Nah, I just tell them about how tough life was for a kid, back on the farm -

Hooray a long weekend of sitting around the house. I am sick and tired of holidays!

SNOW DAY!

My son in Austin is really screwed right now. No power and freezing temps. They are all huddled in one room trying to stay warm, and now the pipes are freezing.

As long as he doesn't draw the short straw when they run out of food.

They need to leave the water running a trickle.

I'd probably eat a person before I could bring myself to eat a dog

Damn they are not prepared for cold at all down in the lone star state are they? I have a kerosene heater in my garage as a worst case... Although I have natural gas heat so I can turn the stove on or put the furnace on a battery backup long before I need to go to a generator or kerosene.

Reminds me I need to get my Honda generator fixed, and get an emergency heat source. I have the only house in Idaho without a fireplace or stove.

Yep, that works ...... except when you are on a well and the power is out -

That happened to me in Connecticut. The power was out for 3 days, so, no water. The temp dropped to -18 degrees F (NOT windchill).

What did I do? A fireplace insert kept us sorta warm in the family room, kerosene heaters in the bathrooms and kitchen kept the pipes from freezing (left the under sink cabinet doors open).

They have a gas stovetop, so can still cook, but I don't know how well that would work for heat.

My Honda generator is only a 1000. I used it primarily for power years ago for my hunting trailer. It sure saved us in San Jose once. A giant pine tree came down in a storm and snapped the power pole in our backyard like a toothpick. We were out of power for 6 days while they put in a new pole. I could run one fridge, the tv, and the blower on our gas heat stove at once if I powered them up in the right order.

My son just text me. The problem with the water is the water company lost power. He says it is 9° right now. They are hanging out in his truck.
