I have had a 48kw liquid cooled for several years now and in May of this year the controller died. We had a large lightening hit to the back of my property (lots of iron in the soil here) and STILL it is not working. I live in Central Florida and the dealer that WAS servicing it, took 3 weeks to get to the site to look at it, then a month and a half to even quote it and at that, they no showed on the repair.....TWICE

I called 3 other dealers in the area, all of which sent techs out to confirm it was the controller, and they all ghosted me.

I finally got one newer dealer to install the controller, but they cannot get the firmware loaded and today, the original dealer was supposed to show this morning (third appointment) to also replace the controller (I was just going to keep it as a spare and send them on their way).

This is VERY concerning, not having a running backup generator during hurricane season has given me serious doubts.

I have called Generac corporate who really were not totally helpful and believed that eventually the repair would be made.

Has anyone else seen support fall off for Generac? Is there an alternative out there for this? Is it just Florida?

Thank you!!

My first Maine Coon was a stray, he came to us during a hurricane and we let him into our home and he never left and soon was the center of our universe. He passed in April of cancer after only 12 years with us and we were completely devastated....

My wife surprised me with a 13 week old Maine Coon red male for fathers day and boy what a hoot this guy is. We have never had a kitten before, only rescues or strays that we adopted...

Now to my question.....feeding.....

Breeder fed him a kitten mix of raw meat (Ground Beef, Ground Chicken, Ground Beef Heart, Ground Beef Liver, Ground Chicken Bone) which I mix 2/3 part of the raw mix with 1/3 part of some canned pate with a little water to make a stew (per the guidance of the breeder).....its gone within an hour or so as he does his little drive by feedings.

I just noticed that since we got him Sunday, I will be out of the 2lb kitten mix by the end of or before the 1 week period. This will mean that he has eaten 3lbs of food in a week!!! He is a 4lb cat!

The vet says to feed him as much as he wants (clean bill of health), google says 10% of body weight per day. Not really sure how much I should be feeding this guy, but man he gets hungry and chirps and meows when the bowl is empty.

So, a few questions....

Is there a good rule of thumb for these guys when it comes to feeding?

Can I safely meal prep for him 1 week at a time and how is everyone doing this, if it is even a thing?

I appreciate everyone's input. His father was 25lbs and I do not want to stifle his growth, but do not want to over feed at the same time.
