You may need some wet sandpaper to buff that one out, but I think she will be just fine. No one will ever notice, maybe touch it up with some 1000 fine grit and a bit of polish.

What I've learned over the years is that every electronic device ever made runs on a certain amount of, what I call "electric smoke". Once you let this "electric smoke" out of the device, its almost impossible to put it back in or refill it to the factory level of electric smoke. It appears the factory fill of electric smoke seems to be the highest quality as well. Also, the factory electric smoke seems to last the longest too.

Just my 2 cents of observation of electronic devices, motors, switches and computers that have lost all their electric smoke. Did you know that doubling the input voltage and amperage will not make computers, motors, etc run twice as fast? Doing this causes the electric smoke leak out quite quickly as well.

Thanks for the offer Sis but with my current life Ive decided to stick with a smaller unit since the only time we need temp power is when we are actually in the house during an outage. Besides, can you imagine the mess I would make having four cylinders to blow up?

Thats what I was telling S.TX.MEGA . I had never heard of that theory but I really like it.

LOL. Different subject--a couple of years ago we had a local who called 911 because he had glued his fingers to his nose. When they showed up, they busted him for also having a meth lab.

Tell you what, if you ever get to Central Illinois ( or I finally make it to Alaska ), we will kick the rods thru the sides of much Beer cans to properly send it off.

I feel like buying beer is the least I can do for the entertainment........

I was thinking Perkins, but you may be right. Especially about the dead deere part

You are correct! I had thought my dancing days were over for the winter. No bats until spring time, No snakes in Alaska just the piece and quite of gentle snowfall.
I never was a dancer until recent years. Ive become jumpy for some reason. Nowadays I start to dance just from the ice maker in the fridge when it dumps.

LoL! I dont usually dance after a few beers. No matter how much I drink I realize that nobody wants to see me dance. Plus, a couple of beers gives me the lag time to keep me from smacking my head on the hood of a car during a backfire and gives me that one second needed to keep from running into a tree fleeing from other dangers (like bees, falling pine cones etc).
That is why I will gladly tip a beer with anybody who is willing to visit me such as yourself. Its Justifiable preventive medicine.
