Power Outage after heavy Snowfall

If you are at home a power outage can be quite nice. You lighten up a few candles and cuddle up in a blanket. At work however, one becomes quickly redundant.

This morning my better half had asked me to confirm safe arrival at the office because he was worried about the weather and driving conditions. I sent him a picture to prove that everything went swimmingly.

Then around 2PM we experienced a power outage in the area. It was on and off again, and we had lost our internet connection, too, so the boss gave us the rest of the day off... well not really, of course he expected that we would continue to work from home. So, here i am sitting in my 'home office', which is actually the dining table... working.

Some good news: It seems the Mayan calendar wasn't interpreted correctly. Doomsday has been postponed for another century, and Apocalypse is now scheduled for 2116. All is well.

I wish everybody a very Merry Chrismukkah and a Happy New Year!

Find me on the Road again... in 2013.

Last Challenge of the Year

I have taken up the challenge posted by Scooter for Fun, looked under the seat of Bella, the Vespa GTS250, pulled out the items 'living' in the trunk, and snapped a picture before stuffing them back inside.

Balaclava (replaced by a beanie during warmer seasons),

Pair of spare gloves (always!),

Bungee net in a blue pouch (for stuff that doesn't fit in the top case),

Empty fuel bottle (note to self: needs refill),

High-viz vest (never on the road without a high-viz something),

Kidney belt (keeps me warm and supports my back),

Pair of goggles (never used).

No surprises, no weird stuff, all practical and well used items except for that pair of goggles.

Ohne Worte, sprachlos...
