Wife laid the law down after a hot night in bed last night. Now, get your head out of the gutter, our AC is out and it was pretty warm last night and the humidity was high. So it was pretty warm inside my house. She told me this morning that she didn't sleep worth a crap last night and to get a service tech out here NOW! lol. So I have one on the way. I hate spending money on something that I can do myself, I just don't have the tools to do it. Money down the drain... But it will be nice outside for a few days afterwards and I STILL won't use the AC hahahhaa

Today was a very early start, attended the ANZAC day Dawn service at 5:30am, great service followed by breakfast at our place with some cousins who were then going on the the march in the city.
Note: ANZAC day in Australia & New Zealand is the equivalent of the US Memorial day.

I drove 2 tanks of fuel through my TMaxx. Man I almost forgot how much fun it was. I need to get to work on my ramp.

Well with hurricane season around the corner " June 1st til November 1st" I fired up the generator yesterday afternoon and this morning. I ran 1 1/2 gallon of gasoline til it ran out. About 10hrs without anything hooked up to it. At the same time broke out the solar lights and phone charger to make sure it works. We also set up the solar ovens and we have dinner cooking for tonight 
. Charged up all of our rechargeable batteries to see if they hold there charge or not. We rather be save then sorry. Last year we got lucky. Everyone around us lost power but we didn't. Maybe this time we might not be so lucky. Just in case we know we will be ready for anything that comes our way!

Hey Tony. That will be tomorrow test. I like to run the generator first with enzyme fuel treatment to make sure it runs good after sitting all winter. Then I'll put another 1 1/2 gallon of gas with stuff connected like the refrigerator, fans, lights and any other device that we might need.

Also awhile back, a year or so, URI had a solar panel setup for field charging his batteries for his heli that I liked to invest in. I'm not sure if you still have that post Tony or if URI is still around that he can post up a picture and a list of equipment that he use.

I actually have not heard from URI in a while now. I need to get in contact with him and find out what he is doing. But he did do a great article on the solar setup he is using. Link below.
