Hey all,
What a pain in the ass. Sure the day(s) the earth(DEtroit) stood still was
cool at first but after the novelty wore off, it just about sucked. No
power, no water, people panicking, lines around the corner for just about
everything.
Thursday I left work after normal time, had no idea the size of the problem.
e-ways were parking lots, once home, called a couple friends and sat around
the table drinking. Very cool, weird quite dark. Like I said very cool the
first night, but after that, I got crap to do. House projects, motorcycle
projects, insurance crap for the ambo I don't have time for this!!
I would of loved to ride around town. Nobody was out. There was a 10 pm
curfew install in some cities.
Friday around 6pm we got the call the one of our bars was open, off we went.
Just beer, no ice. The water did come back on by Friday morning, but you
still couldn't drink it=no ice. We got power back around 7pm. The bar I work
at on the weekends didn't get power 'till 10pm. No work.
Saturday business back to norm. Except we still have to boil water, PIMA.
Sat. I did some work on the waterbuffalo. The thing actually runs after
sitting forever, I'm gonna try to get that thing roadworthy while waiting
for the ins.co to get off their ass and give me my ambo back.
I think I should contract out to the cities around here. I could fumigate
for mosquitoes/west nile! filled my buddy Kevins neiborhood. The thing
sounds awesome. Low growl to it. I think I'll have to be a part time
smokerider.
