For power outages, these little jump starters can really be handy. The smaller ones aren't very good at starting dead cars but they have features like USB outlets, lights, compressors. If no USB, a 12 volt to USB car adapter will work in most of them.

Yep we have one of the bigger ones that will jump a car battery and has all the outlets. Downside to it though is in a long term outtage I would have to stick it outside. When it starts running low on power a vary loud very piercing alarm goes off and there is no way to shut off the alarm until the damn thing is near fully charged.

I cant stop passing wind..

Always better to pass it around than to keep it to yourself!! Bloating ain't pretty!

As for vaping, weather and backups....

Had frost 6 days out of 7 this past week, so yes, it gets cold down here too.
I just got in 235 ml of Spurburry from MBV as well as some other ones... I have plenty of DIY and batteries.
I have two mechs 4 ego-style, 2 Cylapix and 2 SIDS.
I have solar chargers and a Bio-lite stove.
I also have a newspaper BBQ that puts out lots of heat. Candles, lamps, etc...
Even if overload blows transformers throughout central FL, I will be good.

I've lived in all sorts of climates mad areas from PA to FL and even ice storm prone TN.
From cities to farms... I've learned to be prepared even if nothing is expected!

Yeah, the individual design elements of the 35 are small enough, there would be little lost by putting it on a tube. I also added 208 to the wishlist.
The 88 is elegant, but I am not elegant. I am a blue jeans and t-shirt person, from purple to almost orange and all intensities between. I think 208 will be the winner. Maybe.

So we had a bad chimney fire today, and the fire department wouldn't let us go back in, but they were super nice when they got our meds about also getting my pvs (and chargers) and juice. And, one who was a smoker had lots of questions about how it works, so I may have gained a convert. At least one positive out of the deal.

I only liked this one because of the friendly fireman. That had to have been a scary situation. I hope there wasn't to much damage.

Won't really know how bad the damage is until tomorrow. Not so much scary as frustrating, since it was on top of a really bad year. Right now the main issue is being hungry, since our car wouldn't start, so the red cross and fire department got us to a motel but the only restaurant in walking distance was closed and there is no delivery. One disadvantage of small town living.

Seriously call some churches and the salvation army, they will come through with a meal at least in most cases.

Edit: ANd if there is a dominos or papa johns in town they WILL deliver to a hotel or motel if you meet them n the lobby

Thanks all. It's not something that I can change, so I don't let it upset me. Stuff happens, and it could have been much worse.

We were all warming up in the ambulance and the crew was having fun playing with their new equipment that lets them test carbon monoxide levels. The only person with a high level was the smoker, so that may have spurred his interest. Especially when the EMT was explaining the normal levels for smokers and non-smokers.
