Hurricane Irene

Dan_ed, What is the source for power? Diesel?

How do you keep fuel from going stale or is it natural gas powered?

Our country has been through a lot in the last few years, I kept hoping for a break, that Irene would blow out into the ocean and do no harm.

I watched the news and weather a lot today. I can only say my heart is with the folks and property in harms way and hope it's not as bad as it looks on TV.

That makes sense, there would not be the issue of stale gasoline or Diesel.

Natural gas would be great for generator, I've never seen gas shut off unless they were working on our hot water heater.

I don't suppose it would be cheaper to generate your own power with gas as opposed to buying from the utility.

A gallon or so of water in the basement last night but I found the problem & fixed it so we are all set here.

Did you feel like a Swampwalker?

And the speedo was ready for its annual washing after the summer ;~) Now all is well, power back and the speedo dried off, so I am GOOD TO GO!

There must be a web site where those words are cherished but I don't think Audiogon is it :^).

Swamp,
I had forgotten about that. Thanks for posting it again, we seem short on humor at Audiogon these days.

There was a time when several of us had foolish posts like that, all going on at the same time. Teasing is good thing among friends and people with similar interest, it keeps the "serious" things in perspective.
