folks are not familiar with it. Anyway, I wouldn’t suggest you go down there, most everything is gone and folks are getting bitchy.” Monica advised and suggested they just bring the whole pan of BBq meat down to Dennis’s and separate it there and get some more ice for the coolers from him.
    With everyone in agreement they loaded up in Dennis’s GMC and headed to his house.

I Got Friends In Few Places
     
     
    “Hey Mom, I am back and we got company.” Dennis announced as he unlocked and opened the front door.
    His Mom, Mary had already been told that Charles and Monica were basically great neighbors and if she envisioned a old biker and his girlfriend that was the way they would look when Dennis brought them over.
    His mom greeted them warmly and began to happily chatter at Monica, glad to have another woman to talk to as Charles and Dennis brought the meat in and began pulling out plates and silverware for a meal.
    “Dennis, are you going to cook up some baked beans or something to go with that?” Mary said briefly separating herself from her conversation Monica.
    “Yea Mom, We are going to go outside and fire up the stovetec first. We will be back in a bit.” Dennis told her as he guided Charles towards the back door and what was serving as his outdoor kitchen.
    “Women are such a joy to behold when they first meet another, they somehow have a 100 things to talk about graciously as they send non spoken signals to each other” Dennis told Charles as they went to the back deck Charles had helped him build last summer.
    “That’s a fact!” Charles said grinning while watching Dennis point to a couple of cases of hot beer he hadn’t stored in his prep shed yet.
    “A barbecue is one of those unwritten rules or restrictions about drinking a beer before 5 that both sexes have agreed upon to sometimes make excuses for.” Dennis chuckled.
     
    Dennis wished he knew why the weather had been steadily overcast or rainy for days after the great grid calamity occurred. The effect of a nuke blown in the atmosphere might have caused some of this bad weather but he had no idea if it did or not. His problem now was that a lot of his batteries were not fully charged before the grid went down and even hooking up all his solar panels wasn’t going to change that until he had a few days of good sunny weather. Luckily he had a backup to his backups. In his preps he had a PRACTICAL PREPPERS™ CRANK-A-WATT™ generator. Crank-a-Watt™ is touted to be the World's only portable "Human Powered Generator" for any emergency or survival situation.

     
    He liked its portability and was always figuring out new ways too use its versatility. It so it was quite useful to Charge cell phones, lap top computers, rechargeable flashlights, tv's, ham radios, Ipads, boat batteries, power drills, walkie-talkies etc.
    It had built in 400 watt inverter so he could run small appliances like a blender, a mixer, electric can opener, food processor etc.
    Dennis favorite use for it was to Charge rechargeable batteries with a rechargeable battery charger hooked to it.
    “ Hey Charles you remember when you sat out on this deck and played organ grinder with that crank up radio of mine?” Dennis said remembering when they were partying and drinking a few beers and had the batteries on the radio run down. Dennis had had a blast comically cranking the radio to the music while it was playing to keep the charge up.
    “Yea man that was sure a fun day we had. Have You run your radio batteries down again?” Charles asked.
    “Not yet, I still have some rechargeable AA batteries for back up but I need to charge the batteries in that second set of hand held communication radios that I am lending you and Monica.” Dennis said as he got his rocket stove fired up.
    “How are you planning on doing that as overcast as it is? You got enough power in your battery bank?’ Charles asked.
    “Not and continue to run that ice maker, I got something way cool to do
