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.
