The power outage started at 9AM pacific time here in CA and the Electric company said the estimate to fix it is 11 PM.

It is presently about 8 PM and I am on the Computer courtesy of the Harbor Freight Generator that I have running the Refrigerator, one light and the Computer of one of the 13 am electrical outlets on the Generator.

I bought the Generator over 8 Months ago and had only tested it briefly one time. This is the first time using it for anything serious.
I can't say which one I bought as the generator is out in the garage But, it is a 4 cycle one not the 2 cycle.
If someone is interested I will post the what Genet I bought tomorrow.

Unfotunately the gen set is a little noisy even with the garage door mostly closed.

I also saw something rather odd when I walked around the corner. There is a Telephone Pole with an Electrical Box. The box is partly opened and on top of the box is a small very quiet Generator running!
I am speculating that there is someone that needs some eletrical medical equipment to run all the time and that the Electrical Company installed the Generator to keep the Medical Euipment going but that is just a guess.
