Gawd---agreed. It was fortunate that it had a built-in cutoff switch for when the oil is running low.
As experienced as we both are in construction, this is our first generator. Got it used at an estate sale. This is the third time we've used it and have used it longer this time than ever before. Glad we had it but ddddddaaaaaaaammmmnnn, it takes a lot of gas to get through a whole day/night.
Anyway, they shut off the power to the rest of Tinytown tonight while getting everything replaced. I guess those neighbors were out for, maybe two hours. Maybe only one. But you sure could hear them whining. We were out for almost 50 hours. Of all the things I missed (TV, computer, LIGHTS) I think I missed caller ID the most of all. Had to answer every call without knowing whether it would be nuisance call. I swear there were twice as many as usual. I think the SOBs intentionally targeted the part of the country that wouldn't know who was calling. And now,of course, their dastardly little systems KNOW this is an active phone number.
I have a renewed sense of how horrible it must be for all the people who STILL don't have power all this time after Hurricane FLORENCE, and then had to see Michael come this week too. I'm also realizing just how many vampire appliances, etc. that we have. I kept finding them the whole time the generator was running.

Where are we going and why am I in this hand basket?
