Couldn't fall asleep; what to do if it's still out when I leave for work, what do I buy on the way home, what instructions do I leave for my 'thankfully she's home from work this Monday' wife ....
Needless to say but I only had about 3hrs sleep

The outage @ the end of Summer we were out for about 3hrs, but many others in my area were without power for days, and we've all heard about the losses that time around

Now if I can figure out a way to have my battery backup airpump only run for 5 mins/hr I'd be set. Guess I'll have to look into how to build a 12v timer
