Rainbows
Its started getting windy. and windier. The lightning started with hail the size of marbles. My boat was getting tossed at the end of my dock. I had to rush out to save it from going down. Suddenly we were without power. My data and communications link dropped. I thought..."you have no plan". Truly, I had no plan. I diverted my calls to my cell which was quick and easy. I hoped into my truck and went to town to buy a generator.
I wanted to buy at a shop that understood what they were selling. I tried 2 places with no luck and decided to go to Candaian Tire. He showed me the generator and it was a too good to be true price. It was a brand name I had never heard of. I asked him if we could power it up so I could hear how loud it is. He said that he couldnt and that they were loud. I said thanks and split.
I dropped by the lumber store and asked if they knew where I could buy a decent generator. He said, do you mind used? I said, well I'd like to get one right now and no I dont mind used. So he sent me with high recommendation over to Sturgeon Rent-All. I walked in, the price was right, he powered it up so I could hear. He services what he sells. He gave me a guided tour of the unit so I knew what I was doing. Now thats how I want to do business. He helped me load it up and I went home.
The power was back, but I have the generator ready for next time.
Later, after all the bad weather, we were left with this. A beautiful rainbow. Sue and I stood out on our front lawn and just soaked it up. Rainbows are special and yes its true. There is a pot of gold at each end!
