    Yeah, that’s all that’s needed. But I like the idea of having 2. They’re already wired in. Already came in handy, as the 1500w only lasted a few days. I’ve had them brand new for years. Like everything, just never used them.

    My Microwave trips my inverter. 1 out 7 times??? Not often , but it happens. Probably due to fridge starting. The fridge is always connected. But it draws under a 1000 at start up and like 60 or 80 watts running. It runs 10 or 15 minutes an hour? I don't think anything under 2k is good for a microwave or coffee pot, since they lie about the output.

    Yep, some really lie about it. Good quality inverter can handle a spike almost double the continuous rating, from what I see. It’s all new to me. Not a lot of solid info on it all. Everyone says pure sine. But I see they actually aren’t as efficient, drawing more juice. Might be cleaner power. Who needs it? No fancy electronics here. Just cheap appliances. Goes bad, buy another.

    What a rush to wake up to a blast from the past. The Jackson Five. Before popularity destroyed them.

    That sounds like 1970 prices. Might be time to visit the family out there.

    We are woke!!!! Due to alarmcat. I forgot to set the alarm. Got to get rolling.

    Tried a Love's chicken Waffle. Not bad, definitely not worth $4.

    Over slept by 2 hours.

    Southbound and down.

    I had to tell someone a lesson I learned when I was a kid.

    My grandfather had to wear a neck brace,one of those old ones with metal in it, and he’d hit you with it too.., but he had broken his neck in a construction accident, and walked with a cane.
    I came home, seen a piece of metal on the top porch step, it had three steps, then the porch, I was maybe 12-13, my thoughts was, “I need to move this, grandpa will come out and fall over it,”
    So I grabbed it to move it, and it was Hot!!
    I couldn’t even let go, it stuck to my hand, so I’m yellin’ and trying to throw it off me.”
    Grandpa come out, hit it with his cane, that knocked it off, then he said, “That’s what happens when you mess with something that don’t belong to you.”
    Then went back inside.

    Now, still, if I didn’t put it there, I’ll step over it.
