I haven't posted since last Sunday because of an act of nature. Seems that a bolt of lightning hit the house around 10:30 pm Sunday night. I was watching TV when I heard a strange "pop" over by the Margaritaville bar just as a bright flash and really strong clap of thunder took place.
There was no loss of electricity or even flickering of lights and no problem with the TV in the Margaritaville pit, so I didn't think much of it.
The next morning, my wife Liz said she couldnt get the computer turned on and had been up most of the night working on it. Also, there was no hot water.
The house is 15 years old, so maybe it was just the water heater's time to go to that great scrapyard in the sky. But two major items going out at the same time? That is too much of a coincidence, even if Big Oil tells us that the skyrocketing cost of gas and their unbelievable profits have nothing to do with each other.
CONFIRMATION
Called our local 'puter guy John who was able to come out. He works for Nerds on Site (what a great name) and looked at it and said the mother board was 'fried" and most likely by lightning.
But wait, there's more.
So That's What It Was. --Cooter
