Well, maybe I am exegerating here (however you spell that stupid word). It may not have been "6 am", but it was "Way dam early" for me. "8 am may be the right way to say" (I normally don't wake till 2 pm).

Well, there was this stupid storm. Roxann said "Gary, you gotta get up". If you don't, the basement will flood.

I said.. "Fuck that", the basement won't flood! She said "Gary, I know my parents house". It will flood here. We need to get out the "Generator", and pump the "sump pump" (or whatever that thing is called).

I said, OK.. well where is the generator. To my surprise, it was buried under a TON of chit in the garage. So we got it out. This was at "6 am" to remind you.. lol. To be honest. I am not a morning person.. lol.

No gas. Ok Roxann went to the store to get gas. She came back.. we had "NO POWER STILL". We put gas in it.

I don't know how many years since the thing was started. Plus I knew nothing about the thing. So, at "6 am".. I began the process of pulling the string to start that bastard. Wasn't working. I thought, maybe there is a trick to it. "Roxann.. call your MOM". Ask her what she knows.

Mom didn't know much. All she said was "It started easy last time I tried". I pulled the string again.. it started.

Roxann said "we just run it in the garage". I was like "No fucking way we are gonna do it there. My displays have $5000 of stock now. We can't let ANY moisture in. We gotta MOVE the generator somewhere, If not.. all those coins and chains will turn black. There is really no other place to move them.

We dug out cords.. we moved the thing to the shed. I told "Roxann", yeah I'll stay awake. I don't trust your kids to watch this shit. I'll need "something to drink tho". We headed to the store. I got a pint of Rum and some cigars.

So we got back. We had power (several long cords were run to the house). I made the kids "re-route" everything so I could use my computer.

Dammit, I forgot the "internet" was routed through her computer. Plus it "needed" (The DSL box) to be plugged in. Gawd DAMMIT I thought!!! I felt "homeless again"...

Luckilly, I have alot of "emulated" games on this computer (illegal, but what do I care). The computer worked, just no internet.

Sebastian woke up (our 15 month son). So me and he began playing games. He's pretty good at video games.. especially the "fighting ones". He is however just a "button smasher". He really doesn't know what he is doing, but he does realize if he "pushed" a button.. someone will "hit or kick".

The power came back. So then we had to change all those cords back (pain in the ass). Roxann is now back. I still got some "Rum", but soon I will go in the room and "pass out".

6 AM sucks!!!

Gary :)
