The weather report from the day before already had me worried. Heavy storms had been foretasted and last year we lost electricity for a full two days. After that happened I purchased two new cheap portable generators to be certain that if it ever occurred a second time we would be prepared. Problem was, I couldn’t remember where I had put them and the storm was already on us.

I have got to discover the portable generator. Everyone go to the bottom floor, I’ll be right there, as soon as I find it and get it started. Ok sweety, please hurry. (kisses for everyone) Running towards the shed I could feel the storm going this way. Off in the sky line, brown and magenta, odd reds and greens twirling together. It was about after four in the afternoon and it was literally pitch black outside.

I fumbled through the stuff that was spread out everywhere, mumbling under my breath about how I should maintain a cleaner storage. All I could think was, please protect my wife. Ah there it is,the portable generator. Now where is the petro can, I know it’s full, I just filled it yesterday, and I haven’t used it since then. Oh wait the whatchamacallit should be full. Yes it is.

Great! okay, now pull the cord, and plug this power strip into it and we should be finished. This electric start portable generator is wonderful, I am so glad I finally got this thing. (It roars to life) Ok, plug this in. Whala! Ok, where is the large house plug? There it is. Plug it in. Ok! Alright then, back to the family!
