Got the server installed and running so the store POS is back on its two feet.
Drove down to the island and was having dinner when the lights went out for a few seconds. Turns out that the wind advisory is still very much in effect through noon tomorrow. I know that the electrical power is very tender here on Camano Island but it is also very tender in Maple Falls so very much used to it. Got some battery lanterns, candles, flashlights, a warm blanket and a couple of books to read (plus a bottle of some nice red wine). Fire in the fireplace if it lasts for more than the night.
Here is the wind advisory - from NOAA's National Weather Service:
San Juan County-Western Whatcom County-Western Skagit County-Admiralty Inlet Area-301 AM PST Wed Dec 12 2018
...WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 6 PM THIS EVENING TO NOON PST THURSDAY...
The National Weather Service in Seattle has issued a Wind Advisory, which is in effect from 6 PM this evening to noon PST Thursday.
* WIND...South wind 25 to 35 MPH with gusts to 50 MPH.
Should be fun - it is gusting pretty strong now but nothing much happening in the bay. My little stretch of coastline faces due North and the wind is coming from out of the South so it has to pass over the body of Camano Island first.
Also, got my personalized license plate for the work van today.
The Highlander has FORGED. The van is now sporting WELD IT - surprised that these were available.
