My new emergency generator

Christmas came early this year. Yesterday we suffered through a 18 hour power outage. There are people that are going to be out for days they say. The ice storm cut out our power at about 3AM. It finally came on around 6pm. Unfortunatly it was about 5 minutes too late. My neigbor had run out at 6am that morning and picked up a couple of generators. We put the oil in the second one, that I was going to purchase about 5 minutes before the power came back on. Now I own a $500 dollar backup generator. We'll see how many times I ever use it.
