So sorry to hear about that outage, I can't believe these automated systems are really that much cheaper and I know they are not as efficient when things go wrong. But sounds like you were prepared as one could be.
Splendid weather here, but as usual April and October get way too busy, just when you want to be left alone to enjoy the weather and/or hunker down for cold weather. The calendar gets crowded enough with festivals and holidays, I wish they would leave the online gatherings for nasty weather!
Had a hectic week detailing the RV again and hauling it off for consignment, only to find the place was a racket, insisting on doing work in their service shop, on a unit in perfectly good condition. Noped right out of there, but back to square one. Will discuss a new plan with a retired dealer.
But the snowbirds have started arriving, one is due in a few hours for some yard camping, so rushing about trying to get yard and house decent.
