Do you know what's hard to do when the power is out?

Record a podcast.

And I guess you have a couple options.

You can wait for the power company, which they were out there busting their ass.

I mean, there was a combination of tree people and power people, and I'm sure they were working together.

You could wait for them.

You could freak out, which is fun.

You should do that a little bit from time to time.

Or we ended up MacGyvering it, going to Lowe's, solving it with a credit card.

Almost everything is solvable with a credit card.

Get some generators ready.

some 100-foot extension cables, heavyweight ones that can push some juice, and hook up everything in the studio to generators that are out a window, hidden behind an air conditioning unit on the roof of the building, hoping that it doesn't make too much noise.

So we were able to get one done.

Yeah, but here we are.

It's been a long one.

I got a little carafe of coffee.

I got a coffee setup in the studio now.

It's not a big deal.

appropriate size cup for those of you that are audio only you won't see that this is about the size of a thimble because although i have a coffee setup i forgot to bring a good coffee mug
