    #1 CAUSE OF BLACKOUTS

    24 years ago we bought a house in a PUD, Planned unit development. It was built with underground cables. During Sandy we lost power for 3 1/2 days. While the development was all underground utilities, It was fed by way of an above ground source.

    Need portable high output spot light.

    Those Acebeam lights will definitely REACH OUT and touch somebody. I guess it depends upon if you need that distance, otherwise it may be too narrow a beam to be particularly useful at shorter distances. I really don't know.

    Need portable high output spot light.

    What lights do you already have so that we know what is insufficient. How far do you want to reach? I like double or triple LED lights for lighting larger areas. Here are three, left to right. Sunwayman D40C, Thrunite TN30, Defiant 3C 1200 lumen $10 at the home depot.

    How's The Weather There ?

    We're on a slab, with pretty porous ground. But I did need to clear the drain spout of Maple tree seeds; the gutter couldn't drain fast enough and the water was spilling over onto my patio. If the water got another inch deeper, some could have gotten in the sliding door. So, no sump pumps, but...

    What was your prep for today?

    One of my "being prepared" preps worked out for me today. I am currently drinking a cup of coffee made with 2 bottles of water. I have five cases on standby. Yesterday, the township started flushing the fire hydrants, leaving the water lines with some brownish silt. According to my daughter...

    raggie has been spewing his nonsense for so many years it is impossible to decern what is true. I hope that he really does need meds, and that he takes them. If he doesn't need meds, it would be truly pathetic, that he would find it humorous to make fun of those who do. I also hope that Star...

    Do you keep your batteries in your multiple cell Li-Ion lights?

    I only have a couple of lights in this category. I have a TN11S that came with a tube extension that would allow more than one battery. I never used the extension, and I store a single 18650 in it. I have a TN30 that takes 3 18650's. I store it fully loaded. I do however load it with protected...

    Living the good life :)

    I need to get one of those apps. Since I recovered from covid, I still have not completely regained my sense of smell. I still can smell food, my waistline proves it.

    Living the good life :)

    Last night for dinner, I picked up a pound of deli sliced roast beef, a can of beef gravy, and a package of potato rolls. My daughter picked up a side order or sweet potato fries, and Deep fried onion rings at a small chain grill. Sometimes living the good life means a quick and easy dinner...

    Hey @knucklegary I'd like to entertain you, but it would be too little of me. So I'll just shut up. You know... "Life's like a box of chocolates... you never know what your gonna get!" And you can't fix a box of chocolates. Pappy

    I get bored too. Honestly, I try to not read your threads, but after there are 6 or 8 responses, I wonder what I am missing out on, and I read them. It's probably because the forum is so slow, that you get so many responses to your "meant to be stupid" threads. I still wonder if ALL of your...
