Another High-Beam Pilot here too..... The other thing I'll selectively add, is lateral movement, within my lane, esp. on long straight stretches. Light, Colour, Movement (vs. a Static oncoming point of light, on a narrow object) can hopefully distract an oncoming driver from their phone, long...

Needs Must... spending money, so you can Keep Making Money makes sense to me. Industrial gens, despite sizeable cost, find their way into funny places...... many commercial EV sites are powered by diesel generators (line upgrade delays), and I personally know of an engine performance shop that...

Animals helping out my utility, on Friday. Small utility area, but most of it was out initially, so I fired up my larger portable, as this is not a good time of year to have no power @ sump-pump. Of course, grid was back about 15 minutes after I had my gen running..... Didn't end up taking them...

Meant to say "Should be Plenty"...... unless you run smelting-furnaces in your shop...... altho, given the TBN crowd, I should watch what I joke about :cool: ! Rgds, D.

Thanks for the pics OR ! We like pictures..... I'd have to start by looking up "Base Rate", as I don't play at these power levels..... poked around a bit just now.... not sure if that term is in current (pun-intended) use..... might have to wait for one of the Commercial guys like CM to drift...

90 carries those #'s better in his head than I do.... but I was initially thinking Peak Pwr, when I saw his comment.... Rgds, D.

I'm going to assume it's already in your Will..... might outlast all of us, put-together ! If you have a minute, post-up how your test-run went. Rgds, D.

Dang ! Not sure what put more drool on my keyboard.... the Deal on the trailer, or your Pull-Toy ! (y)(y)(y) Rgds, D.

Sounds like great fun ! Hopefully you won't need spikes ! Wishing good weather for your trip. Long day on the way back, but if you have time for a few pics - perhaps post up on ADVrider, and drop the link here ? Rgds, D.

Thanks for the glimpse into the Big Leagues CM ! Rgds, D.

:cool: LOL ...... stranger things have happened... IIRC, this site started out in a teenager's bedroom. Then again, aggregating info on critical infrastructure performance these days.... might lead to black-helicopters on my lawn ! Rgds, D.

Seeing your post.... thinking I'll need more categories for Utility Awards..... (read-out, Academy Award announcer style...) A) Top 5 - Frequent Outages B) Top 5 - Marathon Outages C) Top 5 - Ultra-Marathon Outages Ride along with world-travelers like Itchy Boots though.... plenty of people...

That telemetry package could almost convince me to start carrying a cell again....... Almost. I'm close to home virtually all the time these days, but if I was still traveling for business like I used to, that setup would seriously tempt me. Key data, AND CPU Temp, AND Wifi with actually some...

Thinking I should start annual Top 5 Utilities That Support Generator Exercise awards ! Rgds, D.

I have 2 Kawasakis in the garage now, plated for the road.... small stuff, by N. American standards, with the KLX300 being added last year. I like Honda just fine.... have seriously looked @ a few models over the years... the Kaws were the right deal/time. I have a very soft spot in my heart...
