Road closures. What are your plans for "bugging in"?

Political Correctness

A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Running the shower will cause it to snow in your house.

I once thought that too.

I have yet to find a "deal" on a good generator.

Take a look at Ebay and watch what the used generators go for...best to buy it new and know what you have.

.22 at work with a brick?

I did that one time during a power cut. Set off the smoke detector. But, it did a nice job of warming the bathroom.

Ditto the Y2K flop. I figured there'd be lots of NIB generators at all the garage sales. There weren't.

All the Y2K buying and early computer upgrades were probably part of the economy run-up and subsequent slow-down.

During the Y2K flap EVERYONE (with no brain cells, which is a lot of people) was buying generators. Yet there seemed to be no super deals on used generators on Jan 2nd.

Shop cats will only stretch so far, even with rice.

I think the Y2K generators got gobbled up by the construction industry and the housing boom. Builders were in such a hurry to get houses to market that they were "prairie building" in areas that did not have water or power until days before they closed. That required a lot of generators. In the neighborhoods my wife built in you heard the constant hum of generators everywhere.

harbor freight has low cost enerators for under 200 bucks you can get a

2000 watt unit, enough to run a fridge OR gas furnce, OR one sem mjor load and some lights

We still have a pack of feral dogs running around, ask Tho for recipes for me.

Cool thought! I wonder if we can create a new situation just before the previous one peters out thus having a continual growth spurt.

Hell..its on the net
