It's beyond sad what the humans are doing to the planet.

I'm going to have nightmares again..lol.

To make it easy for ya, "dirty power" is not regulated very well and like noted, electronics have a fine line that they operate well on. Go outside of that fine line, they overheat and poof. Motors are another item that can overheat, draw more current than what they are supposed to and don't run well.

Forgot, it was on W5, probably able to stream it. It's disgusting what the gov't is doing to the wild stocks and the area water. https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwj2laDf4PPWAhUj5YMKHfJ7AB8QqOcBCCYwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ctvnews.ca%2Fw5%2Fw5-investigates-the-battle-over-farmed-atlantic-salmon-on-the-b-c-coast-1.3631634&usg=AOvVaw19ODwGLEBzBMoUgR6DZRqU

For those interested in the BC salmon farms and results.

Inverters are 12DC to 120AC volt electronically controlled. Non inverter generators provide "dirty power" not very well regulated in terms of sinewave and hz. Items that run off clocks such as microwaves, etc do not do well with dirty power. You get what you pay for, don't tempt the smoke Genie, once let out of the bottle, you can't get them back in.

Canadian tire should have it on the shelf by the boating stuff.

Just take note that some mfgrs don't honour warranty going to shop across the border.

It's a glue and sealant, not epoxy.

Serves me as a good reminder, I have to add a couple of cable holders to the back of the boat.

What Terry said, patience, small soldering iron, electronic solder, maybe some thin shrink tubes or liquid tape and shield.

Nice work.

Unless he is mechanically inclined to do a bit of maintenance, he would probably be better off with a NG genny, no gas to store or run every now and then. Honda does have electric start conversion units, propane or NG with warranties. I would probably go with a 3K, propane/NG puts out a little less power than regular gas. Start up draw on motor units such as furnace and water pumps may well over power a 2k unit.(known from experience.) http://www.genconnexdirect.net/honda_propane_modified_generators.htm

Nice pics, those 3 locos way up there would make me a wreck of nerves. Bridge looks sooo skimpy.

That fish colour is wild.

Another thought on wood. It's one of those things sooner or later that when water gets in it starts to decay. Unless you hermetically seal the wood, it's almost impossible to achieve, it will happen. I don't care if you use Valspar, varathane, epoxy, cracks will happen. Even the newer version of low VOC Thompsons water sealer is close to a waste of time. If you still have the old stuff it will last longer.

Geography 101.

Who the hell left the fridge door open again..

He must have good parents and mentors.

Sorry for your loss Cliff, thoughts are with you and family.

Hahaha, like he really cared about the licence in the first place.

Red ones first,

Man that was a real slow Karma lol.
