To All,

Well, did I have a fun day or what? I got the stickers ready for Chris, and
sent them out today via USPS Overnight (they should be there by noon
Wednesday, Chris)

I had to do a bank stop, and then drive down to the lovely downtown Elkhart
Post Office (BLECH*10000000) which always takes a ton of time, and I was
late coming back to Indalex.

When I pulled in, most of the office people were outsid,e in the dirt lot
next to the office, and were walking toward the power transformer near the
edge of the property. I went into the office, and the power was out. It was
around 1:20PM or so, and we sat in the office in the dark. We found out that
one of the gentlemen from Shipping accidently nudged an old power pole near
the transformer, and it jerked it enough to actually blow all the fuses in
the new $1,000,000 direct line we installed a little while ago. Needless to
say, they sent everyone home at 3:00PM, since the estimates were at least
5:00PM or so before power would be on again. So if you sent something to me
there, I did not see it, and will not see it until tomorrow.

Anyway, I went home, and found out the power was off here too!!!!!
AAAUUUGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!! After sitting in the dark, sweating for 1.5 hours,
Lynn came home, and we went out to eat, and came back. Still no power, so we
went to her friends house, and stayed there until 10:00PM or so.

It was a power problem day if I ever heard one! ; ) I will answer some of
the e-mails shortly.

Scott S.
