the wife is easier to get along with if she has electric!
Isn't that the truth!!!!!!
My wife still has that frontier, camping mentality of, "We can get by". I've been wanting to upgrade by installing a whole house natural gas standby generator for a while but she keeps on hitting me with logical arguments against it. Now what's that about!!! She doesn't realize that logic has nothing to do with it but
whisper (she's right). As seldom as we lose power and for the short time when it does go out, it's really not worth it ... but it sure would be nice.
Besides, we never lose power at 2 o'clock in the afternoon on a pretty spring day. It's always in the middle of the night with a storm raging, rain or hail falling like shrapnel and bouncing 4 feet off the ground and I'm the one outside rigging up the generator.
You'd think that after thirty odd years she'd have a little more concern for my wellbeing.
