    Not going to be able to ride till next Wednesday. Man 3 big storms are coming in one after the other. They are talking 3-6 inches of rain depending on area. Heavy winds are also coming in which means possible no power again. I know quit the bitching but I'm missing summer already. :banghead: :mad:

    To bad you can't send that rain down here. We are still hurting from two years ago. Just barely have water in our stock ponds. They are saying we MIGHT get some Saturday but we could have used what Colorado got and not been hurt one darn bit.

    It rains a lot in the Pacific northwest. Everytime I went up there it rained. Been somewhat dry here and it's looking to be dry all week with temps in the low 80s.

    I hate when that happens and I have a generator and switch panel. Its a biotch to get the huge genrator from the barn to the back of the house. It holds 9 gallons gas. Unless its winter I'll wait a couple 8-10 hours to see if the power comes back on. If its winter and the temps are in the freezing numbers I'm right on it but pissed if after all that the power comes back on in minimum time...you just never know. But I'm ready.

    I probably should use the bucket loader in the future...never thought of that till now.

    Fixed it for you LOL


    You don't need a multi thousand dollar generator, just a good mid size will
    do, with a junction box to run lights, fridge and fans, innernet, tv.

    Got one at lowes for $500 and it will run two fridges, all the fans and lights, tv, and a window shaker to keep the master br cool..
