Last spring I put in a whole house generator system. After watching the mess in Texas because their windmills, and watching this administration wanting to destroy our coal run power grid I figured it is only a matter of time before it gets real. Costco had a 20kw generator with transfer switch in stock so I nabbed it, and put in another propane tank just for it.

For those that don't have new machines snow checked or even thinking about purchasing the latest models , go look at the sled forums .

They don't want to look or refuse to acknowledge that the supply chains for new isn't . Supplies are old inventory for builds and are depleting quickly .

I've been waiting for this machine since last year . Comes out of Utah but some major parts come from Europe . Why is that you ask ? Well America sold out a few years ago . 22 months is the predicted date , amphibious with a diesel . This is more than a toy for me , it's a vehicle of transportation .

The guys in the sled section refuse to see why their new rides have been very late dated or missing parts etc.etc.

That is really sad

No inflation going on around here , it's already here and it's just the beginning .
Ordered a internal transfer switch for the generator 10/23 $ 281.99
What I ordered and received , not even close , even though the paper work is correct .
Reordered , 11/3 $ 582.99

Yesterday I pulled the battery out of the laptop , $ 23.00 Amazon , won't ship to AK .
Called Best Buy , person from out of state , no help .
Went to Best Buy you know Geek Squad , they no longer order batteries .
Go to Batteries Plus $ 139.00 dead one is back in .

USB Android phone jacks what's left is under lock and key at Walmart , USB iphone jacks at all check outs .

****s getting weird and crazy and the way it's going there will be no preparing for .

The one world order is doing one hell of a job , doesn't matter if your left or right What the hell is going on with the shipping industry ? What part of UNIONS doesn't ring a bell ? Must be home eating cornflakes .
How about some corrupt bastard hanging out with his G7 clan while North America is at a stand still .

Wow.

To play devil's advocate, who buys 96%?
I find 80-85% to be the best, especially for grilling. How much was 80?

Someone is a stickler in this house about making sure we eat a particular way .
Guessing your a charcoal connoisseur , that takes a special touch I don't have . infrared does a really good job at searing the meat , traps in the flavor . Like 2-5 minutes flip 3 other side at about °650 pink to medium rare and I like big burgers .
Been a while since I've some of that beefalo north of you :)
I'll check on the price next time I'm in .

Look closely and see where that burger comes from, above the yellow .

I used to be a "just buy some patties and grill 'em" guy.
This year at a party I had one of the best burgers I've ever had. So I went and had a few beers with the guy grilling and picked up some pointers. Spent the rest of summer trying to become the burger master of the block!
