The news report from the day before already had me scared. Bad storms had been predicted and last year we lost power for a full two days. After that incident I purchased two brand new portable power generators to make sure that if it ever happened again we would be prepared. Problem was, I couldn’t recall where I had stored them and the storm was already here.
I have got to locate the portable generator. Everyone get to the bottom floor, I’ll be right there, as soon as I find it and get it working. Ok baby, please go fast. (kisses for everyone) walking fast towards the garage I could smell the storm headed this way. Off in the horizon, charcoal and blue, weird reds and greens twirling together. It was just after four in the afternoon and it was literally pitch black over there.
I fumbled through the stuff that was flung everywhere, mumbling under my breath about how I should maintain a cleaner shed. All I could think was, please protect my wife. Ah there it is,the portable generator. Now where is the fuel can, I know it’s not empty, I just filled it last week, and I haven’t used it since then. Oh wait the whatchamacallit should be full. Yes it is.
Nice! okay, now yank the cord, and plug this power bar into it and we should be finished. This electric portable backup generator is great, I am so glad I finally got this thing. (It roars to life) Ok, plug this in. Whala! Ok, where is the main house plug? There it is. Plug it in. Nice! Alright then, back to the family!
