Bought something that was going to ease your worries, and when you needed it, you found out, you didnt have all the parts of the puzzle. Well to day high winds power off and on several time then off! OH BOY I GET TO USE MY NEW GEN SET !!!!!! Now I had it running braking in the motor on some 110volt stuff in the garage, and I have to say it ran well. NOW like I said the power went off, drag it over to the garage door plug the jumper into the breaker box, and yes I know back feeding is bad juju, and try to plug the twist lock in. NOPE wrong twist lock, I made the rash assumption it was the same plug but nope it is an L 14-30 not the 20 amp, grrrrrrr !!! So tomorrow is a trip to lowes or home depot or amazon for a plug and the jumper is #10awg so we are good to go there. Power came back on and I am bummed I couldnt play with the new toy
Have you ever
- Thread starter skeets
- Start date
...and when you get home from the Borg you will discover you forgot to buy something you needed to finish the job....
Well Lowes didnt have the plug I need, HD didnt have one, I even tried RK and TS just on the odd chance they might have one, nada. So I guess amazon is the way to go, ahh well so much for trying to keep your money local.

In addition to the above listed problems, my stuff keeps migrating 150 miles from my place in the lowlands to my place in the highlands.
Generally, if I can't find it here, it's up there, and vice versa.
Needed a staple gun this past week; I have two hand operated, one electric, and a hammer tacker.
Not one is here. (wasted 90 minutes looking)
I'll lay odds they are all up north.
I must be getting senile.
