O/T Internet been down

Mikey, you were lucky. I had an ice storm here, when the power came back on, I was w/o: 2 Tv's, both direct tv boxes, stereo system, VCR, coffee pot, A/C unit, batt tender on bike in shop and a phone charging unit I can't replace, lol.

I don't know what the ins co will do, but do know it wasn't due to a 'power surge' as I talked to a utilities co. employee.............

Wid no commercial power I can't run all that stuff you have. I'm lucky to run couple of computers lights router fans phones cpap machine & a small fridge when i have 8 6v batterys in bank. I am down to 6 batterys 6 have given up the ghost this past yr. I will try to replace some this yr.
