Storms, Power Outages, Generator and Ancillary Thoughts Theiron
I came home at lunch time to check on things and run the generator for the fridge.
Walker was running around holding a battery powered lantern. Princess was following him. They were doing well though their routine was off so things were a little tense.
Fired up the generator. It started on the second or third pull. Ran a cord to the fridge. Plugged Wifey’s cell phone in.
Cooked grilled cheese for the kids to have along with some fruit for lunch.
Busted out the Goal 0 setup. The power source was dead. It is apparent to me that this device does not seem to hold power well over the long term.
Went to charge the Goal 0 setup but both outlets were filled. Went and found a power strip. I need to include one or two of those in the general genny setup. Granted you do have to pay attention to total power load with a small generator but it is easy to see how I could easily want to charge 3-4 things at once. This will be added to my generator support package which lives in a big, rugged water resistant
Stanley box.
Ate my lunch.
Showed Wifey how to start the generator in case she needed/ wanted it later before I got back.
The plastic cover was blown off the chicken coup. Didn’t have time to do anything about it then.
About that time the power came back on.
Later when I got home I put the generator away though didn’t repack it in the box. Have a feeling we might need it in the next couple of days. While I was there I decided to start up the other small engines we have, the chainsaw and push lawn mower. I try to do that monthly just to keep everything in good running order.
Need to sharpen the saw before using it again. I got the stuff to do so but have to figure it out and get it done.
I did a repair on the chicken coup. Re tied my ‘rock in the plastic wrapped in cord’ white trash grommets. Also put another one in and a cord over the top to hopefully lessen the tension on the connections. Worst case it should work for a few days. If this was a permanent setup I would build a more durable roof but that isn’t the situation so I’m making do.
So it was a busy day here. Tomorrow could be just as interesting.
