Thanks everyone for the good laughs and insight as well on Generators. I have had a generator with a transfer switch for sometime, so that is not a problem and it runs on natural gas.
I did find the problem with the freezer. The defrost thermostat died. I have one already in shipment to fix it. Only $22. We managed to save 80% of everything and gave the rest to our neighbors. I'm just happy we caught it early enough that there was no waste, just a reallocation of it to different places.
These strange times will pass, we just all need to slow down and think through the problems.
Peace to all, Be safe and stay healthy.
