Geah! Had the generator hooked up last night for some tv and light action, hooked up the fridge, today went and got another three pronged extension cord and got the computer up and running! Aint so bad w/o power if ya have something to do! Of course it’s loud as hell and probably pissing off the neighbors (we did hook up our one neighbor so they could run their fridge and tv and stuff too so fvck the rest of them!) Hope everyone is safe and dry!!! ---

Out in the country we couldn’t live thru storm season without a generator. The worst thing is we have well water, and of course the pump is electric. ![http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com/catalog/images/20216A_400.jpg](http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com/catalog/images/20216A_400.jpg) Been meaning to buy one of these transfer switches for years. It wires right into your breaker panel, and you connect it with a twist lok extension cord to the generator when you need it. ---

It’s been a blessing to have the generator.

They live in VA and they lost power last year for 8 days. Hardwired into the house, run off natural gas, automatic switch over when power is out. ---
