 NB>> very willing to show their appreciation for the work done by the
 NB>> visiting work crews

 MK> As well as the local crews.  Speaking for myself, I showed no bias as
 MK> to where the crew was from that worked on our particular stretch of
 MK> line. 

True... one would just be grateful to any crew that was restoring the
power.... :)

 NB>> have to keep your eyes open for the new stock to arrive, I guess

 MK> At the time they were sold out of future stock.  One place claimed
 MK> that their next order was due in late Febuary.  :-/ 

Sounds crazy, but I have no trouble at all believing it.... Widespread
outage, and suddenly everybody and his brother needs it yesterday... and
it doesn't take long before the suppliers are out of stock as well...

 NB>> You might get a better price waiting until summer

 MK> That is what I am hoping for but I don't think they go on sale all
 MK> that often. Maybe if they are clearing out stock for newer models? 
 MK> We'll see ... as if we have a choice. 

I was more thinking that there wouldn't be any inflated prices when the
need wasn't so critical... but yes, there might be some sort of sale if
there were new models coming in.... Probably would depend on how high
the demand was still, come summer...  :)

 MK> Speaking of Raspberry Pi's, note this message is from the upgraded
 MK> aarch64-raspi3b+-linux-gnu.  I finished it earlier today.  Seems to be
 MK> working and is definetly an improvement from the previous build. 

Yes, I do note that...  :)

... Reality is the leading cause of stress amongst those in touch with it.
