Storm Stats and Memories
We went 60 hours without power using a 1600W generator. We used just under 10 ga of gas. The generator with a full tank of gas (a little over a gallon I think) would run 4 – 7 hours. As we kept running it dry, the carb got full of gunk and would run harder […]
The Power is Back
We went a little over 60 hours without power in the dead of winter. Not bad. – b

Day 2 and All’s Well
Heading into day 2 of no power. So far so good. News reports are saying it could be the weekend before the power is back on. We’ll probably need more gas if that’s the case. Of course the really big news around here is that Abigail turned 4 yesterday. In the midst of all that […]
