A return to normalcy

posted in Uncategorized |

Outside, a world of swirling whiteness. Snowstorm. Good enough to close the schools, and limit the plow. Despite that, sometime just before noon, the genny service truck pulled into the lane, and the two trained techs were on my job, immediately. I did go out, but only because it seemed like a friendly move. They knew what they were about.

A quick check of the onboard log file, a reset of a breaker, turn in the propane and push start. Genny roared to life. A couple of additional tests, and then they were gone. Fifteen minutes, tops. That’s service. Even if the power company trips, we are safe. Self sufficient. All good, from where I sit.

Back when we originally spec’d out our genny, I asked the company owner about the gap in price between his quote compared to a locak box store. His reply was measured and polite. He installed what he sold, and he serviced things going forward. Something the box store would not do. Well, I overcame my reticence (obviously). And now, if anyone should ask about my willingness to recommend the dealer/comtractor/guy from down the way, I am a convinced and satisfied client. Simple as that.

And that’s about all that happened here, today, in the country. We’re a world away from the “freedumb convoy” debacle. If the federal government decides to up the ante with some additional “powers”, I am in favour. I’m already free, but not dumb. Just because you have a loud horn on your loud truck, you don’t have any real power, or authority. And when the next electiomns are called, the choice of the goveerment to do their duty will overshadow the silly comments on social media.
