I was excited when my @Xfinity services were restored after Helene, but after the fiber line was buried in my yard this morning, my services no longer work. You can't contact @XfinitySupport because they won't connect you with an agent in this area and their AI chat is lacking =(

@rebeccakeyphd I'm also very thankful for @Starlink. We were able to order a kit from @HomeDepot and get it setup. Having more stable means of communications really helps with the mental exhaustion.

@rebeccakeyphd Fourth, we've gotten to know our neighbors well, and I'm very thankful for that. Public services are slammed (understandably so), but as a community, we can accomplish a lot together.

@rebeccakeyphd Third, I knew this situation would be exhausting. However, I totally underestimated the extent to which it would be. Everything from cutting up downed trees, to maintaining a generator, to throwing together a battery bank...it's non stop.

@rebeccakeyphd Second, we were fortunate that we were able to get west toward ATL for some supplies. This was only possible because we had some fuel on hand. I've always been good about keeping a full tank, and this situation only reinforces that...

@rebeccakeyphd First, I'm really glad we became involved in #hamradio. I've heard all sorts of jokes and negative comments about the hobby and how it will never actually be useful. However, ham radio was our only reliable source of local communications for 5 days as cell towers were down.

It's been an eventful time since #Helene hit. @rebeccakeyphd and I are very lucky in that all the downed trees were isolated to the yard, but we only have to walk a few hundred yards to see the toll it took here in east GA. Lots of lessons learned

Today's #sota activation was more eventful than expected. I came way too close to a rattlesnake once we reached the summit (@rebeccakeyphd said she thinks my heel hit the snake) -- either way, that rattle was loud! At least we got our QSOs haha! #hamradio

I've been having a lot of fun with the new machine! It's also nice to hone another marketable skill

Although I've been involved in #autoupholstery and working with industrial #sewingmachines for a decade now, this new Juki 1541S is already taking my quality to the next level! Really looking forward to seeing what's next! https://t.co/TK0fOg23qR

Took me years to get to a point where my trusty Singer 111w155 was becoming a blocker to progress, but that has been officially resolved! Really looking forward to seeing how far I can continue to grow my upholstery skills.

Finally got the bike I've been wanting since I started mountain biking way back when. That's why it's going to be raining all week.

Every time I hear an Atlanta traffic report, I'm so thankful I'm no longer having to commute into the city for work!
