First the sump pump, then the mower, and then a power outage!?!?!?!?!??!?! [View all]

Yup. That's been my day. Somehow, between all of these problems I did manage to get some work done. The generator started right up, buying me some breathing room until the power came back on. Which it just did.

It's going to be an early night for me, that's for sure.
