Well I can't say that. The generator has been running for six days. I've lived in Florida for 33 years. I know the importance of owning a generator. As I drove around my block listening for other generators it amazed me at how many people don't have them. And of course now you couldn't find one if you wanted to. I also noticed the women all sitting around on their porches fanning themselves and watching men do all the work while they just bitched and complained about the heat. One had the nerve to tell me my generator is too loud! I just said hey, I need it to run my a/c! The look she gave me was priceless. I live for moments like that. All these women relying on men while complaining about them. I'm glad I don't have to live like that ever again.
