Holy hell!I've been on 2 boats which took direct lighting strikes, but they're a better "path to ground" than human flesh... but it'll still scare the chit out of you....
It doesn't do the vessel's electronics any good either
Be safe brother.Just wanted to take a moment, while I have WiFi, to wish all of you wonderful Spooners a fun, peaceful weekend!
Stay safe in this heat!
My weekend will start in about 27 more days, but it'll last for 12 days!
Altho up early, sounds like a fantastically productive day!I had an eventful day. It started by getting woken up at 0800.Seems the neighbors across the street are having their roof done. So a big-ass truck rolled up on our sleepy street all air braking and back-up beeping.
I tried to go back to sleep but was unsuccessful. So, I took myself into the toxic waste dump that is my office and started making an effort to do some clean up before the Xfinity tech got here. He got here and figured out what the problem was, fixed it, installed my new modem, and made sure I kept the same password! I sent him on his way with cans of coke and bottles of flavored mineral water. He tried to demure but my housekeeper advised him to just go with it as he would NOT win with me!
I worked with my housekeeper in the house. I had to clean out a closet that holds the attic access for the electrician guys the other day. I went through all the stuff that I pulled out of it. Mostly empty boxes and old phones. She was AMAZED that the closet got cleaned out.
I also painted some metal hummingbirds that I'm using for a little art project. They just weren't standing out like I hoped. So, I gathered up some nail polish and painted them. I like how they turned out!
Then, I went to my friends' across the street for dinner. I brought my dog with me as she and my friend are crazy about each other.
I have gym tomorrow.
My trainer will be in fine form, ready to beat me up!
It's FRIDAY now! That means weekend time, baby! I hope you all have a great day as you slide into the weekend.️
My hummers:

You said “hummers”
I had two close calls. One here at our house, but another when I was in an old national guard unit when a storm blew right the hell on us at Ft indiantown gap.
He was ok... I was ready for him.... hopefully i won't have to do education soon....she is restructuring the team... I will be more behind the scenes
What did you end up watching?
Yep..not as surprise. Everywhere i turn is a mess
I’m coming over for super!
Only Murders in the Building. More today and tomorrow.

Any of our Spooners have any experience w Generac full home generators? Momma has decided that her Subaru portable Gen with a suicide cord ain’t cutting it anymore and wants to go whole hog with a total system. I’ve heard mixed reviews on them, but that was some time ago. The one positive is that it would run her AC. The Subaru only runs the lights and outlets. Her power lines are above ground so they tend to lose power a lot longer than we do with buried lines. Last big hurricane power was out over two weeks for her street. We were up and running in 16 hrs. 
Mother Forklift Autocorrect! I hate it...
It may will depend where she is. You need to supply fuel and for how long would she need it? I know they have different engines. I have a friend a few blocks away and she has not run it for years, some one should maintain it and exercise it. There is a solar company down here (FLA) advertising never lose power so I guess they have batteries. That would have advantages 365, especially here in FL. I have them and get "credits" for the times i supply power to the grid. I have not heard anything bad about Generac and they put a transfer switch in for when the power goes out.
That old prayer about changing the things you can, and accepting the things you can't, is words to live by. Seems you already know the difference!
What luck!
My checking of auto corrected words remains sucky
My neighbor has one and loves it... I do too i can plug in my phone and stay cool/warm as needed

I think the Generac systems are OK. At the price point they're at, they're hard to beat. But I don't have actual experience with one yet, although I am looking at them for backup here. I'd go propane, and pipe it up to our 1000 gallon tank. (No gas to worry about going bad, etc.) I'm still young enough that wrangling out the 8KW unit and cord isn't that hard, yet...
Yeah, a real Ben Franklin right there!
