!!!!!!!!!!!! SEPP to Boot: Stephen's Experience (BEL)

Always a buzz to see permie backup equipment perform so successfully and not be reliant on power during an outage. Well done to all of you, it looked like an amazing day.

Heard about the power outage on the news and thought of you! I had no doubt you'd ride it out with all the usual comforts!

SKIP 2024 has wrapped. Well done, everyone...!



Here's SKIP guest Matthew practicing his welding skills on a kindling cracker.



Right next to him, SKIP guest Alex puts the finishing touches on her kindling cracker.



Finally: I would be absolutely remiss if I didn't mention my two helpful assistants for today's pizza baking: Gabe and David. You were the stars of the day... Thanks, guys!!!



That's all for now. Thanks for reading, and enjoy your day...!

After shuttling a SKIP guest to the airport, I had a chance to bicycle round Missoula a bit. Things are still messed up after the wind storms earlier this week. No one's in the river due to downed power lines making the surface waters unsafe. The neighbourhoods are dotted with "brush piles" of broken tree limbs and branches.







I would have continued along the Milwaukee Path Bike Trail, however it was blocked and closed due to a downed power line.

Here's a spot where a residence was smashed with the downed tree. Looks like the tree's diameter was several feet across.







I think it'll take public works an additional week to clear things up completely round here.

Meanwhile... You can find the most interesting things at Little Free Libraries. I mean, anything endorsed by "Nick The Greek" has a lot going for it, says I.



Apart from that, the day was a personally tough one. But enough about that.

That's all for now. Thanks for reading, and enjoy your day...!
