Apocalypse looming ?

My Coop, over 10k spread out of service over many counties center of service is Fredricktown about 50 miles as crow flies.  I am outer fringe of service, but they were only 1 pole away  for the whole subdivision when we started back in 98.  Others were farther and not much better.  Ameren?, Citizens?

They were first to come into the farm back in 1941 and family have been members since..  I was having troubles with the shutoff breakers this summer that were installed in 61 when Dad tore down the house and rebuilt the one  I have now.  Engineer came and and said that they  were going to replace the pole also.  When I asked why, as it seemed like a good pole, he said it was put in 1941 according to the numbers.  They reinstalled it across the branch without even asking replaced a pole that Dad just sit shallow going over to out buildings.

8:40 PM on Day 7.  Power on.

Stoking fire and light and tv came on.  Just got done with a roast and fixins in instant pot.  Cresent rolls in the Coleman Oven on the camp stove. And fireplace warming house to 72 degrees.

Shut lights out, too warm for furnace to kick on, and Dish Tv has too much snow on dish.  So, antenna where we was when ice storm.  Beat it down pretty good.
