I am back from North Bay. Gas was $1.479/L or $5.59/ US gal. Took $69.oo worth, so my fuel conservation goal has been met for November, under $100.oo.

check, here is the page at Best Buy. https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/search?search=ups+battery+backup

Tiger direct has them too IF you are close to Markham, I think the Markham store is still in operation.https://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/search.asp?keywords=ups+battery+backup

I also use a surge protector on both fridges and water softener. Just a cheapy one, plug it into the outlet and plug the appliance into it.

I’m such a mileage slackard

Less than 2k on my exercise bike this year
Less than 12k on wife’s 2016 Pilot since 2016.
Less than 20k on my 2019 Ridgeline since 2019.

as the tail end of this system swept through, rain stopping with a lot of wind, the power went off.
Annoying that so did my pc so I clearly have something not turned on properly with my UPS. Or maybe it's only the screen not coming on.
Need to check the plugs.

so propane gen wailing away, 453cc of air cooled din and vibration, joining the rest in scaring all the wildlife.
this time I am prepared, or at least I think I am.
I installed a gizmo on the main panel to set off an alarm when street power comes back on. I had to throw a switch to turn the alarm on, not automatic at all.
Most of my neighbors have gens so hard to eyeball when power comes back on.

turned off electric hot water heater, it should run everything else with about 45amps. Oil furnace has a draw, and something just made the gen gulp and get loud.
Time to inspect. I want to see what just kicked on. And just kicked off.

Still blue sky here, but with some haze.

Not sure I even hit 1k on the bike.
I haven’t even put gas in my new Mazda. Been driving the Subaru.

The rain is gone, sun even came out some. Very windy at times, then nothing at times. Wind has cranked up again.
Power is on. Starlink internet went down for 21 minutes but is back.
Pellet stove full but still off 47° now, high was 53°.
Might make Bible study tonight. Haven’t been there in 2 weeks due to sickness.
Kitty enjoying my lap.
