Lost power
Posted: Mon Dec 18, 2006 7:20 pm
WE lost power for a few days last week. One of those nights we went up to the a small dam that's drain goes under our road. The drain was pluged. We tried to clear it from the uphill side. No go. Water was about a foot over the drain and rising, so it had to be cleared that night. We tried a long stick and a snake. No go.
I went to the other side of the road and climbed down to the out fall. My shiny flats got muddy in the creek and I almost fell a few times but I found the problem. A socker ball was lodged in the last pipe joint. I got thinking that all that water was going to go between my legs when that ball went. I had no place to go and with a skirt and flats I was not go far anyway. I changed into a pair of jeans and sneakers. I made a sharpe stick to pop the ball. When the ball let go, I had a 8 inch head of water hiting a bank and going down stream . I had a helping hand to get out of there. Soaked from the knee down but the creek was open .
THE SHOES
Clean
Dirty
I need to clean them. The MJ's I was wearing today.
