Okay, so you don't like that I have four vehicles, not counting my wife's 2024 hybrid Accord. You especially don't like that I bought that Bronco Outer Banks Sasquatch the end of December. You think I have not saved enough for retirement. Well, I also add to our savings almost every month...

I know something very important about the Egyptian pyramids. I know they are there. Herodotus explained how they were built, but that was over 2,000 years later.

Seller's estate is managed by idiots. That is not all that unusual. When we built our house in western Washington back in 1984-85 we installed a 300 amp service with a 200 amp and 100 amp FPE panel and circuit breakers. I have never heard of it being an issue, but maybe in the last 14 years...

Supai, AZ and Phantom Ranch at the bottom of the Grand Canyon both get their mail brought in by mule. Supai is the tribal headquarters of the Havasupai Tribe and is inside the Grand Canyon, but not at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. It is an incredibly beautiful area.

It is surprising so little information is available. Usually fatalities are announced on the local radio news reports. I have heard nothing. Not that I actually pay attention to that much on the radio. Still, three dead is pretty serious and Mohave County is not big a community population wise.

What about a big glob of silicone sealant?

I would rather not douse myself with any chemical. And yes, there are articles that agree with OP's opinion. No, I am not going to link them for you.

Back then, China Freight had one on sale for about $ 400. No, it was not a Makita or DeWalt, but is would have been good enough for my purposes.

It has been well over a decade since I bought Roundup, but when I did it was the generic stuff and I read the label to be sure it was 41% glyphosate.

Electric jack hammers are fun to use and the results are very satisfying. I have often thought of buying one, but it is pretty rare that a reason to use one comes up. So I rent.

I am sure there is a video that will show the crash and allow analysts to figure out what happened. The last B-52 was delivered on October 26, 1962. It was a B-52H. The first B-52H was delivered in May 1961. All of the B-52s in service are the H model, so this one would be one of those and...

Isn't that is California? Absolutely no way. If I want a large lot like that there are lots of places in Arizona that provide all the dry ground, rattlesnakes, dirt roads, etc. a person could want. This July it will be two years since the Mohave Green Rattlesnake was in our back yard. We...

Always an interesting discussion, but I see no need for anger. Maybe I overthink it, but I like saving money. I did an analysis of my electric bill yesterday and found the cost of electricity during off peak is about 8.6 cents per kwh. The utility pays me about 9.3 cents per kwh for excess...

Okay, last month I used 307.53 kwh. My bill was -34.67. Not very meaningful. The point of my post was about the cost of electricity with solar. The cost of charging can be quite low based on the low off peak rate.

I got my electric bill today and was surprised to see a credit for $34.67. So, of the $300 I paid a year ago February, I have $321.54 left. Not bad. I analyzed the bill to see what electricity is costing. Off peak costs $.086605 per kwh. Peak costs $.176504 per kwh. Excess generation gets...
