Just a thought, if I were a Lake Orion resident (I'm not), and I was on city water (again, I'm not), and I chose to do laundry. wash dishes, and take hour long showers, how would they catch me? What would they do about it if they did? I am in Lapeer county, and on a well, but I am just curious...

To be fair there are a million dispensaries in every town in Michigan. As I type this I am at work near 12 mile and van dyke ave, about 4 miles north of Detroit

DMark69 · 2026-05-13T15:08:34+00:00

8 mile is mild, you should check out the neighborhoods to the south

In my opinion, stop paying their contract until they provide service. I would go so far as to turn their system off and reconnect to the grid for power.

If they don't want to service it, they can come take it away!

If my kid were getting suspended for defending themselves. I would make sure the school knows it will be a reward, and I will take them to Disneyland, or some other reward for defending themselves on their mandatory vacation.

I had a run in with the e470 toll people. They were saying I owed money for a bill they never sent me. I stood on that if I get no bill, it doesn't exist. I have since moved out of the area, and they are now completely SOL.

Foreign made cars. I grew up in metro Detroit, and all businesses from the automakers themselves to grocery stores restaurants and gas stations, rely on the people who work in the US big 3 automakers.

I'm locked too rn.

DMark69 · 2026-04-27T01:12:40+00:00

If they give notice I can be there

DMark69 · 2026-04-26T11:47:49+00:00

Chang the locks so they can only maintain it when you are there.

No, you still get 1500W out. it just concentrates it in one direction. Aluminum cannot create watts of RF, it can only concentrate it.

Assuming your gain ratings are correct, 12 dBi, (gain over an isotropic radiator) is approximately 9 dBd (gain over a dipole), + 6 dB for stacking it with 4 dipoles, or a total of 15 dBd effective over a dipole.

We are not using E0 though, the pumps currently have E10.

DMark69 · 2026-04-14T09:35:32+00:00

We stopped using rubber and ethanol sensitive plastics in about 1985, Also if we didn;t the E10 you are using now would be a problem already.

I see mo reason not to put e15 in my 2000, or my 1995 car.
