David, sorry about gen tank.
I was looking at 7500/9400 Firman tri fuel one at Costco today. $900. I’m sure the harmonics are as bad as the Westinghouse one I returned, but it would be nice to have one to run my well pump.

I have the Firman from Costco.... the harmonics are not bad at all!
I also have a Champion propane 3500W from TSC..... it's way louder than the Firman.
Not sure if there is a sound difference between using gasoline or propane.....

Wow, L4, the 401 and the 400 - my favourite highways! I wonder if our fellow TBNers know that the 401 is the busiest highway in North America.

During my years of being a field tech for a company that built machinery for auto industry and Great Lakes fishing I this have used all the 400 series roads.
I can believe that 401 is busiest highway in the world. I remember 1 trip to Oshawa I got to Milton about 4 pm. 4 hours later. I made it to Oshawa. About 100 km. No accidents. Just traffic. 26 lane parking lot.

Morning all, cold, sun is up.
Starting to feel a bit better.
Still just doing dog walks and 8 hour work days.
Had breakfast for the first time in a week, starting to feel like eating again.

Good morning to all! Low of 23°, going up to around 50°. Sunny, light breezes. More of the same tomorrow. Then it goes down to highs only in the low 40's. Maybe a light dusting of snow Monday.

I did get out into the shop yesterday, gathered most of the pieces that were cut for the edge tamer build..... but some of the smaller parts are MIA....
I'll do a brief search for them, but if not readily found, they will get re-cut.
I did find that my son used most of the remaining metal stock that the parts were getting cut from..... hopefully there is enough scrap left so I can complete the project.

Ron, thanks for the pic.... beautiful shot!

Helogabals, yes, there are many a story to be told from EMS experiences. Some good / funny, others very sad. I am hoping to forget most of them....
Looks really cold there.....

Funny about the metric / SAE measures.... I got used to the 'overlap' in sizes of wrenches.... eg: 1/2" = 13 mm, 3/4" = 19mm
One would think that the 'global market' is so big at this time, we would all be on one system of measurement......

All the talk about generators..... today might be a good day to fire them up for a maintenance run..... haven't done that in a year.....

Now that I added some more things to do.... better get moving!
Everyone have a great day!

Ron, if you want to drive on a parking lot around Toronto, try the Don Valley Parkway (DVP) at 5 P.M. on a snowy winter day. Either direction, doesn't matter.
After the 401 was completed it was outdated. At that time it was a 4 lane controlled access highway. Now in places around Toronto it is 12/13 lanes wide and still outdated.
Toronto has zero suburbs to the south, just east, west and north.
The best way to get from the east to the west end of Toronto is to hit the highway before 5 A.M. in Oshawa and stay in the core and pay real close attention to the overhead illuminated signs. My 'smart money' has always been to read the overheads and IF there is a lane closure, which in summer is all the time, then jump into the collectors one or two transfer lanes before the closure and pick the lane next to the hammer down lane (second lane from the left) and still pay attention to the signs. Unless I am in the big truck I always 'go with the flow', so at times you might be doing 80 + mph.
Back before the Commies (our Provincial Goobermint) made it law that trucks couldn't go over 105 km/h (65 mph) I could keep up with traffic. The truck I drive now has a hard time getting out of its' own way, but it will pull the world. 139,997 lbs (63,500 kgs) is what it is legal for.
You guys in the 'states that rely on GPS, don't do that up here. You are better with a printed map or a map book. GPS will send you down roads the wrong way to your destination.

Guys finally won!!!!! Food was good too.

Trip to Volcano National Park this morning. Christmas lunch with my retired military buddies at the Kīlauea Military Camp.

Will check out both lava flows while there.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

nice visit with MIL and then a successful trial of friend's gen.
Glad to be home, put on comfy clothes, and spend some serious time in hot tub

GPS will send you down roads the wrong way to your destination.

One of my old friends with a farm nearby has a huge sign at end of lane
STOP! YOUR GPS IS WRONG!

I was on rt 401 once, 30 years ago, visiting friends wife and I had met on cruise, near Mississauga.
Come visit, use our hot tub.
Sounds wonderful.
Fancy indoor sauna and hot tub was clothing optional
that was one of the more interesting experiences in my life
Canadians must have less hangups about their bodies, healthy actually. Europeans certainly do.
Guys wife was at least a DD, I remember forcing my eyes to look anywhere but.
My wife thought it was funny.

all I cared about was the sign saying Le Pont, the bridge to home.
Had a fun time in Niagara Falls on way home.

Here is the picture of the restored barn down the street from us. The upstairs is used for model sailing ships that is set out on Carrol Creek during holiday seasons and downstairs is shop and storage
