Narrative:

On climb out of chicago en route to seattle, we lost the left generator and then the left idg box. Started APU in order to continue to seattle. Approximately 2 hours later, 180 NM from boi, the APU started to run out of oil. We decided to divert to boise to get the APU fixed before it shut down and only left us with 1 generator.
