I had a friend on facebook told me her son in Indianapolis lost to garage door electric panels, modem and all their computers on the same type of surge....but their tv's were ok.<br><br>We have APC's at work for the power outages but this surge was not normal ... it was like the time I had a surge during tornados when trees were literally blowing into electrical transformers. This one today was powerful, it was just bright and sunny outside.Bhoundshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15480236513721739925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8374585414476372943.post-13834498582035643922012-08-04T23:23:51.753-05:002012-08-04T23:23:51.753-05:00101 in Oregon???

The surge protectors did their job and protected the equipment. I saw on Facebook that a lot of friends and family in Chicago are having electricity problems this week, too - but I think its weather related.Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01019364333876469130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8374585414476372943.post-20239997176918299072012-08-04T23:16:27.964-05:002012-08-04T23:16:27.964-05:00That doesn't sound like a good day!!

Seems like it's always something no matter where or what you live in. BTW, it was 101 in Eugene, OR today, a new record.Donna Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161069942110860372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8374585414476372943.post-46049319401423271882012-08-04T22:01:55.447-05:002012-08-04T22:01:55.447-05:00I like the V10 engine, highly recommended by a &qu...I like the V10 engine, highly recommended by a "gearhead" friend of mine. I have a spreadsheet on everything in my life it seems, I track every penny I make and every penny I spend,...compare the monthly averages to the previous year, etc. When I compare my current living expense against RVing, in my case they are pretty close. I am only $4K away from paying my house off and even with a low mortgage payment.<br><br>At the same time, even if RVing and a paid house are equal in expenses .... I could be up in the BLM land of South Dakota or a National Forest in Oregon instead of this "global warming" in the midwestern states :) Or next winter, instead of walking through the snow, I'm backed into a spot at the San Clemente State Park right on the ocean in southern california<br><br>Pretty simple isn't it? lolBhoundshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15480236513721739925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8374585414476372943.post-71070232208764962212012-08-04T21:53:41.232-05:002012-08-04T21:53:41.232-05:00Bhounds, I hope you've gotten these issues wor...Bhounds, I hope you've gotten these issues worked out by now. Wow. What a day for you!! Yes, I'm one of the ones with the big RV repair bill. But when you take into consideration the age of my RV & how unaware I was of the inadequate transmission cooler that they left in it, it's no wonder my mishap happened. Although it was an expensive fix, a new roof on a house is more. And the daily living expense of a house is more. Anything can happen to us at any time which incurs expenses. It's just life. But be sure not to buy anything that is too terribly old. I want my next RV to have a V10 engine, which will be a better engine. But when you consider the size of my RV, the engine it has is adequate. It was 10 years old when I paid cash for it in '06, but now it's older of course. And there were things I didn't know about when I bought it or I would have chosen something different back then. I got too anxious...TexCynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05174615550131393975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8374585414476372943.post-49779940895736534252012-08-04T20:20:03.075-05:002012-08-04T20:20:03.075-05:00Check to see if the TV's menu is working.
