The ONLY Tyme in my life I've ever wished for MORE Kandilz on the Cake!!
More Fire = More HEAT!
It's sure been a "memorable" Birfday ... with an Early Start ...

'Bout 2:00 pm TUESDAY afternoon ...
*Ka-BOINK* >>> *beep* - *Beep* - *BEEP* went the 'puters UPS ...
*Kee-RASH** >>> and away went Pet Talk into a BLACK screen ...
MY...did it get QUIET ... nary an Electron was flowing http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/eek.gif

Call Unka Pat & Miz Joan ~ HEY - youze guys got 'Lektrik??
"NO - all dark up here!"
OH,GOODIE - means it's Ohio Edison's problem - NOT mine!

Called the OE Trouble Line ... the dang ROBOT answered http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/mad.gif
I played the game and "talked" to the Robot ... "he" asked if I wanted a HOOMIN? YOU darn Bet'cha!

The Hoomin answered WAAAAY too quick ... "yes'sir - you're The First Caller!"
NOT a good sign ... it'll take another dozen calls before the believe they MIGHT have a problem.
"Promised Repair Time" - TWO Hours ... Reddie Killer-Watt can't put his hard hat on
and get a truck started THAT fast ... I asked if that (2 hours) was a "Promise".
"Well, NO, but we'll try to have you *UP* ASAP."

"ASAP" has stretched into 30 (THIRTY) HOURS - with two brief "interruptions" of
blinking power at 10 pm last night (for about an hour) and again this morning for 1.5 hours).

Fix #1: Reddie Killer-Watt JUNIOR, the Trouble Truck, was on the street by 3:00 pm ...
couldn't "find" anything so he replaced the blown fuse ...
*FIREWORKS* two poles away showed him where "the problem" was!
BUTT ... "Trouble Truck" means LITTLE Truck ("ONLY" worth $150,000!) with a short boom -
no can reach the problem pole ... He called for a "CREW" (MORE Guys, LOT more $$ Expensive Trucks)!

"The CREW" (FOUR Guys, piloting $ 1/4 MILLION Dollar "Rides" - a BIG Bucket truck and
a new Pole Digger/Setter truck - the We Fix Anything Guys) showed up about 9:00 pm ...
and were highly distressed to realize that their BIG Boom was NOT gonna reach THAT far off the road
to the the pole that needed first aid. http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/frown.gif
I pulled up just as "The Kid" - an obviously green lineman (BRAND NEW climbing gear -
and looked like he just came out of high school) was getting "dressed" in rain suit, lineman's belt,
and pole climbing spikes on his boots ... "The Kid" wasn't smiling --- the three Old Pharts
were all >grinning< from ear-to-ear as the helped suit him up!
I thankfully noted the older, experienced lineman also greared up and climbed right benind "The Kid".

Within an hour WE HAD LIGHTS! http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/smile.gif
Lasted an HOUR - **Ka-BOINK** and the 'puter died again.

It was DARK - Really Dark - and *nippie* in the house by now ... ALL Night.
My Non-Electric heating pad (SmokeMutt) did a good job under multiple blankies,
Cinder had the Foot-Warmer position.

By the time the second problem on our road (frozen tree fell on a high voltage line
again - back in the woods) got corrected, there were MAJOR transmission line failures -
half the County stayed dark till 6:00 pm tonight.

Little did I know - the "stop up for dinner" invite was for MY birfday partee ...
A few of the "Old Fire Gang" were in on it ... I still hadn't caught on ...
We "adjourned" into the Big City to a nice restaurant with lights & HEAT ...
and returned to the Wilderness to find lights and HEAT at HOME, too!

*Interesting and Memorable* it was ...
but I'll pass on a repeat!

So THAT's whay I haven't 'said' anything till now ...
We don't have a Dawg-Powered generator ... http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/tongue.gif

THANKS for ALL the Kind Words and Good Wishes!!!!

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Happy birthday to one of the good guys!!

[Rachel]

Yikes those Ohio ice storms created havoc the birthday boy. Nothing worse than being cold on your birthday. Trust me, I know Old Cold is worse than Young Cold. Memorable Birthday is right. One of those be careful what you wish for things I guess.

So Phreddy, have a Happy and Warm Day After Your Birthday.
Gee, I hope that wish doesn't set his house on fire.

[zippy-kat]

Happy Burstday, Phred!! :D

[Medusa]

Happy Natal Return, Phred! Make it the best one ever! :)

[4 Dog Mother]

Looks like I am late - but Happy Birthday, Old Friend! Hope your electric is staying on now and you find yourself warmer ( but older) today! Glad you had the "crew" to help keep you warm.

[AdoreMyDogs]

Phred your stories are the best! I'm sorry you ran out of power, but I'm LOVING your story! You're the BEST storyteller :)

[Angus's Dad]

Happy Birthday!!!!!!

[gini]

Now I remember my Papa saying "we are moving to California" and we aren't ever going back to Ohio.

I had forgotten why he said that - thanks for the refresher Phred.

[trayi52]

Happy Birthday, Phred!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you have a wonderful day!!!!!!!!!!!

Willie :)

[Barbara]

I'm very late.

Happy Birthday Phred !!!!!

I wish you all the best, health and happiness for you and the prayer pups :)
And while I am at wishing why shouldn't I wish you that a cat steps into your life again on its velvet paws :)
