After almost starting to take apart breaker boxes trying to figure out why half my bedroom had no power I finally decided to check the two breakers on the generator. Now I know that if one of them trip I only loose power to part of my house which makes perfect sense seeing as that would be one leg of the 220 circuit.
Got the electric chain saw that is on a pole stuck in the tree branch on the east side of my house that is laying partly on my roof. I would use the gas one but I don't want to be that close to it when it finally does break free from the couple of remaining inches that is holding it from crashing to the ground. Guess I need to go back to Home Depot and buy a come along or whatever that thing is called that has a cable and a crank so that I can wrap in around the branch and pull it down from a safe distance. Once I get it laying on the ground it shouldn't be too bad to cut up and put out with the rest of the yard derbies.
Got my front yard all cleaned up. Still have a not that big rubber tree on the east side that knocked over two sections of old fencing. Once I get the tree off it I'm going to see if I can just reuse the fencing or if I need to call someone to replace those sections.
It's getting hot out so I may wait until late this afternoon for more cleanup and I need to go gas hunting anyway.
I think it's time to relax for a bit in my nice and cool bedroom that has the A/C cranked up.
Guess I will not be needing to go to the gym for a week or so…
