POWER WENT DOWN AROUND 8PM PST LAST NIGHT IN MY AREA AND IS DOWN ALL OVER THE SPOKANE AREA.
RUMOR IS THAT IT WON'T BE RESTORED FOR MANY UNTIL THIS FRIDAY.
I AM ON GENERATOR POWER RIGHT NOW AND RUN ON MY BATTERIES WHEN THEY ARE CHARGED UP.
THE SUN IS OUT FOR NOW AND CHARGING MY SOLAR PANELS AND I HAVE A CHARGER ON MY BATTERIES TOO.
ONLY WATCHING TV FOR NOW AND WILL GO ONLINE OCCASIONALLY TO GET UP TO DATE ON WORLD HAPPENINGS AND DO SOME POSTING.
DON'T WANT TO RUN MY BATTERIES DOWN. IT COSTS ABOUT $20 A DAY TO RUN MY 5000 WATT ONAN GENERATOR WHICH USES ABOUT A GALLON PER HOUR.
NOT SURE IF THE LOCAL GAS STATIONS HAVE POWER TO PUMP GAS. I HAVE 15 GALLONS FOR NOW WHICH SHOULD LAST FOR THREE DAYS IF I RATION IT.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE THESE TYPES OF BACK UP POWER SOURCES, YOU SHOULD GET THEM NOW.
HARBOR FREIGHT HAS A SMALL GENERATOR FOR $99 WHEN ON SALE. JUST DON'T LEAVE ETHANOL GAS IN IT WHEN NOT IN USE OR IT WILL GUM IT UP. RUN IT OUT OF GAS COMPLETELY WHEN THROUGH USING IT AND THEN PUT SOME SEAFOAM ADDITIVE DOWN THE FUEL LINE TO THE CARBURETOR AND CRANK IT OVER TO KEEP THE CARBURETOR FROM GETTING GUMMED UP.
