In CT, we lived at the end of a power line, where we could lose power if someone even blew at the wires. After losing power for a week or more at a time during Hurricane Sandy and the ice storm later that fall, we ended up putting in a standby whole h...

It just so happens that my house has a main panel about 20 yards from the house, so I was able to put the 220V plug out there. That gets the generator a bit farther away -- a good thing, since they are noisy. You can monitor the progress of the power...

The generator I bought has a metal fuel tank. I saw a couple others in the back of somebody's pickup truck, and they had plastic fuel tanks. I wish mine had a plastic fuel tank! This thing is probably going to sit for years before I need it again, a...

I want to think that this post was funny, as I have monitored the power company's progress many times by just listening for generators. Many hugs! BB

Since Eeyoremama and Country Duo planned a cruise for 2019, we decided we needed a landlubbers event in Florida too! March 9 2019. Would love to see you there! Event: https://www.atlasquest.com/showinfo.html?gEventId=4102 Tracker: https://www.atlasq...

My grandma in Buffalo was without power for several days one winter. They bought a full automatic generator after that, which cost several thousand dollars. But worth it for a 90+ year old lady's peace of mind, I guess.

Only a couple more days to get the awesome November Box of the Month! The box will go on to it’s next stop on Wednesday or Thursday! BB

Tomorrow will be the last day for the BOTM! Be sure to get this great stamp by IrishRef! The stamp will be sent to it's next location on Thursday morning. BB

Sorry for the delay on the box of the month. The person who sends it to me finally picked it up this morning and is getting it out to me tomorrow which means it probably won’t be here until Tuesday. Again, sorry for the delay. I will try to keep it as...

December’s box of the month is out and awaiting visitors! BB

Just a reminder that December's Box of the Month is out and since it got a late start this month, we will be keeping it until January 2nd, so you will have all through the holiday break to get it. Also, Santa Mickey will be out until January 2nd, and...

January Box of the Month will be out tomorrow AM! Santa Mickey and December BOTM will also be here! Stop on by! BB

FYI that the January Box of the Month will only be out for another 10 days or so. Hope you will be able to come out and get this great stamp before it heads on it's journey! Also, Santa Mickey has an extended stay as well, and will be out until the J...

Is there still a letterboxer who works in the Christmas shop at Disney Magic Kingdom? I met her there once, but I can't remember her name. I'll be at Disney next month and thought I'd look her up if she still works there.

You may be thinking of Sits n Knits. I think she still works there.

Best wishes for a good year of letterboxing! I hope our paths cross again soon. Your U-Haul Graphics event boxes are unique and wonderful!

It makes me smile to think of how long we've been letterboxing. Happy AQ day, DS!

Thanks. :) I didn't even realize it was my AQversary. Lots of good years, lots of good friends. :)

Happy AQ Day DS, looking forward to seeing you very soooon!

Thanks! I've sent her a message, but haven't heard back yet.

Yes Sits n Knits still works @ the xmas store/her 1st name is Dawn.

Thanks so much!

Traveling with two folks with knee injuries, but both agree to short hikes on the weekend maybe. We plan on a vist some Ambassador owls, any other suggestions?

In my opinion, as a part time Florida hiker and an almost full time Pennsylvania hiker, all hikes in Florida are much easier than other areas because they are mostly level walks with no rocks in the trails (big time issue here in PA) although there are...

Yes, Sits N Knits still works at the Christmas Shop, but it's not in the Magic Kingdom. It's at Disney Springs. BB

I agree with Janila. Most of the hikes here are short, and the trails are not hard at all. A few roots here and there, and a boardwalk or two, but they are not bad at all! You would get into some hills in the Clermont area, but there aren't any boxe...

The Box of the Month is out each month for approximately three weeks, about six to eight miles from World Drive. And it's a driveby..... AND you can exchange with me if you let me know when you're coming to the box! It's a new stamp each month too!...

We plan on a vist some Ambassador owls, any other suggestions? Are you thinking of the Ambassador Owl series in Merritt Island? If so and you are headed to Brevard County there is Sams House Pine Island in Merritt Island and also the Enchanted Forest...

Thanks!

Happy AQ Day! I’ve been out of the loop but hope to change that soon and box with you!
