The generator burns 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 "gallons" of propane an hour,

Yikes. I was complaining about 0.8 GPH. If you are happy burning 36
gallons a day and up, I will STFU. What do you pay for propane? It
seems to be $2-4 a gallon here depending on some mysterious formula.
A 250 gallon tank (really 200) is only going to last 5 days at the low
end of usage and you could burn it in 3 days if you actually used that
17KVA
Yikes!
So much for the whole house generator for me. Mine did run my wholeprofessional
house minus the AC, dryer and water heater and I have a plan for the
water heater. With a pool, the AC is not important during the day and w
at night my generator runs the mini split in the bedroom just fine.

The last time I looked, some months ago, it was about $2.59 a gallon.
Our "outages" usually last only a few hours, sometimes overnight, and
of personal comfort
typically we only get one every few months. We
got the generator after a
big outage that lasted a week. Our yippy-dippy local electrical co-op
seems to have gotten better over the years. Or the storms have gotten
smaller. If we had a four day outage, it would cost about $250 in fuel,
less than we'd spend on a decent local motel, assuming we could find one
that had power.

You'd move into a motel because of a four day power outage if you didn't
have your generator?

Why?

For starters, my wife wears suits and other professional outfits to work
and when she sees patients, and, like me likes to bathe at least once a
day. Then there is the matter of having water to flush the toilet. Then
there is the matter when it is too hot outside. And so forth.

Wuss.

Iâ€™m sure with the bozos you encounter in your daily rounds, it doesnâ€™t
matter if you stink.

You and your wife stink if you miss a daily bath? Gross.

We were discussing a four day outage, remember? Duh.

You're a progressive liberal who believes in science, correct?
Here's some science for you:

Funny. My dermatologist, the first time I saw him a few years back, asked how often I showered.
"Almost every day," I said. He said cut back to about every three days. All that showering was bad
for the skin. Works for me, unless I've been walking a golf course that day.

I am the same way. When I was working I showered every morning and
sometimes again in the evening. Now that I am retired I'll shower in
the evening if I've been physically active with some project during the
day. Otherwise, I am on a every other morning shower routine. Nobody
has complained that I stink. :-)
