Oh, oh... 26549. Ms. No - 9/15/2011 3:58:11 AM I can't beleive I forgot? It was sort of eclipsed by the other anniversay. 26550. iiibbb - 9/21/2011 3:06:42 PM Arky-- we got the propane generator and I tried it out. I'm pretty happy with it, but I won't be able to tell you more until the next disaster. I have a feeling it's going to be pretty easy to operate, and I like the fact that there won't be any to get old in the carburetor. I think all I have to do is change the oil and run it every so often. 26551. arkymalarky - 9/21/2011 11:20:59 PM thanks! bob wants to get one that runs off the tractor, but i think propane is a better idea. he really doesn't want to get one at all and has been dragging his feet for the last 30 years. ;/ 26552. iiibbb - 9/22/2011 2:21:06 AM Seems like a no-brainer if you have propane at the house already. 26553. iiibbb - 9/22/2011 2:21:42 AM Assuming you even want/need one. I'm ambivalent, but it could come in handy one more week in my life. 26554. iiibbb - 9/22/2011 2:21:43 AM Assuming you even want/need one. I'm ambivalent, but it could come in handy one more week in my life. 26555. arkymalarky - 9/22/2011 3:27:25 AM i think he'd go for it, depending on the price. 26556. judithathome - 9/22/2011 10:20:07 PM Jeez, I have no idea what you guys are talking about. 26557. arkymalarky - 9/22/2011 11:24:58 PM generators for when the power goes out. 26558. judithathome - 9/22/2011 11:54:38 PM Well...when our power goes out, we just leave the house and drive until we find some place with lights on...or give in and go to bed. 26559. iiibbb - 9/23/2011 12:38:19 AM Judith... the power was out for a couple of days for Irene, and for 7 days for our neighbors 2 doors down.
When I lived down south we'd have the power go out for a few days after winter ice storms or hurricanes.
We got it because we figured out the contents of our chest freezer was worth the cost of a generator.
26560. arkymalarky - 9/23/2011 3:24:14 AM and having water when you use a well is priceless after a few hours, much less days 26561. iiibbb - 9/27/2011 3:19:10 PM I'd think you could get a battery backup for your well to cover a few hours. 26562. arkymalarky - 9/27/2011 4:09:01 PM Hmm. Never heard of that. 26563. iiibbb - 9/27/2011 4:38:38 PM Neither have I, but it seems like it should be possible. 26564. iiibbb - 9/27/2011 5:07:09 PM Well.. there are for sump pumps, but I guess there is too much head to draw for a well for it to work... or at least make an cost-effective, efficient system. 26565. judithathome - 11/2/2011 3:56:15 PM Let's get at least one thread in the current month.... 26566. Ms. No - 11/3/2011 3:16:20 AM At least it's only the 2nd and not like, the day before Thanksgiving or something.
I mean to come in and post, but the last few months have been so icky that I don't want to just come rant and whine.
On an awesome note, my brother's in town tonight. I have no idea where we're going to eat, but mostly I'm just thrilled to see him and catch up.
It's been super windy but not all that cool. Allergies are insane. Whee! 26567. arkymalarky - 11/3/2011 3:40:27 AM Rant any time! My life is so (thankfully) routine right now I don't have much to post about.
