Friends, I posted this under the thread that FH started about backup generators. I thought it important enough to re-post as a new topic:
WORD OF CAUTION! Aside from all the good ideas here about backup generators, I want to offer an important personal experience of mine.

It's been foggy this morning and I put my little riding job on hold until it clears up. So what to do, to kill a little time? YouTube, of course!!
In an email communication with my sister-in-law from Germany, she directed me to check out the Dire Straits song, "Ticket to Heaven"...
For many years we've used a home built sled to move a newborn calf, with the anxious mother trotting along behind. It has worked well either attached to a saddle horn or behind a 4-wheeler.
Unfortunately the years have taken it's toll on it. It has been upset, bent up and broken up so many...
Watch as a bird lands on the guitar as a Bluegrass Band is playing. The singer stops playing the guitar but strokes the bird as the music continues on and he keeps singing!

This article is about a military hero that grew up near here. I knew him as a kid in high school but have not seen him for many years. His family lives in the area. This is more proof of what our service men & women do each and every day for freedom...
Whitney Houston, 1963-2012. Her 1991 Super Bowl rendition of our National Anthem stands as one of the most memorable performances ever. Subsequent efforts by others have at times embarrassed themselves and angered those of us who consider this anthem sacred. It takes us back to another era...
to the Super Bowl!! I couldn't be happier for a great western Nebraska kid. His dropped ball on the kick-off return made me sick, but he redeemed himself on the next one and he nearly scored a touchdown against the great Ray Lewis. Brady did just barely enough to get the win. For Danny's...
I received this from a friend this morning. The video has some breath taking scenery and skydiving like you've never see it before! This is amazing.

This video clearly illustrates the debt crisis in this country. It might be more appropriate in Political Bull but I chose to put it here.

On this Christmas Day, it is important to think of our troops and what they have sacrificed. This video is excellent.

I want to remind you of a deadline approaching for those wishing to express thoughts on a proposed rule from the Department of Labor that could have far-reaching effects on the...
I doubt that any of you would remember that I have a son who played football for BHSU at Spearfish, SD. I posted something about it here, back when he was a freshman in 2007. He had a great career as a 4 year starter at linebacker. He was named to All Conference honors after both his Junior...
My plans to meet Faster Horses and her husband, Mr. FH had been developing for ten days or so. I had a window of opportunity to take two mares to Piedmont, SD for breeding this week. The weather and other complications prevented me from doing it on Monday or Tuesday but Wednesday dawned a...
An Irish man and his Irish wife were in an Irish Pub, drinking beer.
The man suddenly said, "I love you, I really love you."
The wife asked, "Was that you or just the beer talking?"
The man said, "It was me, talking to my beer."
