First Power Outage...
....of the winter season. Not snowing, not raining, not sleeting, not
even very cold. Off now for 23 minutes. Maybe someone hit a power pole on the main drag... Generator kicked on. -- Let’s elect a gay black woman with a latino lover president, if only for the possibility of provoking a right-wing mass suicide. |

Well, its nice that you have the generator as a backup. I use my Honda EU2000i whenever my power goes out. It will run what I need to keep running. Living in a condo so no way to put up a permanent generator. If I ever get another house I will get a fixed permanent generator. That will be my next generator, even though I live in a house. I may go for the 'sister' also. Then I could put the trailer in the drive and have enough power to live for months if need be. -- Here's hoping you have a very Merry Christmas, and a spectacular New Year! |

Well Don, that's an idea too, but the thread was about power outages. I can understand how you could be a bit confused. -- Here's hoping you have a very Merry Christmas, and a spectacular New Year! |

We were running on a small Honda generator for 10 days after hurricane Charlie in 2004, sharing power with a neighbor. He and I were taking turns driving 40 miles round trip every night to find gas stations that could still pump fuel. A large underground propane tank is probably the best bet for most homeowners. |

You're right, of course. We've been very lucky here, and I thank my lucky stars for Dominion Power. We've been here close to 25 years and I don't think our power has ever been out for more than 4-6 hours. And that happened only when an underground (in my front yard) transformer blew. I thought it was a 105mm round going off. -- Here's hoping you have a very Merry Christmas, and a spectacular New Year! |

That trailer would be cheaper than sending him to an "Assisted Living Center" for Alzheimer's patients, which is where he belongs. -- Let’s elect a gay black woman with a latino lover president, if only for the possibility of provoking a right-wing mass suicide. |
