Who turned the lights out?

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

What a pity I didn't have a few T1 Lithium off grid power containers ready, they would have sold like hot cakes and really put us on the map, "when the grid fails we won't leave you in the dark"
With the sorry condition the grid network is in it was inevitable a failure like this was going to happen, loose the distribution network and the state to state interconnectors have to auto shut down.
It's a pity we weren't there to power up the workshop lights from the Mazda, that would have been enough to get the word about :lol: Think we ill have to put up an LED sign out the front with the new catch phrase "we won't leave you in the dark" and have it light up every night :lol:

Next door neighbors was still lit up so looks like he might be in front of you Terry.
Lights came back on during the morning as they were still out about 1:00 when I got up for a nightly walk.
Still very windy and raining on and off with lots more to come.
Had to stop making saw dust when the power went out but back into it this morning.

Was very cosy down our way sat in the bus, fired up the diesel heater and watched TV, lucky the fridge was stocked with beer and wine.

How long do you reckon you could last if there was no sun for say 1 week if you used all appliances as normal?
