Duck report (QWAK):36_1_63:

Was able to get through to the Duck on the phone this morning.

He is still without power. Sounded rather tired, but was in good spirits. He says it has been a good test of his gear, but has had numerous things go wrong on him. The generator completely bit the dust a few hours after he reported on here he had patched it up.

To his horror he also found that an inverter he had to run a number of deep cell batteries also failed to work. He has had it for sometime, he said. He has taken it to bits and can't find anything obviously wrong with it, but nonetheless it does not want to play. The Duck Pond is down now, as he can't not run the small pump on his woodfired system to it. He is using water from the Duck Pond to flush the loo.

He still has lots of stored (fresh) water. He had been experimenting with eating various MRE's but has moved on to steak and other luxuries as by now his deep freeze is thawing out. He reports that the cat and dog, who are also eating steak, are pleased with this arrangement.

He said to tell you all to remember with your kerosene lamps to keep checking them and adjusting the flame lower as they warm up, he overlooked this one night and blew the chimney up on his. He is very down on little rechargable lights from China at the moment. Verdict - useless.

He was able to move all the fallen branches from his driveway with a hand saw - he said he was scared to use the chain saw as the conditions were so slippery. Like the good Duck he is, he has been out and about checking on neighbours and taking boxes of preps to ones having difficulty.

His power has been out 8 days now, he said that is his previous record. He has no estimate when he will get it restored. Feels it could be another week or more.

He basically seems fine and says he can hardly wait to post about it all. He is trying to get another inverter at the moment.

So the Duck is getting by, and keeping positive.:ok::shine:

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

Thanks Maxine for the update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:shine:

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

Duck is a mole? in the words of Slim Pickens: Now I am depressed.
:hissyfit_m:

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

Yes, it is good to know he is still afloat.:yes:

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

Oh poor Duckie... tell him my prayers are with him... He will be light years ahead of us in preps after this expereice.

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

He plans to give us all a good briefing on his experiences when he gets back on line. It will no doubt be very helpful.

Avalon, I relayed to him that people were wondering about him. If he can get another inverter he thinks he might be able to get back on line, even if the power is still off. Though he said he thinks his area is bottom 5% in the priority line to get power back up, so he may go a full three weeks off grid.

I have told him that if he can't post in a few days time I will call him again and update everyone here. He has unearthed a splendid old phone that makes a noise like an old fashioned British pay phone when he dials it. He demonstrated it for me, it was great! Ha, ha, ha!

Duck's neighbours are lucky to have him. He is far too busy of thinking of others, including the pets, to be feeling sorry for himself.

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

Thanks Maxine,
I'm glad he is ok.
If you talk to him again, let him know he is in our thoughts and prayers,
and could you please ask him to keep a Journal?
It would be a very valuable thing for many of us.
Not neccessarily just a log book of events but also how emotions played on
him and the decisions he made.

Thanks.
TLM

EDIT: I see you posted above while I was typing my post.

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

Scurrilous rumour! Duck's a 100 miles ahead of FEMA or the National Guard in his own area. Blueice just forgot to add 'SARCASM'

'Cat-rina' , Duck's cat, sends him a hiss, for the omission I am sure!:wink:

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

He has talked a lot, and I will keep notes.

The Duck is dyslexic, why he writes like he does, he keeps the notes in his head. He is very clear thinking and logical to talk to, he also has a lot of technical ability and knowledge.

Re emotions he said that in part it was great not to have the day to day distractions, the net, the phone, the TV. He said it gave him a lot of time to contemplate and meditate and think up new solutions to some of his equipment failures. He has made some impro's, he said some worked, some did not, but without this test he would not have had to think and resort to them.

He said, in true Duck fashion, that 'OH NO, THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING!!!' is not a good approach to all this. He has been trying to talk a few neighbours out of this mindset. He says he is thinking 'Oh YES it is happening, but don't panic, look on the bright side, what can we do?' He said, yes, it is hard work, but he is OK, and trying to just float with the stream and take the bends as they come.

He is still saying it is an adventure, and he sees his mistakes, re gear, but is not moaning.

He is a great Duck. We can all learn from him.

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

QWAK: Abouthadit, I love and dearly miss Slim Pickens...Funny and a great actor...:applause_ :applause_

QWAK: Maxine, can we get a duckorater to him, so he would have enough power to quack to his flock...:tongue_ma:

BTW, you need to use more smilies in your posts....:bear_thumb:

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

Hey Blueice,

Yes, sorry, I can be rather a gloomy old Goose, and should learn from the Duck to use more smilies.:15_1_70v:

By the way a friend of mine on here, and elsewhere, I know her other than GIM, emailed me and said how do we post photos? I think she meant of cats. She had been looking at the cat thread. She has some very lovely kittens to post.

So could you tell us on the 'Cool cat of the Day' thread, in explicit detail for internet impaired bird brains, (my friend is Raven Dancer - I am also an internet impaired bird brain.) how we do this?

That is a great thread! The cats are VERY cool!

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

Glad he is OK......duck is good peeps

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

QUAK: Maxine, you would put me on the spot...:favorites21: :realmad: :embarasse

To be honest, using my own bird brain, which BTW is a bad rap, I use a scanner to which I load to the desk top and then apply the attachment feature...

The other way is to up load the picture to a file storage place such as the following: http://imageshack.us/

If you use a digital form you can place those images on a flash drive and then insert it into a USB to load the pictures to your computer..

Say hello from Blueice for me, oh wait just say Blue....

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

Thank you for the update Maxine!

It's good to know the good Duck is still afloat and hasn't lost too many feathers. It sounds like his neighbors are lucky to have him, too.

The Duck is passing on experiences that we can all take away and use to better prepare, but there is also a big lesson about the importance of a positive attitude under tough circumstances.

Here's wishing you all the best, Duck!

:coolbeer:

:shine:

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

Oh!:biggrin:

Well that info is a LOT of help!:biggrin: To us dummies!

Sorry!

Love that big brown tabby moggie with the nice nose on there. Are you his? I need to look again, to see who he owns. The one that has a mark on his nose that looks like he just took his glasses off. I wanted to post my Bruno, he looks like he could be a brother to that cat, though he is more fawn in shade.

Use more smilies:15_1_70v:

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

he he he.... I'm hip..... shoulda used the sarcasm thingy too.

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

The Duck will learn from it - it's like a mini SHTF. Testing his preps, testing his equipment, testing his knowledge, testing himself. He'll come out the other end even better prepared!

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

So, the story of him running away with a well made decoy are untrue?

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

He, he, he!

Should not have called the Duck Egg this morning? . . . A jinx? I am sitting now with a tea towel on my head after digging out some of the mess. (Change from tin foil - a tea towel. Very modest!:biggrin:) The freezing rain and gales have started on top of the foot of snow here.

Oh, well, par for the course in Nova Scotia! It can never decide up here if it wants to snow or rain or do both at once.

Yippee! Maybe we are next? Maybe I get to test my gear too!:452: :thumb.aspx:

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

Good luck Duck! Hope all is well!

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

Let me give this a shot Maxime and see if I can clear this up for you.

There are two ways to post images. The first is to have a account at "image shack" or "photobucket". If you do you can upload images to your account thae you can include them in your post using the BB Code.

Example:

{IMG}http://www.LinkToYourImageAccount/yourphoto.jpg{/IMG}
Be sure to replace the { } brackets above with the [ ] brackets.

That will get you something like this:

http://www.the3006cafe.org/stuff/BunnyBucks.jpg

The other way is to attatch them to the post. After you hit "Reply" you type your message, then scroll down a bit till you see this area.

http://www.the3006cafe.org/stuff/howto1.jpg

Click on "manage attatchments".

A pop up will open that looks like the following.

http://www.the3006cafe.org/stuff/howto2.jpg

Click "Browse" to find the photo on your hard drive. You can add 7 attatchments, just click "Browse" on the right side to find them.

Hope this helps you and any others on How To add photos.

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

It's the way you tell 'em! :ARMS1:


And good luck to him, not that he needs it. God helps those who help themselves.

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

ditto. thanks maxine!

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

His posts drive me crazy but it's good to hear he's doing fine considdering his situation!

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

QWAK, I'm sure there's nothing to worry about, he just flew south for the winter. :biggrin:

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

I've seen a few people bust on the Duck for his unique musings, but they fail to look past the delivery. There's a lot of wisdom in his posts, and they're always positive and uplifting.

I didn't know the Duck Pond got hit so hard, but I'm glad to hear he's weathering the storm okay. Looking forward to reading about his exploits. :ok:

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

GOLD DUCK is simply the best poster GIM has.
There are more technical, more fanatical, and maybe, just maybe, more amusing but none more insightful and honest.

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word? He's Alive QWAK.
 

:haha::haha::haha::haha:


QWAK: He will be featured in next month edition of Ducks USA, under the title of Ducking the Ice and Fowl Weather...

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

:36_1_63:
Another day..hoping the Duck shows up today..

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

Hope the main QWAK gets back soon.

Three things I can think of that I'm short on in a power outage, that a long term thing like the DUCK is going through right now are:
1. A hand pump on a good well.
2. A wood heat stove that would double as a cook stove.
3. An outhouse.

With properly preserved food stores people would not need the electric company near as much as they do. Of course most towns and cities would not allow any of those. So, those folks would have to improvise. If the grid were to go down and stay, we'd all need to change or die.

The DUCK would find a way!

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

DUCK ya sure are missed!!!

Dan. Those are really essentials. If nothing else till you outfit yourself with a well, catch rain water.

I have two wells. One has a high salt content hence we had a deeper one put in. I do have a hand pump (plus a spare) for the wells. I figure that I can use the salty well for flushing the toilets with, eliminating the need for a outhouse. Plus I always have rain water here, well except for now when we are in the dry season.

So much to think of. Glad I started years ago.

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

Toilets don't flush too well when the pipes are broken and/or the sewage is backed up.

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

mayhem, I have the hand pump and actually had it installed on a well where we used to live, but have not installed it at our new location. A bit of work is in store to do that. Actually, I'd like another well just dedicated to the hand pump. As for the outhouse.... county says no to those, but they can't make you remove one if it's there. As for a wood/cook stove, there are other ways to deal with that, but for now the LP gas kitchen stove would last quite a long time. So, at least some of the bases are covered to some extent. City folks with a nat gas cook stove and stored drinking water would do fine if their water main still worked. (PS. I would not drink the water:wink:) The DUCK seems equipped with exceptional intelligence and should do well and even thrive to some extent. Lots of time to look at the spiritual angle of life.:15_1_70v:

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

Tis true....but for me I have a septic tank.

Left the state dependent water/sewer system long ago.

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

I will take a look at your cat, Blueice, I think I noticed him. :bear_thumb:It takes me a long time with dial up to look at all the lovely cats on there. I can assure you that I am not in a position to comment on anyone's baldness, with the rate my hair has been falling out since I got Hypothyroidism I might end up looking like Mrs Kojack before I am finished:452:

Thanks very much for the very detailed advice Alter Ego.:15_1_70v: I will attempt to follow it and post my cats :adore:to the world. (But not today, we are pretty much snowed up here and I also have a bad hangover!:coolbeer: I valuely remember giving someone on here some very bad advice about a truck last night, while in my cups. :signs14:I only hope he doesn't follow it.)

Edit: My father send me a photo of the 'snow' that is causing so much bother in the UK. Snow? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

Thanks for the Duck update. Sounds like the Duck all right, checking on neighbors.

I'm surprised he has not found a way to let the weather keep his frozen food frozen.

On urban outhouses -- there is an item made for families with dogs to do sanitary dog poop disposal called a doggie doolie. It comes with digestive enzymes and is kind of a mini septic tank for solid excrement. Having a dog, I put one in, and having an invalid's bedside pottie from caring for an elderly relative, I figure in an emergency we would use that combo. You can get toilet seats that snap on 5 gallon buckets too for an inexpensive pottie chair. Of course, you have to have at least a little yard for that to work. About a square foot. In an apartment I guess residents would need to agree on a trench latrine in the joint grassy area. But I would prefer to have an indoor toilet no matter where the result ends up.

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

ky declared major disaster- gov. term $$$. & some areas will be w/o electric up to 6 wks.
0 degrees last night in places; but weather breaks & 50's + next week.
still a few in cities w/o power; but major current outages are rural.

what most don't realize is ky. had it's worst outages ever in sept. 08; now this is the worst.

lotsa practice!

the ice/snow[it is still all around] is tiring when u are not used to it even w/ electricity; so i bet duck is having to get his second wind! Good luck to him!

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

I think it's really cool that you guys noticed he was missing, and made a post about him...

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

Fuuny how that works, and then we learn today the food FEMA gave out in that area was part of the peanut butter recall.

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

AM. The trouble the Duck was having with his food was a couple of days ago the temperature went way up, into the 60's I think he said. Though it was forecast to g cold again. He managed to save some of it at the bottom of the freezer that was still solid by putting it in a neighbour's freezer - but it remains to be seen how long the neighbour's generator lasts either. It sounded a bit iffy.

I saw those doggie things on another site the other day. Do you recommend it, does it work well?

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

We bought the multi dog size for 1 dog and use the enzymes, but that said, yes. How it would handle two more mammals' waste remains to be seen. But I hope we don't have to trench.

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

Is this some kind of cryptic tag to alert TPTB about something, or what?

:36_1_30: :36_1_28:

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

Slight Duck update.:shine:

I have got about a page of notes here, and will try to give a better update tomorrow.

He is still without power. I did relay to him personal best wishes, etc, from Keef and Avalon. I mentioned some of the rest of you too. He thinks it is very funny that there is a 'MIA' thread going about him, and says that he just is where he is. Just also was trying to fill him in on what he is missing on here, in terms of threads.

He is very amused by the misconception that Keef's post had caused on here that he has a St Bernard with a barrel round its neck. And says he has a mixed breed elderly mutt called 'Little Trouble'.

He said to tell you all that he is OK. That he will be quite glad to get 'back to normal' but that he is OK.

He said that he will know by Sunday night whether or not he will be back on power over the weekend or one of the 5% on his area, who could be looking at a further week and a half to two weeks.

Anyway - the Duck lives!:553:

He said a lot more that I will try to organize and relay tomorrow.

Good luck, Duck Egg, GIM loves you!:23_1_22::553:

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

Thanks for the update Maxine, it's good to know the Duck is still afloat. :yes:


:shine:

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

What immanti said. :yes:

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

Good news, thanks, Maxine. It'll be cool for him to return to this now quasi-epic thread from his absence.

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

Yes indeed, he is having a good laugh about it all, a thread in his honour:yes:.

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

Thanks Maxine for the update, glad Duck is fairing ok.

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

The Duck mentioned this on the phone last night. He said that FEMA had turned up in the town nearest to him with 2 semi trailers full of MREs and then did not hand them out due to the container of peanut butter in them being part of the recall. He also said FEMA did not hand out any water.

These guys sound like real heros:sarc:

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

QWAK: Ms Maxine, thanks for the news!! I hope he is still well supplied with duck tape....:10_1_20:

I am sure we will have a report of his troubles....I called Mr Blitzer, at the Situation Room and he told me that a reporter has been dispatch...

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

Well, he is not as afloat as he would like to be :bath: being left without a Pond since his inverter did not work. He mentioned that his back was starting to get a bit achy as he has not been able to soak as he normally does.

I forgot to mention yesterday that he said that the main power line that serves his area is damaged and so far the crews have not been able to get to it as it is in a very muddy/boggy spot.

Psychologically he said by the 9/10 day mark he was starting to feel a bit isolated and to suffer from GIM withdrawal. :bear_cry:(He has probably done a lot better than TA would do in such a case, who would likely get the onset of that at more like the 10 hour mark.:biggrin:)

He did mention this which is rather amusing. One of his neighbours caught a what Duck calls 'Razorback Hog' piglet in a live trap. What in Europe is known as a Wild Boar. This piglet is now under the impression that it is a puppy. It is living in the house, it is following one of the kids upstairs at night and sleeping on his bed:biggrin:. Well, that is going to be a bit of a difficult trait to break, I would think, when this thing gets to weigh 2 or 3 hundred pounds. :4_8_4v:Ha, ha, ha!

It sounds like Duck's neighbour has just about out done Avalon in the nutty pet department.:tongue_ma:

Well, I hope they get Duck back on line soon :shine: But I am afraid it sounds like he could be out for a while yet.

It is a good thing he was well prepared, even though he had so many things go wrong. He still seems to be basically doing OK. He said it has been a really good test and he has been making long 'to do' and 'to get' lists.

He said an awful lot else, but they are really 'human interest' stories that should be told in Duck's own style.:shine::4_1_72:

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

Looks like it. FEMA have been trying to deliver bad peanut butter to the area and kill him off.:452::36_1_25:

But Ducks ain't dumb enough to take the bait!:ok: QWAK!

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

Bump, as he's back. :shine: :biggrin::shine:

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

And now he is going to be REALLY confused with TWO threads.:shine:

I do not think he really believed there was a :MIA: thread out for him.:shine::yes::111:

Hey Duck Egg you have quite a following. :bath:

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

Because he's worth it? :shine:

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

Yep. But he is a typical - or near typical - Drake, he is yapping on the other thread about the techs of it all, and has not yet noticed this thread. About us all missing him so much.:wink:

:yes:

But he has got a lot to catch up on, on here.

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

I cannot stop cackling to myself about
:4_1_72:

him and the dog deciding not to eat all the snakes.

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

Snakes? I understand there was a snake eating period in the Duck's and his dog's life.

It is now STEAKS!!! Steaks as spelt on the other thread!

Not to imply that he has gone Yuppie, I hardly think so! He has been a very good friend to his neighbours. We would all be lucky if we lived near a Duck.

:shine:

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

Are you saying he and the dog ate frozen rattlesteaks? :confused_ma:

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

QWAK,argentos,Yep about 15 years ago :yes: You do what you got to DO to "GET ER DONE":wink: and keep going!:yes::s1:

Found out years later -- should have BREADED and FRIED them snakes -- then they taist just like CHICKEN:yes::111:

The way I tried to cook them -- in a pressure cooker on top the wood stove -- they both TAISTED and ate like RUBBER BANDS with BONES! Even Lonsome Girl gave up on them and SHE used to eat BOX TURTLES!:yes::111::4_1_72::shine:

BTW:I turned that RATTLE SNAKE skin in to my HAT BAND,dried and mounted its head with open mouth and FANGS in front of my hat! Got a Red tail HAWK feather and a tiney GOLD "virgen Mary"statue from my Mom stitched in to the snake skin looking out over the snake head but can't see it in less you look real close. LOL

the DUCK

Re: Gold Duck MIA for 5 days--any word?
 

QWAK,Max,You'r right I was suprised and now a little confused by the two sort of parale threads :yes::36_1_25::111::4_1_72:

Just another ADVENTURE for ME -- I have always had a rather strange EXISTENCE so in a way ---- this is MY NORMAL!:confused_ma::111::4_1_72::shine:

Hopfully the DUCK POND will be up to 105 by morning and I can have a nice long a SOLK and a PONDER -- not to mention --- after 14 days:hahaha::yes: I'm geting a bit FUNKEY!:yes::111::4_1_72:

QWAK,Thank you ALL for the KIND WORDS and CONCERNS for my WELL FARE!:embarasse You embarass me :wink:

I'm just being ME and deciding for MY SELF what I believe to be TRUE -- coming to my OWN CONCLUSIONS and writing my own DEFINITIONS and as long as I don't HURT or HARM others and HELP as many as I can along the way -- I just figure :thinkey:I am doing OK!:yes:

Aint NO big THING,just being ME and SHARING the EXPERIENCE with any who chose to SHARE with me. :yes:

Makes me feel GOOD (GOD) to SHARE -- can't take NONE of this with me when I go and it would be NICE to leave somthing SPECIAL behind when I am GONE from this level of REALITY.

IF "IT" is better and NOT worse because I have been HERE (LIFE) then what ever CRAZY ADVENTURE I may have lived will have been a SUCCESSFULL ONE.:yes::shine: that's just how I chose to PERCIEVE "IT" you can accept or reject the NOTION -- you got FREE WILL and free choice:yes: -- THAT is what THIS LEVEL is realy ALL about -- the BEST I can figure -- after LOTS and lots of PONDERING!:thinkey::yes::shine:

Agen -- THANK you ALL :36_3_13:

Wish I could invite you ALL to the DUCK NEST to BBQ all them steaks that thawed in my freezer -- would be GREAT to have a GIM "WOODSTOCK" here every body camping and sharing and HELPING each other feel HAPPY and GOOD (GOD) inside them!:shine:

Welcome back Duck.
I'm glad, the Ice, the cold and the FEMA Peanut Butter didn't kill you!!!

How's the Pond, Duck, have you got it back up to temperature yet?

I wish we could all go to the Duck Nest for a BBQ too!

It is a shame your neighbours didn't seem like they wanted to join in, your idea sounded like it would have been fun.:553:
