Only after I sacrificed two huge 200 year old oak trees do I have power. The power company said the ground was to muddy to repair the lines, but they could completely move the line if they could cut down 2 huge oaks I had which I would have preferred to wait for the ground to dry BUT ... me having a rare moment of kindness knew that if I didn't let them move the line and cut down the trees, not only my power would still off but a bunch of people down the line would be without power for another 2-3 weeks. So on top of the tons and tons of wood I already have on the ground, they drops those oaks on me too ... alone with the big maple and really old redbud ... I was p**sed! Since they only told me one of the oaks would have to come out and they ended up taking 4 trees ... we're talking huge. One oak was about 3 feet across and over 100 feet tall, well it's not anymore it's just a stump now.
Over all it's wasn't that bad to be "roughing" it for 2 weeks, I ran the generator a few hours a dry, cooked over the fire in iron skillets, lit the place with old antique kerosene lamps and I kept a fire going so I was warm. Hauling wood end all the time got the place filthy, but that's cleaned up now. The family went to my Dad's they weren't much liking it, they're just not that adventurerous, the Mrs's came back a few days but wasn't liking it one bit. Shoot I even made a pot of burgoo (You Kentuckians know what that is) outside in a iron kettle, trying to use all that food in the freeze before it went bad. I can't com[lain still there are a lot of people without power yet and some may be out for another month yet.
The guys that came in from out of state said they worked Katrina and the damage to the electrical system here was far worse than that, we had 100% power outage in all of western Kentucky and parts of northwestern TN. With my generator I had the lone lights for miles around.
For the most part life is back to normal all that is left is to clean up the mess, I've already cut about 10 cords of wood (a cord of wood is 4'X4'X8' stack) and I only have about a 100 to go ... one thing is for sure I will not run out of wood anytime soon. I'll have tons of hickory and maple of smoking meat and tons and tons of oak and various other woods for burning.

Glad to hear your back in black! I'm sorry to here about the trees.  Bluesad I hold a big respect for them old timer trees. I had some nice ones at my old place. They gave me a sense of,I dunno, stability. Like looking at the stars and the moon.

"Burgoo" sounds like a version of what Tara Sue called 'slumgullian". Toss a lot of stuff in a pot,and cook it up. Kinda like a hillbilly stew. We used to make Hillbilly Pie too. Mashed potatos with canned veggies and hamburger all mixed up.

Thanks fellows, I'm not threw with the power company, as they could have ran the line 25' to the east and not needed to cut a single tree. I know they are working hard to get the power back on ... but when this is all said and done and the next meeting (we're a co-op power company) I'm having someone ass. Because this is one unhappy customer.

Welcome back to the 20th Century!  Hope that they get your part of the woods back in working order in the near future.  It's nice to rough it for a few days, but after a while the novelty wears off.  Plus it's awfully hard for present society to function without power and fuel.  Commerce and all the more intricate workings grind to a halt.

Me, I miss the days when you could swap a good club for somebody's rabbitskin pouch.
