Power came back up at 10:30 am and cable about 45 minutes ago.

So all total over 10 hours overnight with the generator paying for itself.

Now I'm waiting on the rain-delayed Nascar cup race to start on tv.. and today is SeaFair Sunday in Seattle.. Hydroplanes on Lake Washington all afternoon.. and weather in the low 90's to go with it.
