Howdy folks, was on the phone to the folks back in Pa. Just finished reading everything. Ms. Arlene, saw your pictures earlier today after you told me about them & I'm in agreement with those other guys. Are you sure you didn't make a mistake in your math somewhere? 40? I would never've guessed. But I'm sorry to say I'm not much good at guessing ages anyway. I'm usually off anyway. I'm going for 54 next summer. Seems hard for me to believe it's been that long already. Definitely feel my age & a few more to boot. You might've thought I was kidding about AAADD & CRS, I wasn't. I don't even remember if I got the T-shirt or not. Know I've been there & done that. Shucks, I'm still there & doing that.

mine is very easy on the battery and the alt. too -I run it around 30 minutes and it still starts right up -have run a light and a saw for over an hour no problems starting
much better than an old heavy noisy generator too

nice! Of course, I get talking about my kids & mention that my son turned 19 last week, so I get the - whew, started young, didntcha - looks. I then have to give up my real age.

Just happy to have been here this long & make the best of whatever's left!

Hey Jr. what are you guys talking about? Is that a thing to convert 12 volt D.C. to 110 volt A.C.? That sounds cool. Also sounds like a lot of work. Did you have to put in a second battery, what about the alt., etc.? As you have probably guessed by reading this I know nothing about electrical.
