[Magdalen] Powering Down.

[cady soukup]

Lucky you!

We are (finally) investigating a propane generator after realizing
that we have had almost one outage over a day long since the derecho
storm in 2012 brought us 8 days of outage. This spring's windstorm
brought us 4 frigid days of outage. My husband has been talking with
Mike Mahoney about specifics.

we had a family morel-gravy and steak dinner last night in celebration
