Hey gang. My power's been out since Saturday evening, finally back on
today. Damn ice storm.
Saturday night I went to bed early, since there wasn't anything to do. So,
I didn't do any late night snacking that night!
Sunday morning it was so damn cold in the house, so I tried to go back to
sleep, but I couldn't, so I ended up going to my sister's. I ate a
high-carb frozen dinner over there, something with pasta in it. It was
pretty gross. That's all I ate Sunday though, so Food = Bad, but
FoodAmount = Low.
She made me some scrambled eggs and bacon this morning, so I'm back on the
low-carb track today. However, I am never letting my sister cook for me
again. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think scrambled eggs should
have crunchy orangey-brown bits, nor do I think the texture of bacon should
be like unto chewing gum.

I have only 3 flaws. My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws.

Scary stuff... Glad you made it...
I recently bought a used military surplus generator and am outfitting
it to be our backup generator:

That's some nice work! Something to be said for old surplus stuff. I'd
love to find something like that and have it fixed up. You're doing super
well.
And it's lowcarb! Low - Carb.. get it? Heee..
Best Regards,
Steve

Ah, thank you, I appreciate your compliment. Fixing that generator was
extremely enjoyable. That generator is 26 years old, but it was used
very little. Probably spent its life sitting inside a towable
floodlight that was almost never used. I did some load testing of this
generator (running under full load and seeing how much hertz change),
and knowledgeable people said that it was as good as new.

A diesel generator definitely is low carb -- it does not have a carb!
Only gasoline engines have carbs.

Welcome back! I emphatically hear ya on power outages due to weather. It
totally sucks, and has happened a few times this past year (thankfully not
- yet - this winter - fingers crossed).
Thank Goodness my guitar is acoustic :)
