@Gary Gilmore,
Is this a new generator for you? Black Max Specifications 7000 running watts 8750 starting watts 389CC Honda OHV Engine 6 gal. fuel tank Low lubricant shut down Noise reduced spark arrestor muffler (8) 120V 20 AMP outlets (1) 240V 30 AMP twist lock outlet.
Are you using the 240 V 30 Amp twist lock outlet to charge the Tesla? My Tesla did not come with that adapter for the Tesla cable, but I have used an adapter that plugs into Motel Air Conditioner 240 volt outlets and lets the 115 vac plug into it. This puts 240 volts on the Tesla cable (which normally plugs into 115 vac.) The cable doesn’t mind, and the car adjusts the charging rate to over 10 mph, vs the 4 to 5 miles/hour on the 115 outlet. (A light weight 115 vac extension cord can be used, but the temperature at the connectors need to be monitored. Basically running 240 volts on a 115 cord. The car will monitor the voltage drop, and cut back current accordingly.)
Is the owner of this Tesla on the forum?
Gary, I’m looking for your report about Argos.

I was asked as the MC to report the funniest thing that happened at Argos. On the last evening while several of us were sitting around the fire, Wayne did one of his “funnies”.
Dan Moore had made several stoves, sawdust cookers, and plastic bucket lanterns to raffle off on Saturday. Lisa Kieth really had her eye on the bucket light, but she did not win.
Later that evening while Lisa was away, Dan brought her one and gave it to Wayne and told Wayne to give it to her and tell her it was from Dan. Wayne, quite characteristically said,
"I’ll tell her I bought it for her."
Obviously, Everyone laughed.
When Lisa returned, Wayne said, “Now you know that I’m down to my last few dollars, but I love you so much I just had to buy this for you.”
Lisa immediately raised her hands, looked to heaven and said, as only she can,
"Forgive him Lord, I know he’s lyin’."
People almost wet themselves laughing.
Definitely the funniest happening of the week in my opinion.

Translated to mean…We ran to Walmart so she spend some of her money that you work so hard for, and hold on to for safe keeping, so she can spend it for all the good things that you two need.

I have a membership to a video editing software, but it does not allow over 45 minutes of video at once! All the wonderful video and pictures taken cannot be put in one video as of now, but I’m working on it. I will have all the pictures and video I can get in a couple videos then try to join the videos together to make one.

I thought JO was singing the song. Called.
“Itsy Bitsy Spider”. Itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout.
Down came the rain and washed the spider out.
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain, and the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again.
