In spite of my telling myself that a bargain just
isn't a bargain, if you don't need it, I almost bought a 10 kw generator head,
w/o motor at harbor freight today. Really looked nice. Probably could hook
a one lung mazda or something like that to it; or, just any old little car
engine. It said it needed at least 16 or 20 h/p to run it. Needless to say, it
was the only generator type thing they had. What made me think about it was that
there were people up from the gulf, all the way here to Chattanooga, hunting
generators. Apparently every place between here and there is out, including
here. The fellow asking bought two 1200 w inverters and said he was just going
to put them on his car and at least keep the freezer and refrigerator working.
Northern tools had a 3kw inverter but wanted about as much as a generac would
cost.

Do whatever you can to make the building wind
tight.
The power company is saying that it will be 3 weeks before
they'll get everyone's power back on after Ivan. I sure hope I'm closer
to the 3 day time, rather than 3 weeks. Fortunately, our huge
subdivision has all underground electrical service, so once they get the main
line back on, we should be good to go. If I had a good excuse to own a
generator like Ed has, I'd have one.
