Right now I work for my dad, i was going to get up at 6:30 AM, but he got me
up at 5AM since we were losing electricity from time to time. And sure
enough wjile working the power went out twice came back minutes later.

So then I proceed to go outside, scrape ice, and used hot water to get into
2 tractors to feed cows (I live on a dairy farm).

So then It is time for breakfast and coffee. All good until we want to go
back to work and the power goes out and stays out.

My dad and both employees and my bro who has a snowday keep busy doing non
electical things while I feed. When I was done feeding I proceded to clean a
3rd tractor to run the generator.

We get the generator out, my brother checks if there is power and turns all
big power switches off. My dad and I hook up the generator. I decided to
check one more time, and sure enough, WHILE HOOKING UP THE GENERATOR THE
POWER COMES BACK!!!

In the 2 minutes the powerswitches were tunrned off power came back! It is a
good thing though, electricity is cheaper than diesel, and the new tractor
still only has 2 hours on it.
