Generator running, heat going, Surfing Gun Boards. Priceless.
Lessons learned. Make sure fuel stabilizer is drained from carb b4 trying to start generator, Make sure correct circuit breaker is on once generator runs.
Hope everyome w/out power is ok.
Oh Yeah, make sure you have fule for more than snow blower on hand, Thanks Brycom
I do have power...and ~10" on the ground. Did all the generator and snowblower maint last month...I'm good ;)
Dont worry Jim their are suckers out climbing poles making sure you can surf gun boards [ROFL1]
A good portion of Greeley/Windsor and surrounding areas are without power, and cable/internet because of power.
A co-worker off Douglas rd has been without power since 10 last night. I had power this morning but couldnt watch Fox news due to a power outage takeing out my cable [Rant1] That was at 5 am, wife says its still off but at least we have heat (well she does, I am freezing my butt off). 20' off the ground is a lot colder with no wind blockage.
next time you're 20' up try moving that left arm out another 5-6" my wi-fi is a little spottyQuote:

Surprisingly none of the Kommiefornians have taken out a power pull yet up here in Evergreen (and power was on at the apartment in Lakewood when I left at 815), we have about 10" right now in E-Town.
Now I have power!!! Thanks to Jim of course[Tooth]
got power!
We're good here.
No power here, posting from the phone.
GTG here in (sorta) Parker area.
UPS's on the computer stuff keeps it all running for a while. Portable 3800W genset is fueled, checked out, and ready to run the necessities.
Envious of my friend's new (used) 15KW liquid propane "whole damn ranch" setup.
Somebody decided to take out a power pole around 4am. I woke up to the slight beep of one of the ups's. Got some light in the bathroom and took my shower.
There must be a new rule in Texas because the troops were starting to come to work. The light off of gate 4 was out and I guess that means pretend it does not exist. They were coming down the ramp and just flying through the left turn like it was green. [Rant1] And I say Texas because I noticed 4-5 plates of the group that did not even think about stopping.
No power in Berthoud! And my generator won't run! It's on non firearm trading post if someone wants to make me an offer! Sent the wife and kiddo down to
Westside to her parents, baching it tonight!
My power ended up going off for 5 hours or so but its back now. But US cable cut my service line so I don't know if the cable is back on or not fricken pricks!
Link always helps. More than likely it is due to old fuel.Quote:

I would almost say they deserve what happens to them, except they usually end up hitting the person that did stop first and then entered the intersection.

Not old fuel. Drained and replaced to narrow it down.Quote:

Power was out at work today when I got there; but they have a generator the bigger than my truck (no really) so it wasn't much of an issue.
we got 10 inches of fresh global warming in bailey today. no power issues.
we have only lost power once in the nine years i have been here. IREA does a good job.
Plenty of power. Even if it goes out I have two cords of wood and something called a book. I figure I can try that if I get desperate.

Still out...
We all know you have a bunch of little river band and steely dan records laying around, burn them first.Quote:
