    Been living in hotels. Got a hold of a guest computer but couldn't remember my password.

    Did I miss anything?

    It's there for you anytime you want it. Just make yourself at home. I've always been that way and it's Korean culture. We only ask that you remove your shoes when entering the house.

    Years and years ago I sold a 40KW Onan gen set to a guy that lived on Lake O. He answered his door in his bathrobe with a cup of Joe in his hand. He said come on in and have a cup of Joe before we talk generator.
    His name was Phil Knight. We talked for over an hour about SE Portland / East Moreland where is was raised and the Pink Bucket Pub on Powell where he first stated Nike, right next door. Great guy.
    They lost power for over a week and he said never again. He wanted one large enough to cover most loads with an automatic transfer switch.

    If you can get past the smell, they're all yours.

    I should get to know Phil Knight to ask about generators because my wife wants me to get one.

    They are nice to have, if they start up when needed. You would be surprised at how many people dont treat there gas, or exercise the generators with a load. I keep a couple 2KW portable's (inverters) that I can parallel if needed. Loaned them to one of my kids that lost power. I mostly use one unit while dry camping with trailer.

    I thought everyone knew that you've got to keep fresh gas for the task and test your setup at least once a year.

    Actually, I think it started with the Reagan era. The bill for those years has finally come due, that’s for sure.
