I have the Bluetti 100 on my return pump. I think the longest outage we've had is around 6 hours, most are under 3 hours. I thought about putting the ATO on it as well but haven't done it yet.
Did you get a Black Friday discount ?

Ok, I have a quandary Luis, I’m watching a series Startup. It takes place in Miami. The main character is Cuban and she is having a Heineken with her father. What’s up with Miami Cubans and Heineken? I thought it was just you.

yeah. did the EV drive this year. basically hopped a few Wallyworlds for charges. Need to try the Tesla charger at some point. Lost power at home while away but I think it was a glitch. Only microwave and Oven were tripped. But returned to a battery generator I ordered on my front porch for future away holidays. They had a good deal on Bluetti 200 at $699. 2073wh so I need to check the rest of the tank stuff but I measured the main pump at 53.9w. I figure maybe just plug the main pump and ATO in. Most outages are less than 8 hours so that will more than cover it.
Man im glad nothing happened to the tank. I made a decent turkey that I injected with zatarain's Cajun butter. It Tesla? best oven baked turkey so far.

What's top speed on the tesla?
 
I couldn't decide which video to post, so I just added them both. The tank glass is dirty, and several corals are grumpy or knocked over. I dont post videos lol

Every time the ATO turns off, it runs a bit when it turns back on so I figured it would be worth it. I really don’t think lights and heater are needed for the amount of time most outages last. For those it’s fire up the Generac portable.

Mustang. I don’t think it’s been over a buck 10 but that’s only to pass the slow pokes. It’s shocking how fast it accelerates at high speeds.

 It's Heineken but light, so it doesn't really represent me lol

I don't know what the deal is, maybe it's because it's the best 😉

Nah, jokes aside, I know cuban people who don't like Heineken and drink Modelo, Becks, Stella (my favorite for a while but something changed in the taste and I stuck with Heineken ).

+1, except I don't have a generator.
