One of my neighbors just sent me a text message that the power came back on. What a relief...

My Dad and I had gone up to my house for a couple of hours with his generator to keep the freezer cold. After running a little while, it was obvious that the generator had a problem and would not get the job done. Time to drop back and punt. Not knowing how long it would be out, I was about to get in the truck and head to the ranch. We have a 6000 watt and a 10500 watt generator, along with several large containers for gasoline storage. I was dreading making a trip there and back tonight.

I'll post more once we're back home and running there.
