Power surge on my street melted 4 surge protectors and took out my computer, cable boxes (wife is in withdrawals), dimmer switches, heater, AC and router.
Glad I have my phone to keep up on SRP!
And my lathe and mill weren't plugged in :)

Seriously though that is rough. Guess you will just have to go in the shop for longer to keep yourself occupied... :tu
