The last hour or so have been real interesting… I was out in the yard mowing away and BANG, it sounded like someone shot a gun. I was pretty sure it was the transformer located about 75 feet from where I was. About that time, my Bride came outside and said what was that BANG… The electricity went out….

I figured it was going to be a night in the dark, no water etc…….. I called the Electric CO-OP figuring they would tell me see you in the morning. To my surprise, they said someone would be there within the hour to check out the issue. Twenty minutes later, a truck was across the road checking the line to our place. One workman was down there and the other came up to look over our transformer and box.

Turned out to be a blown fuse at the junction down by the road…. The workman at our pole looked around saying he figured there was a fried squirrel or bird, but nothing. Maybe Martha ran off with it……

So the evening turned out better than I thought…… And my Bride took over the mowing so I am inside. I checked out all the electrical systems to make sure no issues inside so as of now all is Good…. I am thankful it was not anything that was not easily fixable !!
