Really sucks to take PTO to sit here with no power.

The initial rolling blackout was announced to be 15-45 min each round....but that literally became hours at a time within 24hrs Texans were warned. Now we are told to conserve water (don't do long hot shower, dishes, laundry) and natural gas....wtf like we going back to stone age...
On the flip side, I got to demonstrate to the wife driving on snow vs dry, then snow vs ice, in the family sedan. She's never driven on snow or ice before. The family car still has RE11's on (didn't switch to all-season this winter) the most mundane driving became the utmost difficult task.
Now the wifey knows.
