Power out on the lane here this morning. Has to be the darned vines that grew up the guy wire all the way up to the primary lines and insulators. Tons of dew, been foggy every morning for days, high humidity etc. Looks like wild grapes, those vines are full of water. I drive past this pole every day and its our land this is coming from. Problem is, when I noticed this, no way I'd go near it, forgot to call the power company to clear it. Work takes all of my attention lately. Once they do I'll have to remember to keep this area clear. It's along the lane here and behind the adjacent property owner, easy to miss. It must have tripped the breaker. Can't imagine what would happen if one took a set of loppers to it if energized.
Back up power got me a hot cup of tea, favorite vermont bread company english muffin toast w/strawberry preserves, and hot shower this morning. I'd have to make eggs on the bbq. Good to go til they get it restored. Line truck just pulled in. Should be an easy one for them.
Anyone have any outage stories related to vegetation causes ?
I have never seen so many vines as of late. They are all over NY. If the land is not in use they take over everything, cover trees completely and many of the telephone/cable lines are covered along my route to work, as well as dead trees leaning up on those lower lines. Forestry outfits can stay busy here a long time and the power company is good about this, just it is becoming a lot to keep up with lately.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
