I've been thinking about getting a generator. So far I've talked myself out of it because the contents of my chest freezer cost less than a (nice) generator. It would have to run on a condo balcony, so it'd need to be one of those really quiet hondas, which are over $1k.

Given what power sippers chest freezers are you can just plan to run it for a few hours during the day, charge up a battery and be good. If you don't open it up when the generator isn't running, it'll stay cold overnight.

Also generator noise depends a lot on the wattage it's run at, so you could get away with a cheaper one.

Of course, that means giving up purposes for it other than charging batteries of portable devices and running the freezer.

Get a solid structure to baffle and redirect the sound outward, annoy any people on the receiving end of your balcony acoustics.

(Buckets are the actual worst and thawing the well is a big reason I don't plan on living anywhere without heat piped in to the block anytime soon.)

It'd be something like a honda eu220i. It has enough power to run a microwave so I at least have hot food. Neighbors in adjoining units would probably also plug in their fridges. But all that stuff is not worth $1200 to me right now, when balanced against the probability of a long-term power outage. I'm in the south peninsula / silicon valley, so we're not high risk.

That said, I certainly haven't regretted doing my earlier prepping, so maybe I should continue?

LA County now giving away free coronavirus tests to anyone, whether you have symptoms or not

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-04-29/all-l-a-residents-can-how-get-coronavirus-test-garcetti-says

I went through it last week when I had a fever, it’s trivially easy

keep in mind that the oral swab only has a 2/3 chance of detecting it if you have an infection, so if you have any immunocompromised people to take care of, take the test twice.

I was totally preparing myself for the ruthless cotton swab to the back of the nose\neck but self administered cotton swab is really a nice surprise. i'm booked for a drive through so hopefully its negative. Then i guess an antibodies test (which are NOT free).
