Problem is I would need a couple, one for freezer, and one capable of running AC and lights in my room, 1500W...We are looking at 101, and 100 Mon and Tues, so I guess we just sit and sweat. They say they need to inspect every line before turning power back on, and it takes days. The power in my neighborhood is all underground, which makes it even more stupid.

These Harbor freight genny's work great, buy the 2 year warranty and you can run the hell out of it. 9000watt will run everything you need, not bad insurance for $700....
we use them to run greenhouse lights on the farm, 1gl of gas will get you 4hrs of run time. one of the crew will pour in 1 gl of gas into each gen and start them up around dusk, so they have an automatic timer to shut off the lights too.:wink:

The crew got a wild hair and took down the strip of trees between my greenhouses. They want to run a few outdoor full sun plants. I told them that if they took down the trees I would buy the soil and pots, now i Gotta buy a few yards of soil and more smart pots. Those boys are work-a-haulics. I just keep buying supplies.....

From PG&E:
A Public Safety Power Shutoff could last for several days. If you have special needs that require electricity, we ask that you have an emergency plan in place. Be ready to act if you are notified by PG&E that a shutoff is imminent. Keep emergency phone numbers handy and plan for a backup location you can relocate to, if necessary. Check with local authorities regarding available resources.

We do not reimburse customers for losses, as power will be shut off for safety due to extreme fire conditions. Customers will not be charged for electricity usage during the time power is off because no power is being consumed. All customers should have an emergency plan and be prepared for any extended outages. Since a public Safety Power Shutoff could last for several days, we encourage you to plan accordingly. Be aware that:

  • Fully stocked freezers usually keep food frozen for two days after losing power (if not repeatedly opened).
  • Half-full freezers usually keep food frozen for about one day (if not repeatedly opened).
  • Refrigerators usually keep food cold for up to four hours if the door remains unopened.

I do wonder where all the money goes. Electric rates, gas taxes, school taxes etc... rates are through the roof, but our electrical infrastructure, roadways, schools are in abysmal shape? Where the fuck does all that money go?

I kept my freezer going for over a week with 1-2 bags of ice a day. I ate real good the first few days after the hurricane. Just plan out the number of times you are going to open it. Keep stuff you will be using often in an ice chest.

Every day I get more discouraged by the fact large corporations get to do as they please and pass the buck on to the consumer, all while raking in profits. What happened to lynch mobs stringing these pieces of shit up downtown as an example? Instead, we let crooked politicians come to deals that primarily benefit them and the offending corporations, while not addressing the infractions. And what really bothers me is this is what most people have come to expect from our political system, so they accept it. Fuck this system. :finger:

I found 2 ticks in my kitchen while I was making breakfast. I haven't done anything outside in 2 days, so they must've crawled their parasitic bitch assess in. I put them on the electric stove coil and turned it up...... slowly...until they popped. :fire:Fuckers.

I pulled one out of my hair at home after coming in from the camp Monday morning. Then another one that day at work. Also saw one when I was getting undressed at the camp on Wednesday night. I use my clothes as a pillow, and he was on the cot after I shook out my hiking clothes. So far this spring I haven't had one attached. Least not that I know of.

I flushed one of these down the toilet, and smashed the other two with my foot.

Ever notice that the gov't actually profits (via large fines, etc) from malfeasance and victims receive little to none; in effect the costs are passed back onto the victims/non-involved taxpayers? Of course you have
