Today is also my payroll day so i need to cyber kick some arse to get it in before 5pm today. Thank goddess for portal software.

Have a good & profitable day.. or should that be: may hurricanes blow sales your direction??

I've been working up at lovely and scenic Bolton Landing

I used to love to go to the Sagamore. You lucky dog.

Morning! Yep it's the first day of hurricane season here we go again! My closet in my office is full of canned goods, water, flashlights, candles and a shit load of batteries. We also bought a small window unit so we can a least have one room cool if needed. I thank Cleo for that idea Lowes has tax free generators on sale, we have one but need to another to run the ac. Cleo what size generator do you use to run your ac?

Have a great day all!

Mine is only 5500 watts but that is enough to run a one room portable A/C plus the microwave, some ceiling fans, most of the lights in my house, one element of my stove, computers and modems, phones, garage door, TVs, satellite dish, and a few other small things. If I want to heat hot water I have to turn off the A/C but water stays hot for a few days or until you use it. The advantage of running a smaller generator is it uses less fuel. Mine uses 10 gallons of gasoline each 24 hours so my 182.5 gallons of gas that I have stored will keep me powered for 18 days.

My rich neighbor put in a huge 24 Kwh generator that will run some of his central A/Cs plus just about everything in his house but his 250 gallon propane underground tank will only run it for 2.5 days and then he has to pray that he can get another propane delivery.

After the last two hurricanes there was no problems in buying generators and one room A/C units at the local Home Depot so if we got hit bad again this year during a hot time of year I might pickup another one room A/C and a small generator to run it just to cool an extra room of my house as long as fuel didn't become a problem so that I didn't have to live in my bedroom again.

I do have both a cable modem and a ADSL line for internet so hopefully at least one will stay working again after a storm.

Thanks for the info Cleo! The one we have is only 2800 but this area has never been hit (yet) We thought we could use that one for the ac. Then buy another one for the fridge, lights and tv etc. We are looking at a 4500 so guess that would do it then. Yeah I saw the pics. of your gas supply looks like your all set
