SLIDE WARNING;
Hubby is building a root/storm shelter under a storage shed. So I think a metal can with wet towels would be pretty adequate - we wouldn’t be stocking up like we do now.
You always seem to have the right Word at the right time. ThanQ.
I agree completely with your assessment.
Does anyone remember this incident? I'm going through cases of actual hostile actions in this election.
Thanks
No, you’re not.
No need to apologize. We are glad you’re here. WWG1WGA!
Here’s the deal with freezers in a grid down situation: Make sure you have on hand cheap indoor/outdoor thermometer (the kind that have a long wire with the sensor on the end). At the first sign of a long power outage put the sensor in the freezer and get the door closed quickly. You should keep a deep freezer at about 0°F in normal times but if you can keep it at 20-25°F short term you won’t lose anything. But it would be good to use up your goods soon as possible.
We were thinking about a standby generator but our co-OP has the power so stable anymore that we decided to run extension cords and use our portable generator because a standby is so pricey and we would almost never use it. Knock wood...
***Question. in December 2020 there was a finance officer from I think the Federal Election Commission. That was holding up on money going to Biden over security issues. She was personally threatened. Threaten her child, family and dog.
Does anyone remember this incident? I’m going through cases of actual hostile actions in this election.
“...”I did, however, receive threats online, by phone, and by mail directed at my safety, my family, my staff, and even my pets in an effort to coerce me into making this determination prematurely,” Murphy continued.
Murphy was also on the receiving end of media outrage. CNN’s Jake Tapper, for example, said her “actions” -referring to her refusal to acknowledge Biden’s win, which is still being contested by lawsuits- is a matter of “life and death...”
Yes. Not the FEC. More like office of government responsibility something along those lines. After the threats, when POTUS DJT went ahead and said it was ok, she wrote a letter to Beijing Biden regarding the receipts/record keeping that was necessary in order to access the funds, and so his transition team chose not to do it. They may have done so later.
Initially she would not do it because the counting was still going on and some states had not yet certified-so it would have been illegal or against regulations or something along those lines.
> #917 8k generator is too small to run our place. Electric dryer, hot water heater, well, forced air furnance a/c, chest freezer...
That electric hot water heater is the culprit. Both the starting and running wattage for that is around 4,500! (https://energytoday.biz/blog/how-big-of-a-generator-do-i-need-to-run-my-whole-house). Both my hot water heater and furnace is propane.
I’ll be running my entire house on an 8k generator. That may or may not include the central A/C unit I’m going to be getting.
This includes my sump pump, refrigerator, freezer, well pump, furnace, lights, computers (1 desktop and 2 laptops), I could even run my pool pump. The entire house. Stove is gas as well.
There would be a scheduled time for the running of our electric clothes dryer (6750 starting, 4500 running watts). Even something like a microwave is 1500 running watts.
I just need to be smart about it. Generators, especially fixed whole house generators are getting very rare. The only thing they had left was WAY more than I needed, it would have been a waste to operate it. To get one people need to really dial in how much wattage they use and not underpower their house (bad stuff happens) nor overpower their house (you’re wasting money on the unit and fueling it).

We do have a portable that we have gotten by with. But hubby puts off starting it to make sure it works, and I am totally inept when it comes to that. And I wouldn’t be able to lug it to where it needs to be.
I just want to be able to flip a switch and have my well work, my oxygen concentrator, and maybe a computer now and then. I have battery pack for the O2, but would need to recharge it every 3 days.
Let’s face it. Pence was given the reigns of running the COVID pandemic. What did he really do? His briefings were terrible, gave little information and Trump had to eventually takeover, yet still praised Pence, knowing full well he failed.
I believe Trump knew about Pence too, looking back. Pence had me fooled.
You would want a fixed generator on an auto standby switch. You could even do a portable generator, just keep it plugged in with the auto standby, just make sure it’s protected from the elements, which is what I’m going to do. I’m going to build a concrete pad for it and build a small shed for it with an exhaust port. It also helps if you have push button start. Easy peasy. Just unplug it from the house and start it up, let it run for a while. I’ll be running mine at least once a month to keep it fresh.

SLIDE WARNING:
I plan to heat water on my rocket stove, hang laundry on a clothes line. I have battery operated fans and a solar charger for the batteries. Fireplace for heat-might need to run the fan on the insert.
Main need is to pump well water, and run oxygen condenser. All else is nice to have, but depends on cost of the whole thing.
> I believe Trump knew about Pence too, looking back. Pence had me fooled.
Me too. On January 6th I knew I was wrong. And I admitted it. Bagster was right.
