Good Humpday morning all.

We had a good trip up to Enid, OK for Christmas. My wife's side of the family. I did talk to my brother who lives in Alabama. And some of my cousins, around the country.

We had a power outage last night. From 2:22 to 3:33. For the most part I was not worried about it, except the 4 battery UPS units were all beeping. So I had to get up, and power down all 4. I went back to bed, and shortly after 3:00 I remembered the alarm system has a battery backup inside the metal box in one of the closets. So I opened that, pulled the battery, and went to bed. A little while later, the power came on, and I fired up all the batteries. Ta Da.

Not a real restful night of sleeping, but we survived.

I could hear my neighbors automatic generator running last night. He used to work for the power company that provides power. I will have to see what unit he has, and what is costs.
Every-time I look into it, I go from a $1,250 Honda inverter unit to a $15,000 Generac or equivalent system. Our power is just way too reliable to sped 15K on electricity for an hour evey couple of years power outage.
