    I bought a toolbox to mount my generator. You ever eyeball and poorly measure and convince yourself it will be fine? It’s turned into a bigger project than I wanted. And I just ate enough lasagna to be in a coma shortly. Plus my help is leaving in an hour.

    Here's a new word.

    Unistrut.

    Get most any electric supply house. Buy the deep strut, some beam clamps to mount the strut to your frame rails, and strut clamps to mount the generator to the strut. Finished in under 60 minutes.

    When I was at railroad school for NS, down in McDonough GA, there were three BBQ joints, and they were open on Sunday.

    I'd go there for lunch, and see parties of 10 or 15 people with a bunch of tables pushed together, all in their Sunday best, chowing down on heaps of BBQ'd meats.

    I asked one of the southern boys why that was. He said some of the Pentecostals fast from sundown Saturday, so after 3 or 4 hours in church, they're ready to EAT!!

    I don't know if that's true, but it seems plausible.

    I'll have to look that up.

    I only know "uni-strut" from car parts.

    You can build a parallel universe out of it if you want.

    And how pissed off am I supposed to be that I worked my way through college, came out with $10k in debt and paid it off and now I'm supposed to pay for the slackers that partied every weekend while I was humping boxes at Roadway Express?
    Furthermore, how about those who never went to college, but got a real job instead? They get to pay too.
    It just never ends with these people.
