[AT] lost--generators

[Ken Knierim]

I have a 13KW Wards/Winco PTO generator I use to power my welding gear
(grinders, welders, chop saw, etc) that could be used to power the house
A/C if necessary. I've used an old Honda to power up computer and network
systems (through UPS's) and have an old Onan I'm setting up for
