Bill - Capt_StormExplorerJust got back from camping..lol.

- Mike_and_Kathy_ExplorerExcercised the generator under load (space heater) and ran the engine a bit too. Also emptied the water in the bottom bucket of my homemade two bucket dehumidifier. It's two used soap buckets, one inside the other. The top bucket has a bunch of holes drilled in half of the bucket bottom so water can drain from top to bottom bucket. I pour a pile of calcium chloride pellets in the other side of the top bucket. The calcium chloride absorbs water from the air, it runs out the bottom of the pile of pellets and thru the holes into the bottom bucket. Periodically, (monthly) I dump the water out of the bottom bucket and put top bucket back into bottom one. I don't bother changing out the pellets during the winter. Just dispose of them in spring and use fresh pellets in the spring. I bought 1 large bag of the pellets that are intended for removing ice from concrete sidewalks a few years ago and still using it. It's a lot cheaper this way than buying the small drying packets from RV or boat stores. I've used this technique for years in boats and never had mold or mildew develop in the winter.
