    I looked into a generator for the home. No one around here sells an Onan solution. About 12 years ago the local shopping center had a tertiary power feed installed that runs behind my home. We were placed on that feed since it was installed you can count, on one hand, the number of power losses greater than 10 minutes. No real need for a generator.

    What a tease Mike. TY for the pic.

    Good morning. Day 3 of the brace and I already dislike having the brace on. Time to get back to s semi regular routine.

    Sold the gas grill to a really nice guy for $175 yesterday. 2 grills gone and 2 more to sell. The end game is to purchase a new pellet smoker that does everything. I will not be selling my Weber Smoky Mountain, I like using it way too much.

    Price. Power. Convertibility. Reliability.

    MB isn't bad. And a diesel would have been OK. But high price and since around 2019, Reliability lacking

    What else is there? Chrysler has none of the above. Maybe Price. Convertibility. But they can't get out of their own way.

    I'm with you on that one. We have a generator for camping and it will run the fridge and freezers with an extension cord just fine. Almost sixteen years here and never needed it once. (knock on wood)
