I have done all I can do to prepare for the storm in my MIL's house. Which means I got propane for the grill so we have that, and it has a gas eye, so I can boil water without resorting to building a fire. And I filled the bathtub so the dogs and toilets have water. Everything else we will suffer without.
What area did you grow up? I use to sell appliances and very few people called the burners "eyes" and they were usually from the same area of the US. First time I heard it, it was from an older black gal who said she was looking for a stove with "four eyes" I was 21-22 y/o and next level confused.
He’s named Bruce Power, AND he has a Can-Do reactor? The upbeat kids show that promotes positive thinking writes itself sometimes.
Foothills region of NC. Yeah, we have our own language. We pluralize gravel, it's gravels where I'm from.
There's a spring behind the house, too. Just remembered my truck has an inverter, it should run that stupid Keurig.
Might not. Kuregs and coffee machines have a huge draw. I’d be surprised if the truck could handle it. Might want to test it. I know because my Honda generator barely handles my espresso maker. That “fast heat” element is a bitch.
Or melt snow in a pot over a fire. It takes a few pots when there's a low moisture content to the snow. I've had to do that more than once.
I always chuckle when people tell me the bought a generator at HD, Lowe's, etc and expect it to run, the fridge, AC, lights, phone/laptop chargers, coffee makers, etc.
You're right, it probably won't, I think it's only 400 watts. The coffee situation is a huge concern for me. If the ice caves the roof in, I'd be ok as long as nothing falls directly on anyone's head and I can brew something resembling normal coffee.
Mine at home is 9000 watts continuous. I usually run a window AC in the bedroom if it's summer, some lamps, tv and the fridge. I'll unplug the fridge for a moment to make coffee or microwave something. Hell, I have to run all that to get the generator over the minimum recommended load, the manual said it would help.
FUCK TRUCK STOPS, AND THEIR EMPLOYEES. I've never seen a bigger bunch of people who need to eat a lead-sandwich in my life. It's like they go out of their way to hire the dumbest, rudest dipshits. From the lower level employees to the upper management, they always act like you're beneath them for having the audacity to want to buy their overpriced goods. Fuck them all in their fucking asses.
No, Flying J, but this applies to them, Love's, TA Travel Centers, and probably Bucees (I've only been to a Bucees once).
I think the only gas station I’ve truly missed living round the country was QT. That shit is locked down tight. I never understood Wawa love either.
Just FYI, the bartender lady at the Applebee's in Hinesville GA doesn't know what up means. They should have to pass a test
