Scared Without a Portable Generator

The news report from the day before already had me worried. Bad storms had been predicted and last month we lost power for a full two days. After that incident I purchased two new portable generators to be certain that if it ever occurred again we would be prepared. Problem was, I couldn’t recall where I had placed them and the storm was already on us.

I have got to find the portable generator. Everyone go to the bottom floor, I’ll be right there, as soon as I discover it and get it started. Ok honey, please go fast. (kisses for everyone) walking fast towards the storage I could feel the storm headed this way. Off in the distance, brown and purple, weird reds and greens spinning together. It was right after four in the afternoon and it was virtually pitch black outside.

I scurried through the stuff that was scattered everywhere, cursing under my breath about how I should keep a cleaner garage. All I could think was, please protect my wife. Ah there it is,the portable generator. Now where is the gas can, I know it’s half full, I just filled it last week, and I haven’t used it since then. Oh wait the thing should be full. Yes it is.

Great! okay, now yank the cord, and plug this power connector into it and we should be done. This electric portable generator is nice, I am so glad I finally got this thing. (It roars to life) Ok, plug this in. Whala! Ok, where is the large house plug? There it is. Plug it in. Yes! Alright then, back to the family!
