    That bugs me or when you go a website like the Drudge report, you click on a story and hit a pay wall, pisses me off.

    That would suck. Best investment I ever made are the two double fans that use heat to run. Power out I still have heat and they are so much quieter than the blowers.

    I have three generators in case of power outages. Power out here always has gone off if a frog so much as pees, lots of timber around so wind and ice always causes problems.

    I see it all the time. I'll often say something to them about it, but it probably goes in one ear and out the other. You can't fix stupid!

    yeah, I had disabled that on foxnews.com and a couple others; recent "update" apparently took that option away. Nothing like clicking on a news story and getting the audio blasted everywhere.

    Power back on.
    Sure can make a person feel insignificant while out.
    Can survive for a bit but it's the costly frozen/ burst waterlines that scare me most.

    I've got them in a small barn. Spent 45 minutes last night chipping ice and frozen manure/hay away from the slab so I could get the dang door closed. Snow was blowing right into the barn. Will give them a straw and hay bale later today.

    Isn't it fun? When it gets cold the horse pee freezes in the wood shavings and you have to scrape it up with a shovel. So glad we are down to just the 2 horses.
