The power went out the day it was suppossed to get watered. DAMN!Transformer blew at Woodland Park/Jerome Prairie, Fri. 8:53am. Outage affected about 4,000 customers, but Courier stated they brought in a Mobil substation and power was restored bt 11:40pm that night.
Our watering system in the garden is battery operated, just for that reason.
Yup I know. When I posted this morning I was on the road. I found out that the power was on shortly after I submitted that post. My garden got watered today with a little help from friends and family.
I toured four states in four days, but just the border areas; Thirteen hundred miles later I'm tired. See you all in the am. I'll post photos.
