A LOT of good stuff deleted -  but Farmer can I ask you one question: did
you get your medicine today?

I'm feeding my shop off a 50 amp breaker and backfeeding the house through
it when the power goes out by my generator. We can't run the electric oven &
we don't wash clothes but for lighting, gas furnace, etc. it works fine.
