Yes, location Gordon Head north of UVic....

At one time our power was less reliable (failures/sags due to tree
branches on the line)... however for the last (quite a few) years, very
few incidents other than major storms... ( we used to be on the end of
a branch circuit, now we are in the middle of one somewhere....)

 I've only been on battery once
since March 22, that was May 5 for 4 seconds.... (Mar 22 was when I
upgraded my system, I could check the log on the old machine.... but
it's very infrequent here...)
