Well, a miracle happened tonight........
My husband and I decided to go out to dinner, since I have been slightly under the weather, and didn't feel like cooking...

When we got home, we heard a familiar sound......

Our generator was on!

My husband had insisted on installing it when we built the house....

And tonight, it paid for itself! We are the only house for blocks around that have electricity! BTW, I do feel sorry for our neighbors......

How about that?

:woohoo:

6. Hi there, my dear KitchenWitch!
Good to see you tonight.....I've missed you this weekend...

It is fueled with natural gas.....

And it has a Ford engine in it! When it starts up, it sounds just like a car starting!

:loveya: :hug:

4. Good stuff, my dear Peggy - hope you're feeling better soon
It's good that you didn't have to go back to a cold dark house - you might not use the generator often but it's there when you need it.

My sister in SF told me this morning that the weather in her area has been crappy - good to curl up with a good book........

7. My dear AussieDave!
I am starting to slowly feel better, thanks!

This is the longest it's been on...nearly an hour, now...

It is set to come on automatically, so we don't need to think about it at all.....

:hi:
