Made it, Big Power

So yesterday I was back at our branch office in Marco Island which was just remodeled. On Saturday I had most of the network connectivity issues sorted out so most of the day yesterday was spent just physically setting up desktop equipment, printers, and lugging stuff around.  I did not return to our main office until almost 4PM.  I was beat. I was too tired to even bask in the glory that I was finally at the end of a two year tunnel of non-stop projects which started with remodeling our main office, ripping out and replacing our entire back end software systems, redesign and launch of a new web site, and finally the remodeling of this branch.  Of course peppered in there were other smaller projects, just to make sure I didn’t have anymore than a week of normalcy.  It’s ironic that the start of tax season next week, which used to be the BIG thing around here is now looked at as a rest period. I am hoping I can enjoy some smooth sailing in the months to come.

Yesterday the new monster generator was delivered.  It is large both in size, at nearly 250 pounds, and capacity, supporting 7500 watts of continuous load, almost 2000 watts more than my current, 13 year old Troy Bilt model.  This Westinghouse unit also has cool features like an output/run time meter, push button start, and even a remote control for those days you really feel lazy.

Last night I was lacking the enthusiasm to fully unbox and set up the new power source but I did pull out the instructions to read them before bed.  Tonight after work I expect to complete the process and turn it over for the first time.  My plan is to give my old generator to the neighbor across the street if she wants it.  I know during Irma she did not have one so if that is still the case, getting one for free is always a good thing.
