Merry Christmas from the Ice Storm

No power in the house, trees down in backyard, power out going on day four! No cable, internet or cell phone.

Merry Christmas from my wifi connection in the hotel we're staying at!

Mainly, I just wanted to let you all know the razors are all safe.

Talk to you all in a few days!!

Thanks!!

It's really bad down here, some poor man, about 60 years old, died in his apartment from carbon monoxide poisening...it's - 20 right now so they've got some heating centres opening.

I suspected this might be ad and reserved a room ahead of time.

Certainly an Xmas to remember...just hope we don't hear about anymore tragic accidents...sheesh, don't bring your charcoal BBQ into your apartment and light it up...

Hang in there and stay warm pal. Sad what people do without thinking in hard times.

Be well Phrank! We have been fortunate to not have an ice storm here in WI. CO poisoning has happened often and I got a mild dose of it also.
takes a while to recover.
Check furnaces and exhausts from them and other fire using equipment like dryers and water Heaters.

The condensate water outlet on the boiler exhaust stack dried out and every time the furnace came on I got combustion products blasted into the house. The level was low enough that the smoke/fire/CO detector didn't register it.

It took a long time for me to really figure the logic of where the furnace was and why I got sinus overflow when near that area and coughing my head off when the furnace fired. Had natural gas leaks last summer, and methane/ sewer gas from open water traps in unused drains last winter also.

So there is a reason for some of my weirdness over the last few months. At least I can blame that on the CO; very little oxygen getting to the brain because the red cell bonded faster to the CO than pure oxy...

A Fire Department in your area may be able to check it out if you smell gas or combustion products. Smell GAS, get dressed and out of the house...then call them!

Man... It just sounds messy up there. A girlfriend of mine lost power for four days! And she's downtown. Wow.

It's one thing in summer... winter is dangerous. Glad your ok.

I've been wondering how you have been fairing. Hopefully it's all fixed and you are back to norm soon.
