Power, Garage Doors and the Internet!

We had wind storm on Thursday night that left us without power for most of Friday. I had to laugh at the way my Dad responds to such things now. His first concern was all about how to get into his car and drive. I tried, to no avail, to get him to wait til the electricity came back on. Nope. He wanted coffee and a hot meal - and for the first ever in my life I learned he really didn't like the Friendly Tavern! Really??? As I think about this now, I think he was just didn't like feeling trapped - even if it was Empire! So, I trudged out to the garage, released the door and (thank god!) was able to lift that door (it a single, two car garage door!).

Bless his heart he wanted to eat at Monies in Honor - but I had to tell him it closed last year. So, he decided to try the Hungry Tummy in Beulah. No flies on him! Notice he never asked me to come along.....

So, he gets home and then I have to close the door. Wow! I did it. 6:05 pm the lights come back on and now I, somehow, need to get that darn door back on line - cuz Dad is planning on going to the Library Saturday morning. So, out I trudge. About 10 minutes later after looking at the opener from every different direction - I figure out how to get the chain to catch. Whew, I need nap.


Finally, I sit down to write and my wireless is blinking - and not a good blinking. After two days without home internet, I went to City Mac and they told me what to do to get it working again. Love my Mac and love City Mac in TC!
