Yeah, that would be a tough one. I would not be going anywhere with my wife that close either. And then you have a really little one still in August. I understand and good luck with the new one on the way.

Anyone have a small generator? Could come in handy.

I do. But there's electric hookups there too. What did you have in mind?

Anybody able to get me a ticket? 563-five-nine-three-0891.
If not, I'll try the mail lottery like 2 years ago.

Sorry Shane, can't hook it up this year. Hopefully someone else can.

Jim, what did you have in mind? I don't want to haul it and gas up unless we need it.

Last year Jim brought a good size tv, blu-Ray player and video games for the canopy. It was fun.

Yeah, if we have electricity, I'd bring the TV, again.

I think the TV's a bit less than that. ;)

Actually, I was just looking to see if I could just get away with using an inverter. That's what we did last year, but we had Travis's truck batteries. My car doesn't have quite as many amp-hours.

We have 3 lawn tractor batteries in the club and inverters. Not sure if enough juice.

If you like I don't have a deep cycle battery in a battery box. Don't know how big an inverter you need but I have a 200 watt. You could also use the honda generator. I don't plan on using it this weekend.

I have a battery I can take off my camper and the clubs inverters which I need to check watts on. I have a 2,000 watt inverter in the camper put don't really want to mess with pulling it out. Would that be enough to power a TV and one accessory for a bit? How big an inverter you guys think we need for that?
