My Super Summer Saturday

June 30, 2019 by Depression Is Not My Boss Leave a Comment

It was a lazy summer Saturday. Hot, as you would expect, and humid, as you would prefer it wasn’t. Yet, I had planned out the day to take advantage of the cooler parts.

You’ll never guess what my house’s WRAP plan is

June 26, 2019 by Depression Is Not My Boss 3 Comments

My house WRAP plan is a generator

1.35 inches of rain fell in the past 30 minutes and the power just went out. Soon I may be hauling the generator up from the lawnmower shed. Generally, the power is not off but for a few minutes. Generally. When it goes out and stays out, it can be three or four days. I have a generator on wheels I can roll up to our covered front porch.
