I think I've talked myself out of it though. With care, I would never use
it. If the need did arise, I could pick up the cheapest car battery I could
find for a fraction of the price and lug it out there more convieniently and
easily than the generator. It would be a fraction the price and wouldn't
upset the neighbors on shore so much. In the meantime, it will be sitting
on a store shelf somewhere waiting for me rather than taking up space in the
garage and having its gas go stale.

In a pinch, I could even borrow the battery from the car.
