Glad that cleared up in time!

 

Not been very cold the last few weeks. I had frozen pipes Christmas week, and a break where the water comes into the house on Christmas day.  The preacher over the road shut the water off at the street for me. He came back the next day and made repairs. Wouldn't even let me pay for the parts. Turns out the heat tape on the pipes was dead. The indicator light was on, but nothing else.

 

So I spent most of yesterday afternoon out there under the house putting on new tape. So far, so good!

It was raining so hard for a while there that I couldn't see much past the end of the driveway, let alone down the street.  The power did some funny dips all day - the UPS on the desktop computer kept kicking in to regulate things and not fry the computer.  

 

A friend in a subdivision nearby said lightning struck across the street.  Fire services were on the street checking it out in under 10 minutes.  Sounds like no homes were a direct hit but his alarm system and a light bulb ended up fried from the bolt.  Just scary, none the less.
