A piece of duct tape would solve the problem. ;-)
And I have stacks of duct tape. When power is first off, one has trouble mentally moving from power mode thinking to no power mode thinking. It was automatic to push scraps in disposal but then reality hit me and I had to get it out.
I made another mistake. I had running water and a local paper was delivered evey day giving the status of water. I should have used my stored water instead of the running water because it could have gone bad and I wouldn’t know it until the next day when I got the paper. I won’t make that mistake again.
I can have running water when I don’t have running water. I use camp showers and put water in there and heat it in the sun and hang it by the kitchen sink and have running hot water. I have those for showers, too.
