You gotta see it to grasp it.

Ah been down the 75 a few times to Canton and South Rockwood, beautiful country through there. Always wanted to get down around there and do some salmon fishin' in Lake Michigan when it was hot in the late 90's early 2000's. Never got to.

Out your way?

Out your way?

Yes, luckily my house has power but i have friends and coworkers who are still out. I have 2 of my generators loaned out, i suspect they will return with a couple hundred more hours on them.

Go forth young Grasshopper and preach the gospel of self reliance!

Hopefully they are doing some oil changes assuming they are running constantly. Glad you made it thru and can help others.

Yeah after this storm, i hope people realize they need to prepare for stuff like this.
Having a generator is like having a flashlight or a gun. Dont get caught without one.

We got one like that in Mid-Atlantic in 1994. We were without electric for two weeks. Good thing I always remember dad saying to keep a kerosene heater for back up when the electric goes out. We set it up in the living room and all slept in there. We cooked on it and the grill. It doesn't seem people stay prepared as they used to.

Yep the efi is awesome and they are sooo quiet. I put over 800hours on it so far but its been getting neglected since I put the solar system in at the camp. It barely runs anymore.
