    Looks like Bacong is safe to but never know. Wondering why on a Saturday its getting more frequent. Maybe the malls are wanting a quick surge of cash.

    Yesterday night i was all set to watch the Wimbledon mens semi finals, because of the time difference the first match with Rodger Federer did not start until after 8pm, it was a great match but very long so the second match with Andy Murray that i really wanted to see did not start until around midnight.
    All was good and Andy was cruising to victory when 1.40am brownout Arghh Arghh Arghh no no no.
    I thought to myself don't panic it will be back on in 5min but no, 20min later power back just in time to see Andy signing autographs.
    UNBELIEVABLE !

    It's more fun in the Philippines (is it ?)

    On the Facebook page it didn't mention anything beyond the Siaton-Zamboanguita schedule. A neighbor called Noreco 2 and got the word Sibulan was included so we were prepared. Some areas in Dumaguete didn't lose power. We had a generator here at one time was so noisy that the neighbor complained while we enjoyed the internet and air cond and lights while they sat in the dark.

    I now have a smaller one here that hasn't worked and it is like a leaky roof that you only think of when it rains. :smile:

    What size was it that it ran the aircon too? Was it gas or diesel?

    It is a 5000 watt. We moved it to the farm to use for construction tools. I said SILENT on it but the noise number was about 97 db. It had a 10 hp diesel engine.

    The one we have at the house now is a 3600 watt gasoline that was poorly maintained by the previous owner. Have never got it to work because the previous owner didn't know how to shut it down properly and the carb is gummed up from sitting between brownouts. I've just procrastinated from hauling it down to Omega.
