We do have a generator, a Honda EU2000i. Very quiet, takes 3 pulls to start, runs all night on a fillup. I'm powering two freezers and a refrigerator in rotating 6 hour shifts. It won't run the well pump, of course, and the pool pump isn't important enough. The genny also runs the UPS into which I plug the Mac, monitor, router, and modem and it's charging the cell phone, MacBook, and the iPad. So I'm not entirely without power. I have plenty of drinking and cooking water (stove runs on propane). The weather is mild today, A/C or fans not needed.

What I really really need is a nice long shower. Pool is too cold to get in, brrrrr.
