wile E said: (quoted from post at 21:37:52 10/22/14) Actually right after the bank manager told me that they would not let me cash out of a CD if the power was out I got a small pile of 20s and 50s.
And......after an outage I would go get food and fuel quickly, not wait 3 weeks. If the power was out for 3 weeks I would want enough cash to be able to buy stuff without having to go to the bank to get money cause credit cards likely will not work.
You don't seem to get it guy. If there's a real large scale power outage there isn't going to BE anything to buy in 3 weeks. Everything will have been bought and later stolen when the riots/looting starts. We did 15 days in January 98 with no power. Had to post guards on the telephone relay station after "they" stole the generator to run it. They stole firewood. There was no power, no generators to buy, no fuel to buy at first, trucks weren't rolling with the travel ban. The travel ban meant you couldn't just hop int he car and drive around looking for supplies. That was a small regional outage. Take out the northeast corridor and you're screwed.
If you really start thinking about it the concept of buying after the problem has occurred is a losing proposition.

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
