Arrows vs VW

Powers out, ten at night, no internet, no lights, no TV. I am

pretty well set up with cordless flashlights, for work, but

still pretty hard to be doing stuff.

I was talking with someone, a little more in the know than I,

about our power situation, cause its crapolla. we get

constant brown outs, almost daily. They were saying that they

are upgrading rural alberta, but so far we are all on dead

ended lines, where they should be on loops, fed from two ends.

So every time one of the big natural gas compressors in a

field, out this way, fires up, our power drops off to nothing

for 2 seconds, and who knows what kind of surges result from

that. A Ted Energy Detective would be great to find out the

if there is any potentially harmful peaks. I have to invest

in a uninteruptable power suply if I want the tower to stay

on. Then the internet routers are always unhappy to be shut

down for just 1-2 seconds, and they then all need a 10 second

reboot after the brown outs. Plus all the motion detectors stay on.
