Well... Pops and I went through the house with a find toothed comb. We can't figure out where all the smoke was coming from last night. Nothing smells like it was burning or anything.
We did find a bad circuit breaker but it's a chicken & the egg scenario... Did the circuit breaker blow and cause all the smoke... or did something else cause all the smoke and blow the circuit breaker... Found a couple of power outlets that needed to be replaced, and did that. Other than that, all is clear.
Wow...what a night.
Didn't find any burnt rodent or insect husks in the breaker or surrounding areas?
Does one of your kids have a chemistry set? I used to make some horrific aromas with mine, some with smoke, some without.
Nope. No dead rodents or pets or chemistry sets (yet). Best I can figure is the circuit breaker burned out and smoked up the place. The living room circuit tripped and was fine, but the one for the stove had to be replaced.
Humpty Dumpty has been back together for hours now and no worse for the wear. We don't know what caused it... But whatever it did definitely took out our stove's breaker.
Maybe the stove did something funky. Is it new or old?
Relatively new... (I'd guess 3 to 5 years due to the safety features on it). Gas stove with electric ignition and digital clocks timers, etc). When the power blips on it, it locks it self so the gas won't run at all until we unlock it.
No burn marks or smells anywhere we checked.
It doesn't seem like a gas one would overload a breaker. You, sir, have electrical gremlins!
I believe I will have to check and make sure that they were fed before midnight last night. May be the root cause, ha ha.

Telltale got me hooked. TWD video game was SO good. So far the show isn't on par at all. But it seems okay.

That's too bad. The game is amazing. -

I saw it at the drive in last year. It's not bad. Way better than 2 & 3. More action than the first. Less drama.

Drinking coffee, trying to get my barrings, got a call at 4:30 in the morning for support for a client.
Wasn't up long as the issue was easily resolved, but my schedule is messed up.

Didn't have power for 7 hours last night, didn't come back on until I needed to get up for work... whole town was out. We heard a chainsaw going at ~3 this morning so we assume a tree fell on the lines. We didn't sleep much between the lack of white noise and the heat.
-
Good morning everyone.

Man that sucks. I have a CPAP so for me that would have been a whole night sitting up in the dark.

That's pretty much what it was. Emilia is used to white noise so without it she kept startling herself awake. Normally she wakes up at ~3AM and goes immediately back to bed after a feeding. Last night she was up ~every 10 minutes.

WIth my boys, battery powered radio on static got us through some overnight power outages. Being an Amateur Radio nut, it was easy to just set one of my ham radios to an unused frequency and I have enough batteries to go all night.

That's a good idea. Need to find a radio though.
