With budget cuts and layoffs in the future at Northern Pine Regional High School, I knew I had to do something to protect my job. I realized that I could save the school money on electricity by bringing in a Diesel Generator for my classroom. I quickly went on Amazon and found the 180 KW Northern Pro Open Diesel Generator. I ordered it and within a few days had it installed in my classroom. I hooked it up to all of the lights and computers. When the children came to class I turned it on to see how it worked. Perfection! No more electricity bills from Room 209! The children complained that it was too loud. I told them that it was because of selfish brats like them that the environment is in such bad shape. Since it is impossible to be heard while the generator is running, we have instituted a new policy in my classroom. It is called the "Children-Learn-Better-With-Loud-Noises-That-Prevent-Distractions" policy. No more talking to friends class, no more questions, no more complaining, no more nothing.

This baby simply does not deliver. Does it look mighty? Maybe to some. But I ordered this and was first VERY dismayed to realize that I could not operate this baby remotely as I had intended. I had it dropped off at my friend Stanley's house and then went and stood around the corner (about 48 feet away) and tried to fire it up...no such luck. The remote stop/start is sold separately for another few thousand clams. No worries there, but it took forever to arrive and was a complete disappointment in trying to scare Stanley and his family when I was trying to wake them up with this thing at 3 am from far away.

Then, the power. Couldn't even deliver the goods to my 7500 sq. foot house (and appliances and other goodies therein). What a waste. Boxed it back up, called up Kip from Consolidated Freightways and back to Amazon it went.
