We lost our power at 8 last night and just got it back...glad I did good generator maintenance last summer...
How big of a genset are you running? We want to get one for here before hurricane season next year. Houston can be bad around those times for power outs

Oh it's just a tiny one (4500), good enough to run a few items...We are seriously thinking about getting a Generex (8500) this coming year.

Our current one started on the first pull, ran all day on half tank of fuel, it did pretty good in my opinion.

Nice. We looked at some whole house options and that would take out the ultraglide option I was wanting next year. Lol

That is the way to go, the Generex we are looking at would be running the whole house. We first looked at getting a wood or pellet stove but with these we would have heat and no power...with the Generex, we would have peace of mind..

I had to start up my genny, snow blow a path to the back and drag it out there and plug it in and then do a watch to check fuel..kind of a pain in the arse.

I like the cold....I recall coming home in the dead of winter from overseas missions where it was +30'C and when I got home it was -30'C.....it took a few days to acclimatize..

Now I avoid going anywhere in the winter as the temperature change can really suck.

The only good thing about the very cold air is my truck really likes it...

I passed someone in the passing lane and my Ram Jam was doing a Hayabusa impression by taking off like it meant it.

Hi. This AM -0 zero. Our 2 wood stoves and fireplace have been going all night and day. We only heat with wood. We have a wood stove for our hot water too. I also have a camp about 3 miles into the woods the coldest that I was out over night was -14 no heat but a -30 sleeping bag.

I did enough winter exercises to last 3 life times... being retired, I like the fact that when it is cold outside I can look out the window instead of hear my teeth chatter...
