No I don't mean a Business, I am talking about shutting down all things electrical last nite for this mornings scheduled power outage from 5 am to 9 am. Captain Kirk (Me) told Scotty to power down the electrical shields last nite at bed time. The sounds of air cleaner fans, Wood stove fans, TV, Satellite receiver, and Computer, sounded like a Planes Jet engine, powering down to a stop.
The sound of silence began to overtake the House. All was Hushed as I went to bed leaving a couple of lights on to know when power came back on. Scary night in that silence dogs cuddled up to me, watching in the Dark for the Boogie Man to Scare the crap out of us. Woke up early, turned the already turned on Lites, off and on again......(Before Coffee I am a Complete Idiot)
Finally the 400 watt lamp I aimed directly at me overnight, came on and it was time to power up the enterprise again. slowly lights around the house began blinking as I turned everything on. The Familiar Squeak and Rattle of Fans, the restarting of all things computer. "reset the Clock Scotty, and set her to Warp speed" well the Clock got set, but I don't do warp speed, the old man shuffling two step would be closer.
Then with the house sounds back up to it's regular 90 decibels, (Hey, I just found Spellcheck, that would have helped a lot on last nights post) I proceeded to the local coffee shop. The Idiots Greeted me at the door, with a "The Coffee is not ready yet, the power went off through the night you know!!!" "Well Get me something with Caffeine in it, I am dying here" (they didn't say but I think they found some coffee in used cups filled one up and microwaved it, thinking I wouldn't notice the Lipstick on the Cup Rim).
So I am back Home waiting for a Phone call From My darling wife, " Oh you should see our new little Havanese Puppy it is so cute!!!!" "Have You thought of a Name for it yet" Yes, How about Cigar, or Andeley, or Fidela, or my favorite, "Havana we got enough dogs already"". Just got her call 10:50, she said the above verbatum.
"well Hurry on home dear, I can hardly wait for our Jack Russell Terrier to eat it's little head off!!"
Somehow with out seeing my wife I could feel Her Middle finger wave dancing wildly again.
