Electricity is really just organized lightning.

George Carlin

I just went into the village picked up more catfood and most important my new gen. I haven’t been able to generate enough electricity with the cheap emergency gen I bought at Christmas. No I am not independently wealthy. I had to sacrifice some of my food budget to buy that.

I also made it to town and picked a few groceries with what money I had left. What I had was $75 the bill came to $73.45 including two on sale tiny houseplants, call that food for the soul. That left me a little change to buy a chicken burger at the new drive-thru. . I grabbed that and small coffee and headed down the highway back home. Once I was there it was time to unload and put groceries away and carry the gen inside 56 pounds felt like two hundred. I had planned to break it in today, but the new cold weather was on its way. Very windy outside. It will have to wait.
