Thanks everyone! Prayers work!
It's Betty Lou's turn for the needed dental attention. Yesterday she had ex-rays done and a plan was made on how to go forward. She will get partials.Betty Lou and I both share some pretty dark pasts and didn't do the best in taking care of ourselves. We are now in a position to fix some of the neglect.
About 9pm last night the Neighbor calls. Her and her husband are Vegas and there 20 something year old son says there's no power. She's panicking because they're not home to try and fix the problem. So the wife and I get into the truck and slip and slide the 3/8 of a mile over there. It's been raining most of the day and our roads if you can call them that are slippery. Well we get there and I ask the kid where's the generator. He has no clue.🧐 They've lived there for around 6 months and they don't know where the generator is?🤔 So,we all start looking around and finally find it and sure enough it's not set to auto. I just push the auto button and it starts humming like it should and durn if the lights didn't come on. 😡 It was over cast most of the day so their solar couldn't keep up with demand. They've also got a wind turbine which puts out around 1000 watts of power and is probably why they haven't needed the generator until yesterday as it's been windy almost constantly and it was calm.
....I made the big mistake some time back in loaning out my 5x10 utility trailer to an individual who don't take care of his own stuff. What made me think he would take care of mine? He didn't crank the jack up and bent it badly. Then he totally ripped all the light wiring out of it.Today I replaced the bent jack with a new one and rewired the lights.

I would have asked told him he would have to pay for a new jack and wiring.

I am not a gambler so if I can't do without or replace something I'm not going to be loaning it.On the other hand, if I borrow something I absolutely take total responsibility for it.
OUTSTANDING WENDELL!

Why? I have been burned before.
On the other hand, if I borrow something I absolutely take total responsibility for it.
