Both are excellent Cheryl. (Although those y2kwomen can keep their waxed rutabagas all for themselves!)

I'm at that odd point in preparation where basics have been purchased (increasing the quantity continues) but parts and maintainance related supplies must be filled. It causes me to visit large home improvement and farm stores and go "Duh?" even though I'm standing there with list in hand. This stems from having rehabbed two houses and understanding how the best laid plans go awry when missing the wrong tool, part or expensive chemical item. So what exactly do you buy given various scenarios? Got me...

And bear in mind we are taking a very low-tech approach to this so as not to draw attention to ourselves. No big honkin' noisy genset for us to cause the utility company to come down on our case. (IMHO should the gird go down and homeowners fire up their gensets and a few improperly connected gensets fry a few linemen, that will be then end of genset operation for quite a few people. I think utility lineman may become an even more dangerous occupation in the year ahead.)

Hopefully this thread will get more active again and as we get down to the wire we can help each other close the gaps with ideas.
