Stuff I Want

And I want that power in the form of a home standby generator…

And I want this because we have what must be the most unreliable electric power grid in the country in the Memphis area.  This is mostly because we have so many trees, very large trees in many cases, which tend to fall during storms and take the power lines with them.  This happens so frequently that I have the power outage reporting number on speed dial.

Still, with one of those GUARDIAN standby generators hooked into my house’s electric lines, I would hardly even notice a power outage.   With the ability to produce 16 kw – enough electricity to run 160 100 watt light bulbs and a 300 gallon tank of propane, this bad boy would power most everything in the house, except maybe the washer and drier, for days if need be.  It even comes on automatically which means I wouldn’t have to go out in the nasty weather to start it!  Best of all, I could offer hot food and shelter to the neighbors during the blackout.  I like my neighbors and $5,000 seems like a small price to pay to make them, and me, comfortable in an emergency.  Now if I can just convince my wife of that
