Did Everyone Survive the Blackout?

Hope you all survived the Great TRF Blackout of '21! Did anyone become more productive over the last few hours? Complete projects you've been putting off?

Too bad there’s no way to calculate how much money everyone here saved by not looking at watches all that time.

I will say it here also. Nice job, Steve! You had mentioned the old server was filling up. Should have lots of headroom now.

It was brutal. Makes you appreciate that our unique passion really thrives because of this community. Because I don't know really anyone personally that is into this hobby like me

Any clues, anyone?
