Electric Boogaloo

Hello out there!

This morning at 11:37am the electricity went back on, along with the cable. It was timestamped on my generator.

And let me tell you about my generator.

I don't plug much here and when I do it's because I feel strongly about it. It could be blog sites or products but I never point you towards anything I do not believe in.

That said, if you are in an area where weather can knock out your power, you need to look into Generac Generators. The Guardian series of stand by units can fit all your needs and they perform. My unit (10kW) ran for 5 and a half days after no service for 6 months and had zero issues. They come on 10 seconds after power goes out and shut off and switch to utility after 3 minutes of outside power being confirmed. Checked the oil tonight and it's clean and not gritty at all. Solid units. Get the natural gas line if they are in your area and no need to have gasoline or propane on hand. This purchase really saved me money this week when looking at a week long hotel stay for 3 people and two animals.

In market related matters, I am still getting caught up. I expect more commentary over weekend as I get up to full speed. So much work to do in the yard as well this weekend, plenty of trees did not make it. A chart showing all I missed was more drama of wishful longs and shorts so scared of headlines it's a Gap 'O' Thon out there (hourly chart for better look, I only use daily charts for my work in general):

And it is my good friend Josh Brown's 3 year Anniversary of blogging on The Reformed Broker, so why not swing by and leave a comment. Readers know how much GYSC appreciates the help and advice that TRB offers. The best of us in this small world.

Oh, and Friday is on like Donkey Kong so get those requests in!

Have a good night.

Welcome back to civilization, man! Glad to see you made it and weren't devoured by zombies in the interim. Or robots. Or robot zombies.

Now there's a thought . . .

I think we have a short story idea there! Sorry I have not been better about being in touch, real mess here all last week. Thanks for coming by and leaving a comment. You are a real good friend David, and I appreciate it.

Glad you have your juice back. I was beginning to think you'd need to change your name to Electric Disconnect. Glad your generator did the trick. Don't get too worn out cleaning up the yard. I would recommend having a good six pack on hand! :)

How was robotics training?

While I'm at it, I'd like to request The Doobie Brothers' Rio.

Sov,
all your questions will be covered tomorrow night on robotics.

Natas said...

GYSC, now that you have infiltrated the enemy's lair, I hope you are finding the robot's weaknesses, for there shall come a time when they become self aware.

It hath been foretold!
