Lost electric power sometime Friday afternoon due to the high winds and just got power back at midnight,makes you appreciate things like heat and running water.Of course along with the high winds knocking trees down everywhere the temps dropped to the single digits making it very hard to keep the house above freezing with just a small fireplace,temp inside the house yesterday was a whopping 44 degrees!Big concern though was to keep the hot tub from freezing up outside so I went searching for a generator yesterday and after striking out at Home Depot and Lowes(sold out) I found a power equip dealer who had a whole row of `em.So good news is the new 5000watt Honda generator got me through yesterday with heat and some power,the bad news is I just spent 2/3 the tax refund check I hope we`re getting this year.As a bonus the unit is somewhat portable so will come in handy at the dragway this season.Hope everyone else made it through OK and hopefully all the power is restored by now.
