All in all, it was a good chance to prep the generator for the fall season, since we actually lost power during the day, when it wasn't (briefly) actually raining, and the temperature was quite balmy. Looks like the battery is drained, so that needs to be fixed, but the good old Yamaha started on the second pull.

Celebrating the break in the rains with a large mug of Lion Mountain Keemun.
Sounds like you deserve something stronger to celebrate getting through that. Glad to hear you did okay.

About to break out the Rioja as I sit and look out over the rolling hills of Derbyshire. Nothing worse than a little rain in prospect for us tonight.
