    No this is not a thread about flatulence! ;) We had a tremendous rain/wind storm last night that left 300k households w/o power!! There are only about 475k households in New Hampshire total!! My bro-in-law was supposed to hook up a generator for me but he never got around to it! :((

      A bloke I used to work for, had a generator. We worked in the Coach-house to his home, and when the power went out, he would disappear for ten minutes and the power would come back on. Then every half hour or so, he would turn the power off and check if the mains was back. It was several years before I found out that he connected it up by means of a double plugged cable. I.e. it had an ordinary plug on each end. One end plugged into the generator, the other into a wall socket... :omg:

                As long as the mains were disengaged power from the convenience outlet won't get back to the power pole. Indeed if the mains were clicked on the breaker either on the generator or on the circuit the convenience outlet would blow.

                  Ok. That's 66.67%. :)

                  Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest.
                  Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for...
