[Kid9P]

Hope you get power back soon Milky.

I can't take anymore Saturdays off for the remainder of the year (Used Thanksgiving holiday to be off today).
So I guess I'll catch you guys at PF18.

Hope life gets back to normal soon at the Clawson home.
