We're projected to get .1 to .5 inches of ice. The weather guessers are losing their minds. "Tree limbs down, power outages." I've been working on our little generator anyway, cleaned the carb which got it starting better. Today I got it to output power, I'd left the neutral cable unplugged from the outlet. Mostly if the power is out I'll use it to recharge the old car battery we use to run the inverter that gives us lights and computer. Kerosene was on sale at the hardware store so I picked up a few gallons. I've got a few Aladdin lamps (and one nice old B&H) and of course Coleman stuff. In a pinch it could also go in the car or the house boiler. We hauled about a quarter of a cord of wood into the "wood room" which is really the basement walk-out. We'd have done that anyway, thats about 2 weeks of wood for us. Finally we got a fire going in the stove, its easier to keep the house warm with the stove than it is to start from a cold stove. So I guess we're pretty well ready, anybody else make storm preparations? -Curt _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com
