The Official Status Update Thread: Part 91 - Snowmageddon 2 (The White Death)

We actually look forward to these things. Love the challenge.

I don't mind them. Winter would be boring without them!

What I meant was - do you have the ability to only shut down orders for delivery online or is it all-or-nothing?

Oh yeah. We can do one one or the other or both. We generally only shut down delivery unless there's something really really bad going on. Like the night I got robbed or when the fryer caught on fire or something like that

I look forward to my standby generator in the spring...

My standby generator is a mile down the road at the shop. A nice little Honda EU 3000is

Good evening puma!!! How are you?

I would love to have a Honda portable but, that said, they're atrociously expensive.

Do have a Generac GP5500 5.5kw but that's a portable and not a standby. By standby I mean permanently mounted to a concrete pad with a natural gas line and an automatic transfer switch.

I do need to take the GP5500 to the shop to have the power panel replaced - it was broken out of the box [it wasn't handled nicely in shipping, there was a huge hole in the box] but I had no choice as I had no power and it was the only generator I could find . Generac's warranty is pretty good so I don't expect to have any issues.

We had one of these in the race tow rig. Served us well and would run on quite all night on a tank of fuel if the A/C was not hauling A$$
We slept in the rig at multiple day races.

I got mine used. Friend owned it and had not ran it in 3 years or so. Battery was dead and it would not start. Got it for $200 and a few favors.
New battery, pulled and cleaned the Carb, new plug and an oil change. Ran trouble free for 6 years. Guy that bought it still uses it.
Worth the money.

Don't have Generac. We have the Honda 3000 and an older Honda 5200. They are expensive but I love them. The 3000 is super quite too. I had brought it home this summer when we lost power and ran my ac, computer, tv and directv.

 

[GLOCKMAN23C]

Ahh, that's better. Belly full of pizza and my driveway is clear. Howdy all!

 

[db1959]

I'm glad I didn't have to pay for the Hondas though, benefits of working where I do

 

[MrsGungho]

At first I read that wrong. I thought you cooked and cleaned the boys.
