    Little one cut out just now. 13 min. Again, these batteries are due for replacement. Big one is going now with an estimated time of over 80 min without auger turning and 60 with. I guess I will let it run till it gets down to 30 min left and see how accurate it is with year old batteries.

    Seamless transition.

    No heat at all from either unit.

    I use 4Health grain free. I it a bland only sold at TS. I went to their web site and tried ordering it along with dog food. For some reason not known to me, it came up with no shipping charges. Did have state tax. So I ordered a two months supply. We do have a store in town, but I have to move the bags to and from the car. They are 30 lbs ea. for the dogs. When I get them with delivery, they are placed right at my back door. :thumbs:. My sciatica is acting up so lifting is to be avoided.

    My cat takes about 6 months to go through a 16 lb bag. She also gets temptation treats, mix ups. She gets her treats when I go for my 8PM pills.

    So I let it run for ten minutes. Estimated time left is pretty much the same as it was when it started. I can verify that the estimated times are fairly accurate with fresh batteries. I tested my original unit numerous times when I first got it years ago. Any way, I think if bogieb did the same as I with a 1500 and the APC she would get roughly an hour run time before the APC kicked on and shut down her Harman.

    Yeah, I remember seeing this now. My stove is 2009, meaning pre rev E so it wont work and is probably why I forgot about it.

    we get those treats for my cats. I buy them in big plastic boxes at Sam's Club. We go through a lot of them. I always open up the cat food and put the food in air tight containers. The dollar store has a lot of large screwtop containers that fill the bill for this. Odd, my cats won't eat people food. Only cat food. My dogs will eat most any people food.

    I go to the car wash way more than I used to. I now have a monthly pass for a really good cleaning. Amazing how my attitude about keeping the car washed changed once I started with the monthly pass thing.

    Very cool of you to test this out IHP, excellent info. there. :yes:

    I need to upgrade the 1000 unit here to a 1500 after taxes are done, which I'm working on now. Yay. Yippie. Hahoo. Thankful the TaxAct program is smarter than me, and transfers most of the drudgery from last year. :yes:

    Sn*w removal is done for today, 52 F outside in the sun, front porch roof has a 3" ice sheet on it, too dicey to climb onto today. Sn*w raked and shoveled 8 ft. back from the ladder, same w/ back roof. Sn*wblower saved me hrs. of work today, down to grass in the front path from all the runs over it.. pulling down snow from the roof, blowing, and repeat. Three sides of the house are cleared at least 3 feet around, the south side is sloped away from the house, not worrying about it for now.. Should be good-to-go for the warmer weather coming up.

    Stove is off for now, nice solar gain on the house today, will probably start back up around 5pm.. Back to taxes. :picard:

    I hear 'ya Will, but Betsy was with me shopping, and there is a certain 'ratio' of product (mine vs. hers) that needs to be respected, else I'd be spending all $$$ on Smoothie products, and none on food.. I know, I know, buy more Wine. :D
