This is what's going in my 18kW Generac when due in a couple months(as well as my '66 Bronco this fall)

Here's a clean looking 2011 Fusion 2.5 with 6spd manual. Under 100k mi. A tad over budget at $5900 but those 2.5's are tanks & with the manual, should be a bit more peppy...

Yes. For both of my grandparents. They wanted no formal funeral & wished for a small select group of friends & family to be in attendance to spread their ashes off the coast of Morro Bay. There was just over 20 of us there, scattered from 4 different states and likely the last time we will be in...

CA has imposed this nonsense on itself. Banned pipelines coming into the state, hasn’t granted a water permit to drilling companies in several years(this way they can advertise that they never banned oil permits but it’s not possible to pump without the steam injection), purchase Chinese owned...

For thee and not for me.

Agreed

Bought a custom pair of Whites Semi Dress back in 07 or 08. Vibram soles. They’ve been resoled once. Break in took much longer than my Danner work boots but once broken in, they’re like an extension of my foot. Great boots.

This is good advice to start your troubleshooting. For something very easy, after above has been verified. I’d be curious if the 120v circuit the coffee maker is on is supplied by an arc suppressing breaker(they usually have gfci outlets & a green sticker in the breaker). I’d also be curious...

Vacation in NW Oregon regularly. Mostly Astoria & Gearhart. Will be heading to Florence next down on the central coast.

For power system protection, plc(power line carrier) & copper are more reliable than fiber. Not as fast & fiber has allowed new high speed reclosing but the comm issues are constant. Doesn’t matter if the fiber was owned/installed by AT&T, Verizon, public utilities or the state. They all have...

People always think these ideas are good until they come back to bite them. During power outages, cellular networks become overloaded. Fiber runs also aren’t as reliable as one would expect. I experience fiber outages daily at work. Some interrupt remedial action schemes (load shedding)...

You might be able to apply for a partial refund on the gas due to the outage. PG&E Will compensate for hotels, this would be cheaper compensation so maybe give it a shot. I haven’t had an extended outage yet (past a few hours) so haven’t had the opportunity to try yet.

Ha, mobile link app to the rescue. 18kW Guardian G0072269

It’s the 18kW air cooled. V Twin. I should remember the model & engine but haven’t racked up enough hours for a service yet so just haven’t pulled the manual out.

I’d have to read the manual again tbh. I browsed it when I got it last year but I’ve slept since then 😉

I’m watching the hours on my generac for just that. Cummins & Kohler never returned my calls or emails so business went to generac. Mines too loud & I wish I’d opted for a water cooled unit. Live/learn.

Bad part is that regulation the EPA (and other bureaucracies) push out have impacts on industries they don't regulate, such as the BES.

What does Enron have to do with Brown/Blackouts or supply issues? It doesn't. Many of the issues on the BES are caused by regulations imposed by bureaucracies like the EPA that don't study impacts or even consult FERC/NERC or industry prior to implementing.

This is not a true statement. People should make use of the links I posted on the 1st page and do some actual research into the BES.

Underground cables are also limited in transfer capabilities due to their excess capacitive reactance. Extra reactive resources are required, voltage control becomes more difficult. Expense is astronomical. Also, as stated, restoration times are much longer as cables aren’t allowed to be tested...
