this was a weird end of year day. On Thursday I was swimming in the ep when my phone disconnected form the controller due to an influx of calls and texts and emails for a SAR call near my house. SO I got out and got ready to go support and realized I dont' have a hair dryer any more. Its was 13 degrees out and sideways blowing down snow. After loading up the car I got ready to leave only to have the power go out. I can't open the huge barn door manually (one could but I can't) SO I had to round up the big plow truck and get it warmed and started. I then got there but remained in base camp doing little, there were comms issues. This was form @ 6pm to 11 pm at which point all were found and transported. Then I came home where the power was still out. SO I made canned soup on the wood stove and passed out around midnight only to wake to the sound of a truck running off the road and hitting the fence (its surprising it could be heard). Since the big truck was still warm (diesel truck in what was then around 0 F takes a while to get warm) we pulled him out...then we decided to fill the fridge with snow so the xmas treats would not spoil. I think it was back to bed at 3:30 and then at 5 the power cam eon and various things made noises and woke us up again. I managed some more paperwork Friday and the last of the close up of the dome (emptying the 40 gallon water tanks by pumping out but that was it...
