When I built my house my Dad helped me with the plumbing. He insisted on bringing the water lines up thru the floors instead of the exterior walls. I told him it looked better in the wall but he said no. I've never had one freeze in28 years, thanks Dad

They have both phone and email. Collected it when I signed up for service with them last year. Heck, entergy collected both when I got service with them when when we purchased our house 13 years ago.

I've had this place going on 18 years, can't remember if I gave either when I initially got service but moot point anyway. Don't have the same phone # or email address I had back then.

Whoever did the plumbing that was here when we bought this place seemed to have gone out of their way to do a half-@ssed job. Ran the supply and drain pipes right at the outside wall when it would have been easier to do both 18" or so in.

Phone numbers changed. Email has been the same for years. Last house, Entergy used to text me power outage info, and if we still had issues after they texted to say they resolved it. I could just text "Out," and they would send someone over to investigate. I saved the info on my phone after the first tornado came through our area. If the power went out, I could just text "out." It sure beat being on the phone for 45 minutes trying to get a live person to report an outage when a suicidal squirrel tripped the transformer.

That is sad. Praying for the folks up there.

I went out to clear my north driveway today and found the hardest wind-packed snow drift I have ever had.

The 60" front mount blower on a 3R series Deere tractor had to really work to move it. The blower and front wheels kept riding up on top of the drift.

I thought that after getting the first pass through, the rest would blow easy but it was just as much of a fight as the first pass.

I actually worked up a sweat in the cab but it was a sunny day and only 10 degrees.
