This is getting absurd. Do you think the meter is going to get up off the
ground, climb the wall, and reinstall itself into the base?


That is absurd, considering that is one of the LESS likely
possibilities.


I considered doing that (connecting generator that way) once but never
did it because of the small risk of severe consequences.

I don't consider myself perfect. That's enough.
