Really sorry for your loss. Tough times. Saw photos you posted of your grandchildren. Seeing them will be better than the air show. Hope to meet you at anothre rally.

Re: TST TPMS New and Improved Wide Screen Color Monitor
I just performed the all important blowout test. I removed one of the sensors effectively simulating a sudden loss of air and here's what the new display looks like. I like it!

Re: Sandisk Cruzer Glide 64GB USB Drive
Thanks for giving me the benefit of the doubt. It really was just a question. The original post, with no background info, made it sound as though it might be something new for you. If so, I thought I’d throw out some other options but it looks like you’re covered. As far as photo storage goes, a flash drive would certainly work (depending on number and size of photos) but it’s awfully susceptible to loss if it’s the only place your precious memories are stored. Look into one of the cloud...

Re: Smarter Tools 2000iQ Generator
BigE, that's great that only one 2000iQ will run your A/C at 2600'! However, as you point out, altitude will impact it. While the specifics depend on engine type (2 cycle vs 4 cycle) and carburated vs fuel injected, a rough figure is about 3% power loss per 1000 ft elevation from sea level. It isn't exactly linear at lower altitudes, but when you get up to 6000-7000 ft, it is very noticeable. For example, my 2000iQ runs my 900W microwave (that's output in the microwave; the input power is...

Lets'say the microwave use 1200watts, on 120volt is 10 amp, on 12watts, it's 100 amp . If you use the microwave for 10 min, this will use 16 amp/hour plus the loss of the inverter. In 30 minutes , the battery will be dead.

An air conditioner draws at least as much amperage, if not more. We get the same end result. A short life of comfort, either cooking or cooling via the battery and an inverter.
