We live in a little ranch-type house so we decided not to get an elevator. I was wondering about reliable brand names, actually. You worked with elevators? When I was in my early 20’s, my little family had a vacation in the mountains and we ate with a gentleman who worked for Otis elevators. After that, I’ve always taken the stairs.
You have a great attitude!
Isn’t Detroit slowly but inexorably turning into dust and drifting off on the wind?
Prophylactic prayers up.
Great! Thank you, sweet lady.
That’s always my first thought. “Keep the freezer running!!!”
Also, the HVAC is important, especially the “heating” part in the winter here in the north where it can get really cold.
I hope you are having a good afternoon!
US Airlines have no interest in things like a middle point being between two end points when creating flight schedules.
It’s better now that I’ve unmolded my latest batch of soap. [smiles]
Plotting and planning my next batch now.
In all seriesness, it probably was his fault...
Ask him what happens to regular mechanical watches when he wears them...
ah, only wanted to bring the info onto / into a look around. If Darks did do it ... would actually be okay with it having been him. I am having trouble thinking it was Darks. May have been bleed-off from another cyber attack and Darks was not the one. Therefore, my apology Darks for thinking mouse going crazy was caused by you.
From the 'we don't need no steenkin logic' dept... ;-)
Mrs. NoC flew from our local airport (which once was an Air Force base) to Florida to visit her mother (before she died) and sister. Last I checked, Florida is like South of here and if you're driving it you take I-95 South...
Delta Air instead chose to fly her 600 miles West first (to Cincinnati) before getting her to Atlanta before getting her to Tallahassee...
It's too late. They're already there...
‘Face says she’s on the plane to depart Detroit for L.V., as scheduled.
As soon as either DP or Bill arrives home, Pat and I are going to take supper to a sick parishioner. I think pizza will be the meal at home, unless Bill has eaten all that was in the freezer!
My leave got approved pending a major natural disaster. I’ll be driving down either into the night on the 31st or in the daytime on the 1st, depending on how I feel about it.
Now I need to talk someone into dogsitting for a week and a half.
That’s exactly what I thought of.
Thank you for being you!
Selecting a generator depends on several very important factors:
What will you need to power? (Well pump, furnace, refrigerator, and freezer? And/or medical equipment?)
What will be the fuel source?
How will the generator start?
For really minimal needs, for example, if you’re on town water and gas heat, you might be able to get by with just enough emergency power to light a few lights and operate your entertainment, (TV and computer).
For more serious needs, you might be able to get by with a pull-start generator, and alternately plug in those things that need to be powered, when they need to be powered. That is, run the well pump, then the furnace, then the freezer, et cetera).
For the most convenience and security, get a reliable fuel source, and have the generator start automatically when the power fails. Use an automatic transfer switch to provide power to the essential equipment.
The ideal situation is having natural gas supplied to your house. That can be your fuel source. Since it is usually also your fuel for the stove, and the furnace, your electricity needs are reduced.
To assess how big a generator you must have, add up all the appliances that you will have running at the same time in an emergency. Size the generator according to your needs, your cost tolerance, and how much work you are willing to do balancing and shifting things around.
