I believe my first post should be one in which I introduce myself to the forum. First, the choice of user name, "Old Canuck." As a Canadian of advancing middle age, it felt an appropriate choice. Although it is summer at present, we do get winter where I live. Not as harsh as they used to be when I was a kid in the 1960's, slogging my uphill both ways, up to my knees in the white stuff, as my parents would say. Still, even though they tend to be milder, they can and do throw you a surprise now and then. I remember when the province of Quebec was hit with an outage due to ice on the lines. Some ares were without power for two months! Talk about survival challenge!
Today I am doing research online about backup generators for the home. I live in a typical three bedroom suburban home, hooked to the grid. Today we were to have a planned cutoff from the grid while our local electricity provider was doing work on their equipment. I have been contemplating purchasing a backup generator for some time and I have nearly enough "store money" saved up to pay for a particular model I have in mind. For some reason the power has not yet cut, but I was thinking that if I had already purchased my generator, then I would be in a better position to keep the fridge and chest freezer running.
My search for a particular generator brought up this site in the search return. Although I have heard of this site prior to today, I have never belonged to a proper website devoted to this subject. I spent some time looking it over and see that it has an extensive number of threads, covering many subjects. As it is likely I will be spending many hours reading here, I think it would benefit me to register and participate.
Best wishes to all,
Old Canuck
Greetings from the Great White North
