Sounds great! Will you be sharing this at organic forums?

My friend and I run a Scrapbook Summit and this is our third year -- always on the first May weekend and falls on Nat'l SB Day. This year we have 107 scrappers meeting in the Berkshires for F/S/S at a great Inn. Always lots of fun and on Saturday it's pajama night!!! Becky

Oh let me think.....It is the same time as the Kentucky Derby. I usually don't go because my dh is at the Derby. I'm thinking it is in May. Our scrapbooking store has good specials and such. CM have all day crops with lots of prizes and fun. I ended up going this year and paying a sitter. My CM rep also does a fall all day crop..really fun and you get lots done. Jewels

" Sharing generators is fairly common in my community. " This comment is likely motivated by a desire to be argumentative. In places where power loss is more common than not, the suggested way to deal with a generator is to install a generator sub-panel. With this, connections are made to key circuits and a master switch off is provided to help prevent uploading of power into the dead grid connection. The generator is connected directly to the subpanel and it then controls which circuits are energized. In many homes, appliances are built-in and their power cords can't be easily reached. Such is the case in my house, as an example, with a built-in fridge and a separate built in freezer. Same with washer and dryer. Additionally, hvac equipment is often hard-wired and cannot be connected via a cord - this is also true in my house. For these reasons, people have generator sub-panels installed, the cost of which far exceeds the cost of a generator used to power it. Such generators are not shared.
