Not So Pro 3

For my hometown and the families effected by the shooting on Saturday

My technology challenged wife is on a trip with a couple of her sisters. She stuck her phone in a selfie stick, which held down the right combination of buttons to cause it to reset.

She called on her sister's phone and had me talk her through restoring it.

This might be the closest I've ever came to suicide....

Change all of her contacts to sugarbritches

Morning fellas, 50 and scattered clouds, headed to the low 60s

I wouldn't move.

Change all of her contacts to sugarbritches

She'd kill me until I died from it.

I wouldn't move.

She'd kill me until I died from it.

Can I remind you that you said that about next January 15th when it's 20 below?

Plus you guys in Tennessee sound entirely too violent for me

I'll never forget hiroki asking me
What is a sugarbritches

So, shifting gears ever so slightly, I went back about a year when @Kiwioilboiler was generator shopping and read what the folks had to say

I am looking for something to run the furnace and lights (all lights are LED) and the fridge/freezer and the garage heater in case of extended winter outages

I have the following to choose from at the local big box stores

Dewalt and Champion at Home Depot

Generac, Firman (never heard of them before), and Craftsman at Lowes

I know several people recommended Champion, and of course there was the Honda crowd but my understanding is that Honda is/was/has pulled away from "garden tools" and thats going to be a thing of the past

My problem is I DO NOT trust reviews on store websites, or Amazon, etc and the sales people at HD/Lowes are idiots

So, I am picking your brains

A secondary consideration besides brand is single fuel (gasoline) or duel fuel (gas/propane)

I don't have any propane stuff anymore but I do have a tank or 2 in storage so maybe that's a consideration

Thanks in advance

I have owned a Generac GP6500 for about 10 year now, and it has been as reliable as a good hammer. It has enough to run most of my home, and starts on the first or second pull every single time. I use it to run the lights, the boiler, well pump, or AC depending on the season, in addition to 2 refrigerators and a 16 cu/ft chest freezer.

My total usage on the unit is about 250 hours, as my utility power is flaky at best where I live.

I've been happy with Generac

Edited for total run time on my generator

Yes, I think you should go ahead and pick that one.

Sounds like it would be the best option for you.

Quit volunteering to go on gray alien spaceships just because they advertise free anal probes

That has ALWAYS been my philosophy regarding weather and temps

And humidity rivals Nazis for the most evil thing ever
