I took it as a temporary outage, a day for example. That's how it seemed to me anyway based on what he said he'd do in such a situation.

In this scenario where it's 24 hours no electric and I don't have a generator. I think I would focus on cleaning out the garage, and getting more boxes moved to storage. Work on the yard a bit. It would be nice to not be distracted by electronics for a day.

Yeah that was one of my mentioned possibilities too. If I had cleaning and such to get done that I had been putting off, I'd utilize that downtime to knock it out.

I need to unplug more often, as I think of this scenario it kinda makes me hope it happens lol.

Take a nap until it came back on

I'd probably just chill with my dog until it came back lol.
Not much else to really do.

My electricity is being cut in a few hours for maintenance. I guess we will find out

In my area, it's common not to have power during bad weather etc, and every time I make the realization of how important electricity is and how we take it for granted. During a crisis/war, if a blackout happens, we're all cooked xD

Go hunting/shooting because what else am I going to do?

Sounds like a fun way to pass the time.

This is a tough one. Build something, like a tree house

I’ll play ball with the kids, build things with them, and come up with ideas for fun activities we can enjoy together.

Whenever I lose power I tend to just go for a walk or be able to clean up the house a bit more and do the chores that I probably should have had done already but pushed to the side.
If we are talking long term, I would probably become much better at soldering since I find it relaxing and also requires some skill.
