I use to think like FLL (about the generator) till that 95? ice storm when I had my first child. We lost power for 3 days, Then the next was 5, then 7, Some of those storms were F'n freezing. My brother lost power for 19 days in Derry! hardly the boon docks. I'll never be without one again. With kids in the house it gets expensive keeping it running, especially when gas was $4 a gallon.

He probably enjoys saving electricity when it goes out. In this day and age there is no reason to be without power and I don't understand anyone that would be happy about it.

Some people just like going against the grain.

So that being said did you opt for a $500.00 machine or a $4,000 "quality"(?) unit?
