The Green Box

This is the little green box that has currently taken over my life. I am sitting down doing FHE with the kids when all the sudden the power goes out. We live on an island and this can happen pretty frequently... so I grab a flashlight and run out and get the generator started. After we contact RECO (the islands power company) they tell us the will send a rep out to check everything out as they currently have power to our grid. To make a long story short, our transformer is shot. We have been using the generator on and off for the past couple of weeks now until a new transformer can be purchased. Like two hours on, two hours off type of shifts for 24 hours a day. You don't really realize how much you depend upon something like electricity until it is completely gone from your life. My wife who is now coming up on her 8th month of pregnancy definetely is not happy with this situation. She would wait to hear the generator come on and hug the A/C conditioner until she was a popsicle! It has also led to some intense working conditions here at the resort. On the brighter side the new transformer should be pulled out of customs tommorrow and installed this week so we can finally have our lives back. It is amazing the little things you take for granted like doing email, washing clothes or showering whenever you feel like it.
