@glitterbag,
we were without line power till almost 5PM. The Generac was a life saver because we had AC in what turnd out to be not a comfortable, but rather a steamy hot July 4. Therefore Our entire town nd the country side , on this holiday, went AMISH. (It apper that very few local people have installed Generacs (or other brand gennies).
All picnics were postponed because most of our friends who were gonna be cooking (even those with gas ovens) did not have ovens that worked. (we use gas but even gas stoves and ovens use line electricity for operation of their ignitors)
SO we stayed home and ate uncelebratorily, (apparently that is NOT a valid word according to my pesky on-line spelling dictionary, who Ive named "Fuckhead"),
We did get a "raincheck" from a neighbor , who is known far-and-wide as a real great rib cook, so apparently we will now celebrate the 4th on the 8th.
It was rather quiet around here, usually on the 4th, our sheep are in high -holiday panic mode from all the surrounding firework bombs. Not today . Today was quiet, hot, threatening, with an almost oily humidity if you go out.
I took my little Sprite out for a brief top-down run. That was a really stupid idea. I lost a ballcap and the whole ride was like driving into an annealing furnace
