Around The Corner

While in the garage tonight, I recalled a time in my life starting in January of of this year.


I was sitting at the same computer that I'm at now, about to order a generator when about half way through the order, the electricity went "Total Blackout"!

Do you remember? The dreaded ice storm of 09.


After I shook off the shock of that memory, I began to compile a impromptu list in my head of things I need if it happens again. I believe I have most of the items to get us through another week or so of a terrible shortage of electricity and water.

My List:

1. A working generator


2. Water


3. Fuel


4. Cooler


5. Non-perishable food


6. Candles


7. Matches


8. Any Medication's


9. Cell phone charger W/ extra battery


10. Good extension cords


11. And of course, heat. Kerosene or propane.

I can remember talking to my neighbor, Kurt Beavers and we both made the same statement. NEXT YEAR I WILL BE PREPARED!

Guess what? It is next year and I'm not prepared like I should be. I believe I will put that on my wife's "Honey Do List". For me of course!
