Not sure a generator would like those temps, and sure won't fire up at a touch of a button and then walk away.

Tate,

You have a line on cheap ones around our neck of the woods?

Well,
I just got off the plane at Bush Intergalactic Airport here in Houston and it was 75 degrees and 96% humididity. I Got on the plane in Cabo San Lucas at 12:30 pm and it was a lovely 72 degrees and 46% Humididity. I wanna go back, but alas, being an A/C contractor, I might have to look for a new profession (maybe a fishing guide comes to mind). BTW went fishing Saturday and our boat bagged 8 marlins 3 yellowfin and 2 Mako sharks. All were catch and release except for the tuna and sharks.....
