Just a quick update on the electrical nightmare that has been my December:

Work crews have made good progress on clearing branches from my driveway, and a professional tree remover will be coming out tomorrow (fingers crossed) to remove the giant tree in a yard adjacent to mine.

After that, an electrician on stand-by will come out to repair my meter base, at which time OG&E will reinstall a line to my house and turn her on.

Now, if that seems a bit fast for you, it does for me as well. I'd consider it nothing short of a Christmas miracle if electricity were back on at my place by Friday. We've got winter weather coming in again on Saturday, and so if it's not done by Friday, we're looking at sometime after the holidays more than likely.

The really good news is that the giant tree that has hung over my driveway will be gone. I'll be able to park there again without fear that the giant tree would fall on it. Plus, I'm really pleased at how quickly and how urgently my landlord is working to get this done. Sure, I might have to eat those words, but I'm not an impatient guy, and I realize just how taxing this entire process is on local labor.

So, I'll leave it at this: So far, so good.

Here's the video I put together this morning:
