Talk about "man"ly

I have done and continue to do alot of manly things:
fix pipes
sheetrock
change locks
fix roofs
carry heavy things
MOVE heavy things
kill large ugly creatures in the house
place poison down for mice
stand tall in the face of adversity!

BUT there is one thing I hated doing and have not had to do in the middle of the night until now.

It's when you get the call from one of the tenants..... the breaker just went off.
The old house can not take all these new appliances....space heaters 1. problem 2. hair dryers
3. air conditioners OR basically more then one thing in an outlet.

11:45 last night - Tramaine: "Joy, I'm real sorry but...."
11:50 drag my cold butt up to the apartments get the tarp off of the outdoor entrance to the basement, find the flashlight conveniently on the brick shelf and walk through mud and dirt under falling insulation to the back of the building to search for the correct breaker box.
11:55 all is fine.
12:00 "NOW" just try and fall back to sleep (sure!)
