Thanks Lindy

But, this isn’t my first dance with this stuff, most likely won’t be my last.

Warm, yes, water, bottled, I’m sorta funky, but not too bad.

The comment I made about old gensets? Tried connecting to an ancient, cranky, Voltage-loosely-regulated, unit.

Mnf circa 1968 or so. Like anything made back then it’s damn near indestructible, 12HP Briggs & Stratton Industrial engine (the kind that will run damn near forever, then throw a set of rings and valves at it, for another run at forever.)

The generator is heavily overbuilt. Think “Tank”.

Has 9.5 gallon fuel tank, fill it up and it’ll go about 24 - 30 hours, give or take. Add a quart of oil with each fill-up.

Runs less delicate equipment just fine, including a freezer and fridge.

Modern TV’s and Computers aren’t too fond of it. If I had a VR UPS, wouldn’t be a problem.

At least this won't wipe me out like it did a lot of people in 2001. Hurt, yes, but not too bad, long run.

Fair number of farmers and ranchers hearabouts ended up in bankruptcy, or selling out.

Including Slick.
