Some of you may know that I have had a bevy of electrical problems at my house recently. These problems have cost thousands in replacement applainces and such... the dishwasher alone went out twice and once dumped 100's of gallons of water into the basement destroying sheetrock and papers in Yopu's office down there...
Today, I had SMUD our local provider out here to check the electrical system because I thought this could be power spikes and such... Some of you who have been here know that I live on 2 acres in the middle of the city up 100 yards off the road and a good deal of my property is wooded and wild. Out in the woods they discovered that my ground cable had been severed by a tree. No wonder... Anyway, this destroyed my chance to go to WCR as I have been cleaning up and replacing appliances... I haven't checked but I suspect SMUD isnt responsible for my applainces and DVD players and such... It's only money I guess... |

Sorry about all the trouble. If it makes any difference the WCR was a complete bust. Nobody enjoyed themselves at all. The ride to Ranier was long and boring and I'm told the ferry almost sank and scared the hell out of everyone. The food was lousy and so was the hotel. Half the group was arrested for drunk and disorderly one of the guys was arrested for swimming naked in the pool. The Issawhatsit police were giving out nasty looks to everyone. One of us was even given a speeding ticket (a story that has yet to be finished) immediately upon entering the state of Washington. I myself was forced to drive through the Mt. Hood National Forest!! Nothing but curvy roads, huge pine trees, blue sky, and SNOW. I had to deal with snow in July!! Can you imagine? It was horrible. Because of the fires in California, I was forced to drive up the coastline of California and Oregon, adding literally hours to my trip up there. Nothing to look at but more big green trees and ocean. What a bore! Why your problems PALE in comparison to what we had to indure on the WCR. Count your blessings you weren't there.
