'Do you have a flashlight?'
on: October 02, 2015, 06:33:03 AM
We have a telephone pole right on the corner of our property that has power lines running to our house, and our next door neighbors'. I think it's slowly bending away from our houses, toward the street. Well, the increased tension tore the connecting piece out of our house, and our neighbors'. The Ameren guys came by last night and were talking to our neighbor.

Then, tonight, the Ameren guy came back and said they were going to reconnect the line to our house, and wanted to schedule a 15 minute power outage for tomorrow. I asked if he could just do it now. He said he could, and asked if I had a flashlight, and could kill the main breaker to the house.

I was standing at the front door talking to the guy, and my husband was sitting in his recliner only feet away, overhearing the conversation. When i closed the door, hubby said: " 'Do you have a flashlight?'. That's a good one."

That's a SAK model, not a flashlight model!

Oh, no... he was asking if I had a flashlight to find my way around the place once the breaker was thrown. He didn't need to borrow one. His truck had big honkin floodlights he could turn toward the area he was working on, AND he had a big D-cell maglight with some kind of 'burn your retinas to cinders' LED light in it, I'm guessing about 400 lumens, the way it felt when he swept it over my eyes on the first night he came by.

My hubby's response was also because i have like 20 flashlights, spread all around the house.

That is sort of funny, but I guess one can always be surprised at those who don't have one. I once bought a friend one simpy because I was over at his place trying to fix something for him in a rather dark corner of a room and I asked him for a flashlight. His reply of no sort of gave me a hell no gut reaction. I had to use the little one on my keychain...but I wanted something bigger and stronger. The next time I came over to his place, I gave him a much larger flashlight and told him to not lose it.  :rofl:

Yeah, your place sounds like my place. I have them all over. Moreover, I have around 10 battery operated lanterns I store in the bathroom. I had bought them as a night time lighting scheme for my back deck. They come in handy for power outages. One per room will light that area beautifully.  :facepalm:
