Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 The few drops that came down was just enough to turn the dust on the windshield to mud. we are still so dry, soon we may have to buy bottled water to shower with. btw, for the camera guys, this was just an iPhone 11 Pro, snapping hundreds of shots to get lucky to catch lightning. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot, SASS #13748 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I went to bed at 8 pm last nigh. I get up every morning before 03:00 to go to work. At around 9 pm our power went out. I was dreaming I was driving a car and all the oxygen left the vehicle and I was struggling to breath. I woke up and realized I couldn't breath at the same time I felt someone hovering over me and it was pitch black. It startled the hell out of me until my wife said "Are you okay/. the power went out." I couldn't breath right because my BiPAP machine was off. The power came back on a couple of minutes later. It rained off an on all night apparently. I went to get gas this morning and half the pumps were off line and the clerk could only use the older cash register because the high tech wonder machines were off line. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider a small battery UPS for your rig. Not only will it avoid unpleasant wakeups, but will help avoid hardware failures from power failures or brownouts. I have a 15 year old REMstar that has been subjected to countless power outages in my 3rd world power section of Sacramento. Something got smoked on the main board, as it is forever stuck in max blower speed, i.e. 20 cm pressure. I stripped it down and found no dirt, no clogged tubes and nothing obviously smoked on the board. I was hoping for a popped capacitor that I could replace... no such luck. These things are EXPENSIVE, especially for me as a cash-only customer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
