Ok, I just got back home from Harbor Freight. I bought a Predator 2000 inverter generator as a supplement to our Generac 6500, and I have a question. Somewhere lurking deep in GD there is a GIANT generator thread. In that thread, someone posted that you can buy some type of adapter so the Predator can operate from an external 5 gallon can. Where can I buy this adapter if anyone knows? Also, do you like your little Predator 2000? Have you had good service out of it? https://www.ar15.com/forums/general/Harbor-Freight-Inverter-Generators-NOW-OFFICIAL-BUDGET-GENERATOR-THREAD/5-2032324/ |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
the system is most likely going to be a tropical storm, when it hits florida. the local media are all in hurricane hysteria mode, telling everyone to prepare for the worse 
scary stories sell. I know, some tropical storms cause problems, like ts faye did, but I don't see much from this one, except possible tornados |

I've positioned myself in the storm's path in order to provide early warning to the rest of you... we are now in Abaco in the Bahamas. Winds should arrive Friday night and the main storm be over us by Saturday morning.
Power usually goes out here once a day for an hour or so under sunny conditions, so we'll see how this goes. Will stick around for a while afterwards should people want aftermath reports...

As long as it stays a TS, I will still fly out Monday morning for Barbados. Assuming my flight doesn't get canceled. If it does, I have a charter as a back up. Hope I don't have to burn that cash though.

If we get hit hard by any storm, I will have water in my living room. I'm not even in a flood zone. Family had a heart attack two streets over last week and they had to fly him out. Couldn’t get ambulance in.

If you go there, or plan on it, PM me. I’ll give you some stories to ask them about. Super nice people, literally helped shape my outlook on life. And yes the best diving in the Abacos is around manjack. Last time I was on their porch:  View from the Bahama house, Green turtle.  We fly into Treasure, then take the Bolo over to green turtle. We have a boat with Donnie over on green turtle. @edwardavila |
