From Jan: More Adventures in Electricity in a stupid country run by Black Communists, crooks and fools…

(005875.811-:E-000062.43:N-AC:R-SU:C-30:V)   

I’m watching the electricity situation. It became weird here on Monday when I was without even the Internet. But on Tuesday, all the Internet was working fine.

I had a lot of lawn mowing to do and decided to tackle it on Tuesday. I have a small, but kick-ass electric lawn mower. I wondered what I would do if they did some rolling blackouts while I was mowing the lawn. I decided that I might be able to run the lawn mower with my little generator. It might be able to handle the load.

After 2 hours of mowing, the electricity was switched off. So I grabbed my little generator and switched it on and connected it to the house so it could charge some emergency lights while also running my fridge and more importantly, my deep freeze. I am worried that these fools might cause my deep freeze to defrost if they carry on like this. I have had friends and family complain about this in the Orange Free State where they had nasty outages.

Then I connected my little lawn mower to the generator to see if it would power it while it was also running the fridge, deep freeze, etc. It worked, and I was able to finish all my mowing!!

This is the first time I’ve powered my lawn mower with my little generator and I was delighted with it. I’ve hardly used my generator in recent years because I have some solar power. But my solar power can’t handle heavy loads.

I decided that with the state of things getting this bad, that I might well be able to haul out my little generator to do heavier work that my solar power can’t. e.g. Run the washing machine, tumble drier and even the dishwasher.

I also tried to power the garden blower today using my little generator. The blower uses a LOT more power than my little generator can handle. However, I used lower settings and tested it and to my delight it ran pretty well. So I was very pleased indeed.

I bought my little generator in 2008 and used it for the rare power outages until 2015. Then I began moving to solar. But I now have a new use for it as these power outages get very bad. I will use it like I say for things like washing my clothes, keeping the deep freeze from defrosting, etc. It’s capable of those tasks without being too expensive on fuel.

My goal is to continue functioning despite all these low level scum that have been FORCED upon us Whites here AGAINST OUR WILL.
