hai!
Oh I bought us a natural gas generator that senses when the power goes out in the house and it turns itself on and runs till it sees that power has been restored. Freaking awesome! Self tests itself once a week and runs for 20 minutes and then shuts off.

Michigan winters are brutal, snow just stacks on top of itself.. Thank the good lord, I just come to see the parents every now and then, I'd go crazy if I lived there year round...

nice! my wife was talking to me about that. i should look into it. much better than dragging some engine to the deck and getting it stolen over night.

i need to check village ordinance first though.... that's where the discussion stopped last time..

If they only knew what they were missing! 7 seconds after power outage, it kicks on and I dont have to worry about doing anything.

Yeah I can SOMETIMES make it out for a weekend drive into november/VERY early December. Some years we are getting snow on halloween and the next year it just rains until 3 days before Christmas. Lake Michigan can be a big b!tch to us
