Your forecast reads more like ours in NH. Hope you’re doing ok and the plants survive the cold.

Finally! Power back on, phone back on. It’s been a long week but we made it! If my pump will thaw out we will be good. Hard to keep things from freezing at 0 degrees when the heat lamp has no power

Thanks PG. We were more prepared than most. I went and bought extra propane and packed a lot of wood so were warmer than a lot of people.

0°F Monday night. 73°F today. Jed actually got a slight sunburn in his trampoline 
73 degres in 6 days that may be a record for here.

There’s an old song called Don’t Worry About the Mule (just load the wagon) this is one of my mom’s favorite sayings. I think it applies here.
There is just no way I am going to be able to commit to a program right now, so the Kroc plan will have to wait. I just need to have fun with lifting right now to burn off the crazy.
I have trees down, fence to be fixed, garden to plant, etc… If I have time to lift great, if not I am not going to beat myself up over it. I mentioned last fall about a big deal I had in the works and though it is taking longer than expected I believe it is going to happen. Cross your fingers.
All that being said. I did get the water back on, found a fitting at the grocery store yesterday to get my washer up and running, cut up the broken tree that fell on the dog run. So… Imma working on it.
I put a plant update in the vegetable garden thread.
75-80% survival rate. Which I am happy with.
@oldergoat you may have strawberries after all. Looks like they weathered the storm pretty well.

The fruit is but the plants themselves are pretty tough.

Thanks OG!
My chest knows I did them today anyway…lol Nothing awful but it’s been a while.
We are not fully recovered but well on the way. Still have lots to clean up but power and water are functioning so that makes it easier. A small community to the southwest of us still have no power. The storm broke over 2,000 power poles
