AS a side note Len / all When WE lived in The Detroit area we had a gas refrig. Which if our elecrtic went out our staeks never thawed. Hell our Marion's Relatives, my inlaws, would bring their meats and other stuff over. Mu brother-in-law was a butcher at A&P's talk about chowing down.

Subject: ShopTalk: (OT) Blackout (was Alternate Windows Update site)
How many here were affected by the blackout?
Toronto is still affected by rotating blackouts and I know of at least 1 person in the GTA who still has not had power connected. I just got home for the first time since the power came back on the first time and am cleaning out my fridge, tossing most of it unfortunately! Just as fortunate that my fridge is darn near emply most of the time anyway! (Life of a bachelorette... LOL)
We didn't lose water here (where I stayed with a friend) but had no landline phone for 24+ hours. My cellular didn't work either but theirs did (different providers/networks I guess). Toronto subway and streetcars are still not operational but buses and trains are resuming their routes. It's been interesting!!!

Golfing tomorrow thank god, haven't played much this year. Built (lazily) a new set of clubs - removed my snake eyes TC01 from my rifle 5.0's and put on the Dynacraft 1030CV's I bought when they cleared them out in March. I want to eventually use them with graphite shafts but haven't the time nor money to do that properly right now. I was going to fix a few things on the SE's and decided what the heck, may as well put the new heads on instead and try 'em out. I checked the swingweights only - laziness as I said - and built them as-is, only adjusting for consistent swingweight. They are heavier, D0 to D1 whereas the SE were C8 to C9. I didn't think that would work for me but I am hitting them better and I *really* like the way they set up. Have a tournament next Saturday then the Ont Mid Am the week after (Brian Agar - saw that your wife is playing too... ) then another tourney the week after that for a one day thing --- maybe it was the right decision to change the heads after all now that I am hitting these a bit more consistently! : )

I started to update my windows (actually not necessary with 98 Version) when the electricity went out yesterday afternoon! It sure produced a "new outlook". Went home and emptied the refrigerator as did my neighbors. Had a big block party! Out came the Coleman lanterns and Citronella candles and we talked well into the night. Got the power back in the store this morning but no water. Oh well, now business stinks as much as I do! The camping trip is almost over, hope I've got electricity at home and water too. Washing with GoJo and Fast Orange is gritty business. Guess I'll just go to the lake and swim with a bar of Dial.
