Power is out

Running off the generator

My computer caught on fire when the generator surged. :-\ using an iPad.

Stinks in here.

Everything except the cable box was plugged in to a power strip with a protector.

Pretty sure the power supply in the puter fried. I'll see about getting one. Not too worried about the cable box.

The new house will have a surge protector in the panel.

Lot of good that does me now. :P

I've read that the power strips lose their protection over time, and no way to tell if they're any good.  This reminds me that all mine are pretty old...

I should be able to replace the power supply...fingers crossed.

I just cancelled the delivery of pine. It will end up sitting outside in the 2 inches of rain we're supposed to get, and it won't do it any good. [bang]
