I was at the Communications group's first meeting for our area and somehow managed to get myself elected group leader. I agreed to do it for one year. There are two other hams in the group and everyone had some great ideas for when TEOTWAWKI happens. Looking to get money for some equipment for the local resource center and set up an operators position there to coordinate with Fire and other Emergency Services.
Was driving home about 40 minutes ago and while pulling in, thought I saw a lot of water in the driveway. There was! A water pipe leading to a freeze-proof hose bib had frozen in our cold weather and now that it is a balmy 23.0°F outside, the ice had melted and a half-inch copper line was spewing water into the garage and then into the driveway.
Fortunately, I was able to find a single half-inch pipe cap so got it buttoned up and the garage is draining nicely. Next time in town, I am buying a dozen in each size!
