I posted this somewhere else but we are now on forced Overtime for the next 2 weeks we all HAVE to work at least 10 hours a day for the next 14 days at least. We can work up to 12 and I will be here 1/2 my life. I WANT all the 12’s I can get. They said yesterday we have 30,000 customers out of service and they expect it to be 50,000 within a week.
The Sun Emperor is as good as mine!!!MMMUUUHHHAAHHH!! 👿 😈January 8, 2008 at 7:30 pm #653059Sounds like you guys had a rough time (and they say Florida is bad). I have a friend that lives in Cameron Springs which is just outside Sacramento and every time it gets to cold for her there she hops on an airplane and comes to visit me I am surprised she hasn’t arrived although she was just here for two weeks in Dec.
January 8, 2008 at 7:32 pm #653060the last storm front that headed thru here was VERY nasty, but it brought lots of OT and some of that will be used to get some Windstones so I can’t argue at all!!
January 8, 2008 at 7:35 pm #653061wow! very cool dm!
January 8, 2008 at 8:10 pm #653062I can’t wait to get my next 2 checks and get my Windstones out of hawk so to speak!!
January 8, 2008 at 9:06 pm #653063Congrats on the OT, DM.
I’m tired of rain and clouds and just, yick. It’s been raining and sleeting for the past week now. But at least we’re not getting hammered by the wind you guys are having.
Sending good thoughts to all and their furbabies.
January 8, 2008 at 9:10 pm #653064I LOVE stormy times. Especially sitting in front of a fire just listening to it. I can’t do that right now with 12 in the office and 3 commute. I just barely have enough time to sleep. If I can’t sleep I can’t dream about Windstones
January 8, 2008 at 9:12 pm #653065same. it does not rain enough here.

your poor chickens! wow.
three sides of our fence we had newely put of a few years ago, and we made it so it could with stand hurricane force winds. Our neighbor on the other hand, they had thier fence coming apart and mom and sasha went out there to help them. We gave them wood all way for their fire.you do know, that if the leevee breaks up neer sacramento, most of sacramento would end up flooding????
at least at rio vista, we are on a bit if hill up from the river. all Sac. is lower then the river.Oh, yeah, I know about the danger if the levee blows! >.< We're on a bit of a hill here but that doesn't mean we wouldn't be in deep kimchee. I guess the only good thing I can say about the terrain around Sac is that at least there's a LOT of flat to distribute the water across. But considering that this entire section of valley is nothing more than a gigantic drainage route for all of that water and melt coming down out of the mountains . . . and considering the age and crumbling condition of our levee system . . . yeah, it'd be one heck of a mess if the wrong levee goes out. Back in the '90s in Davis, the news had a reporter standing out by one of the local levees, showing us the water shooting out of the ground squirrel holes in the levee. They had a terrible time stopping that levee from failing. And now it's ten years later, the levees are that much older, and moronic developers have continued to build housing tracts right behind even more levees! Bloody insane. 👿 It's like San Diego County, where they were building housing RIGHT BELOW dams, in the freakin’ flood plain! One good earthquake and . . . catch the wave!
Well built on your fence! 🙂 And that was sure nice of you guys to go out in that gale to help your neighbors. I bet they were glad to have you folks next door! Especially lending them firewood. I worried that we’d lose power–don’t know why we didn’t, frankly–and be left with no heat. I didn’t have any firewood laid by. 😳 I got rid of all my Millenium Disaster stores when we moved! 😆
January 8, 2008 at 11:54 pm #653067you are so funny. but yeah. this area is a disaster waiting to happen.
not that i would not mind a good flood.
January 9, 2008 at 1:20 am #653068can you say New Orleans?? I knew you could!!!
