Sorry it took me so long to respond. My company sends some of us to to a convention in Las Vegas every couple of years and it was my turn to go and I thought I would have to stay home because of the power
outage but power was restored just in time.
Roark, yes it is amazing how it goes from being a time wasting obsession to something no civilized human should be without.
The only trouble is right now it's about 1/8 mile from the house and cell phone reception is intermittent so if she wants something she has to come and get me.
If I move it to the house it will just be a yell out the back door.
I've already been through the teenage daughter thing (twice). Now I have a teenage granddaughter. revenge is sweet
I hope people learn from this and are prepared a little. Hurricane Ike came through here last year and knocked out power (for some up to two weeks) and everybody run out trying to find and buy a generator.

Scott Thanks for the info on the governor modification. Right now it runs smooth but I haven't had enough load to tell what it is going to do. I would make a WAG and say the well pump doesn't have over 10 to 12 amps
on startup and less on run. When I plugged it up it didn't even bump the governor. I would like to get a good load on it to make sure the cooling system is going to be adequate and so on.
"Hey Honey,that's really smoking" My wife's saying is usually "honey is it supposed to be doing that".
Seems almost everybody's power is back on so all's well on that front.
