As Above So Below
We have the storm that caused all the tornadoes in the states towards the west, hurricane force winds right now with bands of rain...First wave coming through now, the bigger part of the storm is fast approaching...Expecting power outages in the area, got my generator set up and ready...

My niece in SE Wisconsin got walloped with bad storms and has been without power for days so she and her husband went out and got a nice Briggs & Stratton portable generator, she's been texting back and forth to me about hooking it up.
Actually listening to what I say does not seem to be on the menu. Like many interactions I've had at Home Depot on this very topic (hundreds and hundreds of them) she seems to want my approval for whatever they want to do more than useful advice. My point is there is only one way to hook these up to a panel, the right way, the NEC approved way that avoids physical danger and risk of equipment damage or even fire. When I did mine a few years ago it as under a Town permit and signed off on by an electrical inspector. God forbid there ever is any problem with that my home insurance will not have an issue, it's 100% legit and up to Code.
Naaaaah. Why bother when you can hire some generic handyman called 'Wolf' who will whip you up a nice suicide plug to use on the dryer outlet. In that situation they always seem to want to argue the point despite not having the faintest idea of what's involved or how it works. FAFO I say. Once again I am thankful for that thousand mile distance between us

This winter was the worst in decades. Lots of cleanup as section of fence fell apart and there were limbs down everywhere. Its been a nice cool Spring so far and WHAM 85 degrees yesterday - and again today.
I was hauling out deck furniture yesterday and about sweated to death, my blood is still too thick It was only a short time ago it was ten below zero and I had to use thigh high trails cut into the snow just to take the dog out.

Wrong thread but it's probably that nasty Donald Trump's fault, he ruined it when he co-opted the Easter Bunny. God I laughed at this ......
