The news report from the night before already had me alarmed. Bad storms had been foretasted and last month we lost power for a full three days. After that incident I purchased two brand new portable generators for sale to be certain that if it ever occurred a second time we would be ready. Problem was, I couldn’t recall where I had stored them and the storm was already here.

I have got to find the portable generator. Everyone go to the downstairs room, I’ll be right there, as soon as I discover it and get it going. Ok baby, please be quick. (kisses for everyone) Running towards the garage I could smell the storm headed this way. Off in the sky line, charcoal and magenta, odd reds and greens spinning together. It was right after three in the afternoon and it was virtually pitch black outside.

I fumbled through the stuff that was flung everywhere, complaining under my breath about how I should maintain a cleaner storage. All I could think was, please protect my wife. Ah there it is,the portable generator. Now where is the fuel can, I know it’s half full, I just filled it last week, and I haven’t used it since then. Oh wait the whatchamacallit should be full. Yes it is.

Great! okay, now yank the cord, and plug this power bar into it and we should be finished. This electric portable power generator is wonderful, I am so glad I finally got this thing. (It roars to life) Ok, plug this in. Whala! Ok, where is the large house plug? There it is. Plug it in. Nice! Alright then, back to the family!
