Thanks Paul, Allan, Mike Henk, Rick et. al. Short update, last night’s big storm was really noisy for a while, but it din’t lst long, it seems to only have dropped 0.2” of rain.
But, I woke up to the power being out, yet again. If you go to the PG&E outage map https://pgealerts.alerts.pge.com/outagecenter/ and plug in my address, 7522 HIGHWAY 9 FELTON CA 95018 it doesn’t look like I’ll be getting power again soon. We’ve got some more weather coming in this afternoon. This morning Zab told me that one of her friends lost all of the redwoods in her fairy ring, taking out the water main to the house. The good news is that only one of them hit the house, and only went through the roof in one place. If only one redwood hitting your house is good news, then you must live in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Mike, Yes the first one does seem to be duplicated, I’ll take care of that. Flickr hiccupped the upload and I guess it resent it. > On Jan 10, 2023, at 8:55 AM, Paul Sorenson <pentax1...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Larry - > > Glad to see/hear you're OK so far.
