I have lost power so many times that habit left me. Nothing better than waking up to the bathroom light on. Having a generator for the freezers, water and lights is worth its weight in gold. Bought 2 bags of ice on Monday as I paid attention to the forecasts. Put those in the fridges so I could turn the genny off at night. Ran the genny probably 16 hours in 60 hours burned 6 gallons of gas. Food is great. Actually ran the pool pump yesterday so the pool is good although I had to add water today. Power is good
