Your last generator Maintenance Run

[3930dave]

So to me the worst of the worst is the person who thinks the whole world has to watch out for them. These are the ones who, as an example, want a mandate that all generators should have a CO sensor that isn't reliable anyway. But they'll force it down your throat because of their own short comings. If one wants a generator with a CO sensor they should be able to buy it. And for those smart enough to not run a generator in their garage, they should be able to buy one without. This goes a whole lot further than the example for sure.

Here's the Catch.....

People that will take Responsibility, also typically want Autonomy and Freewill.

That ^ monster rabbit-hole, goes way beyond this thread, and mostly likely would lead to a closed-thread on TBN.

(Clarity, if needed - you and I are totally on the same page ).

It was my spare 3500 Companion that is easy to start and easy on fuel.

Pulled the refrigerator out enough to plug it into my new 50’ 12ga extension cord… so refrigerator good.

It's maybe only a 50/50 chance, but same "incapable of physical effort pulling an easy-start cord" person.... I can see spending hours every week in a gym.....

Darwin, still lives among us....

Dont know how old the deck gfci is, but some real old ones still work after electronics inside fail. I have ran into alot of them that wont trip with my gfci tripper tool, but still provide power.

Newer ones fail open.

At the moment I am stringing wire to separate the circuit to the outside deck fridge which the GFCI goes open. EVERYTHING is Kosher but ya don't want an outside refrigerator on a GFCI. This is a new Samsung unit.

Honest to gosh the PGE utility crews here have off duty uniformed police officers standing by… not directing traffic and only there to prevent robbery.

Crews were getting robbed at gunpoint so they started refusing to go certain places and union backed them.

Same for Bay Area news crews…

The off duty police officers are paid about $100 per hour by the networks and utilities to be armed at the job sites such as power pole or transformer replacement.

PG&E hiring off-duty Oakland police officers to protect crews working in the city

According to the latest crime statistics from Oakland police, robberies are up 22% compared to this same time last year, and among the victims are utility crews.

Purposely flood your country with illegals from countries considered 3rd world countries, and we become like that 3rd world country.
Is there anything surprising about that?

It is surprising because it’s rather new for utility crews and news crews to be attacked…

Utility lineman not exactly pushovers.

In all honestly 2019 was one of the best years here… new businesses, renovations, openings… the complaint was gentrification… go figure.

Then the pandemic and the longest pandemic policies in the nation and all that was gained and more lost… with the Power Safety Power Shutoffs making generators a hot commodity.

Oakland had finally turned the corner after decades of decline… really sad turn of events…

Bottom line is anything valuable like a portable generator must be secured otherwise it will grow feet…

My portables are on 6 month rotation and going back to 1990 ok except for the Honda in the service van… the temp extreme fluctuations pulling in moisture laden air probably finished off the carb…

And you live around there?

Bwahh hahhh.

Do you have a point, or just feeling cocky?
