 Well. First time the generator and gas storage has been implemented. 2 freezers and 2 fridges are A-OK with no power since 2AM. Used water stores to water the chickens, ducks, turkeys and bunnies. Fixed the down fence. Rain catchments for toilet flushing. Have a gas stove so no issues there. Thanks @jackspirko you jerk. A little preparation goes a long way. I am officially hurricane resistant. #prepping, #hurricane, #survival https://image.nostr.build/86cb3390e036a1642419b25c7b56d6e70780345ef78e0ddc96e6498d3ebf6ac5.jpg  
 Yep. I’m running the generator in cycles. A few hours on then a few off. I can monitor freezer temps electronically. I have a little over 40 gallons of gas stored not including what’s in 2 vehicles. I’m guessing I could go around a week if I had to. 
 Looks like I’m suspended from Twatter again. This is why “free speech absolutionist” Elon is never getting any of my money.

 Paid $150 for this generator from some gated community type feller. Had only been used once and now a few years later, it just won’t start. Of course, gas had been left in it. Carb needle was gummed. I just bought a $30 new carburetor. So, I put $170 in it. They are $800 retail. It’s basically brand new. 🤘🏻💰#resouceful,

 Woops. 😂

 Been doing rabbits for a year now. It’s done miracles for my garden beds and compost. They make great meals and the wife made herself a scarf from furs. #permies #homesteading #selfsuffient #rabbits https://image.nostr.build/fe7b0a9e0c77555dcac120626857c7675440e4eae4ca488e9988f829d7d6b5f0.jpg  
 Looking back at our first 2 ducks. They were a surprise the wife picked up while I was on a trip back to PennsylTucky. This is the day they were freed to explore the yard. Daffy and Daisy turned out to actually be Daphne and Daisy. Now, they are laying us eggs … wherever they want

 They are entertaining. Less cooperative than the chickens but I respect them for that. Lol 
 Not a bad haul. We’re getting better every year. #grownostr #garden https://image.nostr.build/a28bdc233141b932a1396ae82a7707a225cae955b55c9335c22d02025b5a50bf.jpg

 I’ve been giving mine an extra hour and a half of light before dawn and again after dark in the winter. Been working well now for 3 years.
