I saw where WSDOT put out an advisory warning people not to drive over downed power poles. They didn't advise against crashing into the ones still standing on the roadside. If they had, I'm sure that would have prevented your outage.
The two 100Ah Lithium Ion batteries their harness and the power outlets. On off switch and Fuse panel The batteries are locked down to the floor.
Talk about 1st world problems. I hope this guy survives.
That WAS sad, really sad!
You've got enough energy for you, AND me! We have a small lot with quite a few mature trees behind us. Knowing I'd have to work tonight, I slept til 1pm, and didn't even look in the back yard. Most of the mature trees in back (east of us) are fir trees. They sit right on the crest of the hill and not one of them has it's original top in it. They've seen much worse than we had last night. Like October 1962.
Your Christmas gift from Comcast! Did you ask if you will see a reduction in your bill since you will be a week without the service you pay for? I would ask that my bill be pro rated for the week without service and see what kind of response you getAt least our power came back on about 8:00 an hour later the damn internet dies probably from the same accident so later this morning when I check Comcast is saying yes we have a problem we expect to fix it by December 24th now there's some customer service
It looks like you've put a ton of thought into that Jeep. It looks like a cj3a from the pics you've posted and everything is clean! You have a lot of power there with two batteries! I'm only running one house battery (yellow top) that is connected in parallel when the key is on through a big solenoid. I've also got a hundred amp solar panel on top of the jeep to keep it peaked. All my lighting is led so the battery's biggest job is to run the fridge. My jeep is currently setup to sleep three people and two small dogs with all our gear. It gets pretty cramped with three of us but it's wonderful for two. I've had as many as four before adding the fridge. One thing is for certain, everything has its place and you've got to be organized!! I'd love to have another Willy's and I've been looking lately but my wife commented that I need a shop to put all my jeeps in if I'm going to get another!
Its hard to nail down exactly what model my Willys is unless you just go by what the Title says. The Chassis is from a 56-57 CJ-5 (and has been that way since before Dad bought the jeep in 1962) The Tub is except for the Cowl Firewall Toeboards and part of the Tunnel all scratch built from Panels from Classic Enterprises and flat 16ga. The engine is from a 58-59 DJ-3A (134L very much Hot Rodded) The outward appearance is as you say of a 3A it has a 3A windshield and no Top bow pockets There is actually parts from 28 different Jeeps in it from 1946 to 1972 And more scratch built parts then you could possibly imagine. I built it with the idea of being able to drive 3/4 the way across the country if I wanted to. Amazing how much fun driving 80HP all over can be.
Believe me Wife is
I feel for you there. By the time I got the heaters out of the basement, ran cords all over the house, got both gensets going, got it all hooked up and running, I felt like I had worked hard all damn day.
That's sounds a lot like my cj7. It's got so
Get yourself a Starlink dish and use the WiFi calling on your cell phones. Works out great that way for us, and we have more speed and bandwidth than we know what to do with.
Well, that timeline is better than that forecast for re-opening Hwy 2. Gov. Ferguson says "months."
Which always reminds me of how life used to be before we all had electric power. Some parts of the country didn't have it until the 1930's or later. Life was harder, we did more things by hand or candle or lamp light. We spent more time keeping warm. Which explains why a lot of people back in those days didn't have "hobbies," which were mostly for rich people. They spent too much time just living to have any to spare for hobbies.
After seeing the video of the damage I'm actually surprised that they think they can fix it in just 2 months
When I was a kid I used to enjoy the occasional outages. Like camping at home. Get the old Colman lanterns and cook stoves out. Candles around the house. Now? I want COMFORT, pretending like I am homeless is no longer fun
Before I started using my phone to power the music in the car I had been known to turn around half way to work to go back for that phone I forgot. I did laugh at myself a few times thinking something that was a recent addition to life was now this important.
