Leslie, if you want to spring for a generator, I'll be happy to help with transport & wiring. I also have several 5 gal. gas cans. I'll also start looking to see if there are any closer and/or more economical generators.<BR><BR>

<DIV align=left><FONT color=#000000 size=2 face=Verdana> <FONT size=3>We cleaned out the fridge yesterday. I havent tried plugging the fridge into the 2000 watt peak generator that UPS delivered last night but it ran two PCs, the router/switches/cable modem and furnace with out much trouble. Kim is home today because school is canceled still, got her set up with the TV now that cable is back on. Drove around the neighborhood today and didnt see a single line crew, still lots of poles and wires down everywhere. My parents and brother in Waterbury both got power back yesterday (town plot and east mountain), but like i said havent seen a single line crew in overlook. Plenty of AT&T crews out there though..... </FONT></FONT></DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=3 face=Verdana><BR></FONT>
