I was up early this morning not able to sleep. So when Cheri left for her pool exercise I was ready to go out and work on the tool cabinet. I got the masking done and ready for the red paint. It was noon when I finished the painting for the day. I was able to get two coats of paint on most of it. I will still have to put on at least one more coat. I could hear thunder in the distance so I decided to quit for the day. I showered and got cleaned up and was ready for lunch. After lunch I thought I would do a little computer work and relax the rest of the day, so I thought. All of a sudden I saw a bright light and a load bang. We just had a lighting strike very close to the house. After checking to see what damage we had, I found several electric breakers tripped, the internet modem was dead, all the telephone destroyed, and the Direct TV not working. I called Direct TV and after going through checks with them they are sending a person to fix it tomorrow afternoon. I called Bright House and they came a little after 4:00 pm and was working on the problem when another storm came. After the rain he came in and said that he had everything working outside and this last storm there was another lighting strike and it destroyed the underground cable coming to the house so he laid a temp cable on the ground that will be installed Monday. I headed over to Wal-Mart and got a new phone and mouse for the computer. By 5:30 pm everything was up and working except for the Direct TV. Cheri worked on her Christmas Wall hanging today. So much for a relaxing afternoon.
