Good for you, hope the rest get there before too long.
What a wonderful link you provide to the Canteen!
Tex....I hope your power is back on, you didn't run out of beer & you suffered no damages from the storm! Have a lovely evening all!
Hiya Connie! All is well. The beer was easier ta find than gas was for a bit tho! LOL
Thanks for the ping, and looking forward to this Sunday's race!!!
Dan Davis, director of Ford Racing Technology; Curtis Gray, president of Homestead-Miami Speedway; and Matt Kenseth, the 2003 NASCAR Nextel Cup champion and a contender for this year’s title, were all on hand at the race track today to help unveil the three pace vehicles in a ceremony before open NASCAR testing at the track.
“We wanted to select championship level production vehicles to pace the Ford Championship Weekend, and we picked three of the best,” said Davis, in making the announcement. “When you talk about vehicles that combine bold design and the kind of performance needed to lead the NASCAR field on track, these three vehicles are the place to start.”
Sweet!
I always thought the 68 Shelby (won a few trophies in one in my college days) and the 68 Talladega Torino were the nastiest lookin Fords ever built. I may have to reconsider that opinion.
Sounds like a good plan. You will need an external connection point to plug yer generator into the house.
I'd avoid the suicide cord tho, unless yer really carefull.
And that method is only practical if ya have a 220 volt dryer. Otherwise only half of the electric panel will be fed.
Since most generators are tuned to provide 125 volts of quasi electricity ya have ta be carefull of usage and application. Most electronic devices aint too keen on that waveform unless they use an AC adapter. A microwave oven will groan unless most of the big stuff is off.
A 5K watt generator will provide a max of 40 amps of power. So check the rating tags on yer appliances and add up the essentials. My suggestion is not to exceed 75% of capacity.
Never run the generator in an attached garage and never in the rain unless it's covered with an old card table or such.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for putting up this weeks race Steve.
Martinsville, crash bangfest!!
Here is one of Jr's friends ideas during the XM show last night. Jr was not there because they tape on Tuesday and he was in Homestead testing.
Just borrowed it from Norm, and though I don't often stop in and say hi, it is a great place to just lurk.
Hey Pete, I can't believe we were the only ones to take a flyer on Wahhhhrd Buuhhhrton this week. LOL
