So I go out this morning to test run my generator ....turn the key...stater clicks once...then nada...starts a 25kw Diesel Kuboto genny. Ran it nine days straight after Irma.

If you are in the path...check your gennys...I start mine on the fist of each month...and did on nov.1st.....it started fine...but not today...battery dropped a cell........trip to napa, $160 later.....genny is purring again...check your equipment folks!

Yeah - a good reminder actually for any living with similar weather conditions.

Interesting enough I was just looking at my tank this morning and thinking I could use some more rock...maybe this is a sign.

More storms this year than any other year in recorded history.....2020 has just been a real special year!

Went for my walk this morning...a lot of trees down, debris, but not to bad.....water was the biggie, lots of flooding in our area. Power went off a few times last night.....storm hit us about 1:30 am....we have power again! Did not have to start the genny.....

I'm trying to see if there is any silver lining in any of this but the only thing I can think of is that your rock is going to be like a aged bottle of wine. Every day and storm that passes your rocks are aging more and more turning into even more awesome rocks. More everything as the critters find refuge.

Never the less hoping the wind, storms, and other nasty things Mother Nature throws your way subsides. All the best!
