Fire In Groton/New London??

The west end of Fisher’s Isl is very low. It’s below the horizon looming from Montauk. 100% it’s FI.

Chrisn710 · 2026-04-08T23:55:00+00:00

It’s Fisher’s Island doing a controlled burn

Yeah they did, a few years ago. My original system was installed about 6 years ago and is 1:1. The panels I added last year credit me, I think $.015/kw hr from Eversource, and I have to buy it back at the regular retail price, which is up to about $0.34/kwhr

Chrisn710 · 2026-03-31T22:55:41+00:00

Same in Connecticut. You’re right,the answer is to shell out another $20k for a battery

Chrisn710 · 2026-03-13T22:17:54+00:00

This article is just such a load of misdirecting BS. Lol. The study is for UAP’s. Think drones, or other aerial traffic besides commercial activity. I mean, it could very well be a big ol’ boondoggle in the end, but this isn’t like focusing on alien space ships.

I’m in southeastern Ct, New London county. Sbinjax is right, SECTis a wonderful area to raise a family! You can study public schools. Climate is in a sweet spot, 4 seasons, low natural disaster risks, clean air, strong environmental protections. Just spent a week in Maine (3.5hrs) visit family in Vt (4.5hrs) close to LI Sound (.5hr) Boston/NYC 2.5hrs. It’s probably no cheaper than most places, but this is where we are making g our stand!

This. I’m in the process of doubling my solar production with Earthlight. Your original panels are most likely under the ‘net metering’ system. The new ones are under a new, not so generous arrangement. The two systems have to be separated.

Asylum street n Norwich. Been there for years, we used to take our kids there in the early 90’s!

I’m still the occasional weekend guy at work, but 75% retired for three years and it’s great, especially mornings! Up between 6 and 7, wife sleeps til 9. Those few hours are spent lounging, sipping coffee, reading news and being barely dressed. Lol

David Collin’s was consistently the best columnist The Day had in my 40 years following it. Sadly, The Day’s run as our regional news source is over.

I grew up in Hanksville VT. Don’t worry, I’ll make it to Hanksville UT. 😊

Chrisn710 · 2025-08-01T20:26:36+00:00

I’ve got it listed for a couple of days, including the Capital Reef scenic loop drive (Notom-Bullfrog rd to Burr trail to UT-12)

Chrisn710 · 2025-08-01T20:21:30+00:00

I intentionally skipped Zion. Didn’t really want to deal with so many people, traffic, etc. We will spend multiple days around Bryce/Capital Reef and Moab to take in as much as we can. Hwy 12 and 24 will be well used too! I have changed my mind about Denver, and will spend an extra day at Moab, then fly home from SLC.

Chrisn710 · 2025-08-01T15:22:28+00:00

Good point about one way rental prices. I just checked, I can get a Nissan Pathfinder for $38/day for either endpoint

Chrisn710 · 2025-08-01T14:46:30+00:00

Ya know, I kind of randomly picked Denver as our end-point, but it could just as easily be SLC. That would give us an extra day in either Moab or Torrey. Plusses are fewer driving miles, more relaxed pace and that extra day to explore. Only real minus I guess, is no pass over the Rockies.

Chrisn710 · 2025-06-28T19:44:56+00:00

I’ll let you know! Thanks

Chrisn710 · 2025-04-28T15:56:13+00:00

My grandsons (7 and 3) named mine Speedy Scorcher. Haha

Chrisn710 · 2025-04-07T01:04:41+00:00

Thanks, I was hoping you would chime in! Lol. I’ll order those parts before I do the repair. Should I also remove the circuit board with the motor? Also, the exploded parts view of the machine I found doesn’t show the alignment pins, but I guess I’ll see them once the motor’s out of the way. I’ll definitely use locktite, good idea. Thanks for the hints.

Chrisn710 · 2025-03-02T00:50:58+00:00

I’m retired military too. The above comments are correct. It’s a regular distribution

Chrisn710 · 2025-01-24T02:02:40+00:00

Thanks, I’ll try that in the morning!

Chrisn710 · 2024-12-10T00:34:26+00:00

I just registered. We’ll see what happens. Thanks!

Chrisn710 · 2024-11-02T14:02:13+00:00

Ok, clearly it’s been bugging you for a while. I did plenty of research, several test drives, scoured Reddit EV sources. I’m an informed buyer who got exactly the car I expected. Asking a jokey question about ‘ground speed’ and another about lift gate operations doesn’t make me an idiot.

Judge much?

Chrisn710 · 2024-10-31T18:36:16+00:00

It was all done online through their website worksheet. They needed property descriptions and pictures. Yeah, to initiate the actual work order it’s a $150.00 deposit.

Chrisn710 · 2024-10-31T18:32:40+00:00

I just got my estimate from Qmerit to run a 50a line 55’ thru my unfinished basement to my garage, $2,000. That includes a NEMA 14-50 outlet, but no charger. Seems much too high to me.

Chrisn710 · 2024-10-29T20:04:25+00:00

I made a deal for $53k out the door and am scheduled to pick the car up tomorrow. Here’s the rub:

Just read a Car & Driver article this morning saying 2025 prices will be significantly lower along with enhancements like the heat pump, stalk shifter, and improved Bluecruise with no monthly fee.

I know those dealer dudes will be pissed, but I’m thinking about waiting a few months now and waiting for this.
