I will be happy if it only has to run for 15 minutes every Saturday @ 9AM like it's supposed to for the weekly "exercise" from here on out.
Are you in Florida???

What am I missing? (never mind I got it)

Up here in the boonies we're prepared for the long haul but we also have a Rinnai wall heater in one room and our cook stove is propane over electric...

I had a 3000 portable in the garage during the Stanley cup playoffs. My power kept going out so I used it to run the tv. Don’t mess with a Canuck when his team is in the playoffs. Lol

Well and septic didn’t even cross my mind. My acreage is on the edge of town so I have town water and sewer which was the main reason I bought it the place. That area has problems with well systems. If the power goes out in town, the town doesn’t have full backup power at the plant so are water goes out as well.

Might be some weird sorcery black magic shyte involved. If the 580yr old man goes after you, he will probably cast a spell that you, for the rest of your life, will always be a shipment behind. Oh wait........ 😂 Never mind.
