Aren't they in NY? Not NJ

I have about 3/8th of a tank left in my truck , and I'm working 16-20 hour days everyday all week at work, and now with the stupid 3+hov restrictions at the tunnels it took me 5 hours to get to work yesterday. Crazy! It's not even worth me going home to sleep for 4 hours and come back, I'm camped out in the backseat of my car to sleep until I start another 16hr shift at 3pm. Conserving gas for the win! Damn it's cold in here!

The one on the corner of 18 & Maple by OBRPC ?

It took me 5 hours to get from the northbound turnpike toll in seacacus down to Weehawken . On a normal day it's a 4 minute ride, today - 5 hours, they are diverting everybody without 3+ more people into union city, it's an absolute nightmare.

Italian Job

Anybody have the scoop about Sunday at OBRPC ? I assume its off, but seeing if there was an official canceled

Unfortunetly your window to buy a gen is pretty much passed, people who are selling are asking AT LEAST double of retail cost, IMO if you don't absolutely critically need one just go ahead and rough it, buy a generator in a few weeks when the buzz dies down.

I spent about an hour on the road trying to get to work in Weehawken . EVERY Road from here to Hoboken / Weehawken is shut down, I couldn't get more than a few miles from my house. I called work before, it's a catastrophe . About 3' of the Hudson River is in our electrical substations , generator rooms, and ups rooms. Not good.

I haven't tested, but i'd guess around 8lbs

Still confused about the heads in fishtanks

I think it's to early to come to that conclusion, but if you really dont want to hang on to it for things like your sump pump ( if applicable ) throw it on craigslist or something, I'm sure there are people in need.

Or be smart enough to do it correctly

Correct, - If you backfeed to your panel the the ground wire will connect from gen to your main panel ground

True, it does not HAVE TO be grounded in order to work, but in the event of a sudden surge, lightning , shorts , etc - It'll most likely fry your electronics, generator or both. And I bet the first thing the Generator company customer service people will ask you when you call up complaining of a fried generator is asking wether or not you had it grounded. Again, Not required to work, most people do not do it - but it's a good idea/precaution.

Now we talking

If you ground something to a metal object that doesn't go to earth it will become electrified if something shorts out.

No , ground goes to ground, literally. You can tap off things like your outdoor hose spicot, maybe your metal conduit for your main electrical service, these are usually connected to your main service ground one way or another

Good advice, but if you have PEX piping, dont do this.

You'd have to shoot your guns in order for them to heat up Joe. O SNAP! just kidding love u

Metal rod into ground, thick wire. But, know 95% of the population probably dont ground there generators I dont see why homedepot or lowes wouldnt have the supplies you need right now

Joe, be honest - what % of your guns have you yet to fire?

I hope this never happens, traffic is bad enough over here and it's been absolute hell the past year or so with their constant road construction.

He did real good, and you failed to bring up the fact that your boy handed your ass to you on the score boards.

survey says LoL!
