Fueled up and primed? Oil good?

This is why we have a small propane camp stove in case all else fails. Good luck & here is to the rest of your day going a bit smoother.

growing up in MA I saw a few roof collapses. Almost all on garages or screened porches.

If it's a pretty small section you're worried about, and you feel like you can get at it safely, I'd go for it.

Most likely carburetor needs to be cleaned or gas is bad. Using fuel stabilizer and or ethanol free gas (if available) helps.

How you sound rn

I'm sorry I don't think I was clear. Is there a Korean neighborhood or something in that area in Bangor that inspired that section of your map?

Easy, Maine's the way life should be

Man, as a long time RPG player, I wanna join that table. :D

Won’t even pretend to turn over when I try to start manually. Last time I used it was last spring and it worked fine but something has gone wrong with it.

Great job, CMP:

In what way is your generator broken?

Love aquatic edibles wherever I can get 'em. Bladder wrack is delicious.

Thank you! Her street is listed there, so hopefully if it's out they get it back. And obviously everyone else affected. It's too cold to be without heat. I did see khs had opened it's doors as a heating center last night, so that's good.

Thanks again!

Ugh that’s the worst! I’m having an extra cup just for you

If you really have have 25" already I'd consider doing it, especially if the pitch is flat.

This is an underappreciated point.

As much as everyone wants to vilify CMP, I'm sure if they rolled up in spring and said they were going to remove every tree on their property tall enough to fall on a line, all these people would lose their shit.

Anyone who owns overland power lines is going to have the same endless maintenance issues. We COULD bury everything, but then everyone would be complaining about rate hikes, or tax hikes if it's a subsidized project.

Long story short, the free ride of America's post-war boom is over; our marker has been called in and everything is going to be harder and cost more forever now.

Yup.

There are some outages in town as of last night but they are super-quick at getting service back.

Looks like the only outages in town are due to a CMP feed issue, so KLP is all done and waiting for CMP to get their shit together.

That storm right before Christmas, mine was out for 24 hours. When the power came back on, CMP's site still said "assessing". So don't give up hope!

"Assessing" as in "we have worse site update times than any online store in existence".

When I was growing up, there was a house next door to my grandparents with a completely flat roof. The people who lived there didn’t stay for the winter. I sometimes wonder if they ever came back to unexpected disasters. That house was torn down in favor of one with normal sloped roofing, so I have to assume something prompted that decision.

Is that klp? My mom hasn't answered me yet, wanna know if she's got power lol

That's cool!!

He gets let into school at 8am and they release at 2:45
