tested generator, sorta

Well, I had wanted to test the generator operation at the Carr Astronomical Observatory. I was going to shut off the mains... But when the lights started flicking off and on, I suspected we'd get a chance to see it work. Sure enough (and, fortunately, after dinner was baked), the power went out and stayed out. 7:47 PM, snow flying, wind howling. Then, vroom vroom, the generator was up and running. w00t!
