| lessons learned from cold weather
I had really anticipated some emergency postings as the wave of cold weather gripped the USA....busted pipes...lost power etc. Anyone want to share horror stories from the past and what you did in consequent years to prepare for the problems....
I can name about 2,000 things ( hey i've been at it for 3 decades ) here in the pacific northwest..... I think i had my outside pond about 2 years when a heavy snow had power down for a week and all my pipes froze. That's when my mind thinking outside the box said...hey there ricardo...in japan they put koi inside for the winter...why don't you do likewise. Which eventually led to my building an inside koi pond...and then after that initial money drain, a honda generator was added. It made life so much more enjoyable and if I could read the lips of my koi they were saying things like...thanks Dad, bless you paw...or some that just came in from Japan...Oregato....tomadachi.....
I'm hopeful some of the wealth of accumulated knowledge can be shared so that the readers ( not so much posters) can do some preparations....
