Tuesday evening, again with power
Comments (0) Power lines went down this morning about 4 am. Pine tree took them out this time. Called around and got prices on a pole to move the service to the road. Went to get Bertha (ford f350 with a 8×12 steel bed) to unload to go to marvins to get a pole when Cat hollered at us that the power company was here.
They were, all 10 of them. They spliced the wire back together and rehung it. Took them between 1 and a half to 2 hours I guess.
Bill and I cut a bunch of limbs off and the guy in the bucket truck did the higher ones so the drive is much wider and taller now.
Phone lines are still on the ground. Got the stripped ends twisted to the line coming into the trailer so its working anyway. Will get them up and attached to the trailer tomorrow baring additional accidents and depending on how I feel.
Quite itchy right now. I think I got poison ivy on both arms while attaching the strap to the totally covered pine log this morning. 3 times. Then it was also all over the dead oak in front of the trailer that I cut while the lines were down.
Am somewhat exhausted and the way my arms are hurting may not be up to anything tomorrow.
For now gonna go wash a bit then use the cortisone spray and hope for another 3 hours of relief…
