This is further compounded by the problems of storing ethanol gas for any length of time. After hurricane Charlie here in SW Florida my neighbor and I took turns driving 50 miles round trip every night for over a week to buy generator gas. I just found a web site selling propane and natural gas conversion kits for small gasoline generators if anyone is interested. I have no personal interest (or experience) with their products. http://www.propane-generators.com/ Cool! I'd never thought about that, but it makes good sense for the little Generac I use with the camper. Then I wouldn't have to carry three fuels, diesel, propane, and gasoline. Will definitely look into that. Propane is only attractive if you have a bulk tank in the yard. Those 20 and 30 pound tanks are pretty expensive to fill. The perfect system is natural gas if you can get it. Well, I'm already carrying four 20lb tanks on the fiver, Not having to carry gasoline may make it worthwhile. The tanks run me $17 or so to fill. Don't know how long one of those would last on the generator. But, we'd be using it only when roughing it somewhere, like on the side of a rode while riding to Alaska. You can play the guitar while Mrs. H. drives the 4500 miles to Alaska, burning what, about 350 gallons of diesel each way. And with that new .45ACP, you can shoot at the attacking bears. Not likely to stop them, though. About 80 hours of driving each way. Joy. It's a joy if you want to say hello to Tim, see the Badlands of North Dakota, visit Mt Rushmore, spend a week or two in Yellowstone and Grand Teton, not to mention Glacier National Parks, watch the bears and moose alongside the road and see how beautiful this country you despise really is. There, you finally got noticed. Feel better? WATOABH We've seen the badlands, mt. rushmore, big horn county, and yellowstone, but I wouldn't claim that seeing many of the sights just once is sufficient. We have a conference coming up in the middle of 2013 in Seattle. We've been talking about flying to Anchorage after the conference and spending a couple of weeks in Alaska. Don't like driving for days and days, don't like sleeping in an RV. To each his own. Well, then you'll have a great time looking out of your hotel window in Anchorage. Typically when we travel, all we do in the hotel is take a shower before bed, sleep, take another shower in the morning and then do whatever it is we're planning to do that do. Perhaps when you have a wife or girlfriend or rediscover your wife and children, you'll do that, too. You plan on rediscovering your wife? Good for you. Oh, by the way, which one? |

Probably why your wife locks herself in the bathroom. -- I'm a liberal because the militant fundamentalist ignorant science-denying religious xenophobic corporate oligarchy of modern Republican conservatism just doesn't work for me or my country. |
