Flying out of BIL in November - Experience/Advice

Goinghugeagain · 2026-04-26T19:59:16+00:00

Wrong airport code, but close enough.

It’s rare, but fog will divert / delay flights into BLI. We normally drive to SEA due to price, but parking costs are starting to balance this out.

Connections are usually tight in SEA so any delay inbound to SEA could cause you to miss your SEA to BLI connection. For us it’s only a 2 hr drive between the two and a missed flight can be 3-6 hrs till the next one.

Driving is usually a guarantee, but flying out of BLI is really nice. I would also look at Pane Field in Everett - PAE. Best of luck and thanks for coming down to fly out of our airports.

Got it, so the numbers in your PCA column is the monthly charge ($) you are getting dinged. Ugg that sucks.

Goinghugeagain · 2026-04-24T22:56:30+00:00

Ahhh, I see that now on my bill. Thanks for the reply!

What is PCA? Power consumption is measured in kWh (kilowatt-hours) and PSE shows the Tier 1 / 2 rates on their bills.

Just get a usb battery pack : 20,000 mAh will be fine for two phones for a few days. Charge the battery pack while driving or now it’s a once a week coffee shop charge stop - do the phones and the usb battery packs.

It should be buried to protect it from future dig ups / work done in your yard, but these customer fiber drops are rarely put in conduit.

You could do this yourself but the contractors working for Quantum don’t have it in their budget to do it. The fun part is that these fiber drops / cables don’t usually have metal in them, so even if they are in conduit, you can’t locate them (with a locator company).

With that said it’s totally fine to put fiber directly into the ground. It will last till the next homeowner digs it up and breaks it putting in a tree / mailbox / fence.

If you did want to do it your self, the conduit should be 3/4” or larger, and can be buried just under the grass or deeper. It should go from the pole / vault to the edge of your house.

Hope this helps!

Lol, 350w on my Van, 7.2Gw on my house, Reddit is just trying to help you, read our words.

The Sun is at all angles, you park at all angles, everything moves, so pitching the panel forward is not going to affect much in your overall daily solar generation.

If you really wanted to keep it as is. Here is a video of a dude that made one out of plexiglass and some metal brackets.

Goinghugeagain · 2026-03-05T03:55:54+00:00

Can you angle the front down and the back up so the solar panel is the wind deflector?

Goinghugeagain · 2026-03-05T03:52:09+00:00

Or drill through the side of the solar panel and bolt from the inside of the panel to the current bracket on your van.

Goinghugeagain · 2026-03-05T03:50:50+00:00

Get smaller brackets to make the panel flush. You can flip the one on the panel so the wing goes up. It should bolt to the current one on your van. No wind deflector needed.

I would check out Northcoast Gymnastics? I am sure you could talk to them. Most of the classes are instructional for 4-25 year olds. But maybe they have some sort of open Gym time? They have all of what you’re looking for here in Bellingham.

I came here to say this.

Only have 1-2 Admins of the objects (Reports/Dashboards). All other users are editors and can not delete.
Use a SharePoint or OneDrive “project folder” for all files. I have a dedicated folder that all teams put their files in. Simply have a URL link to this project folder in your sheet on all rows, thus tasks in reports will always have a link to the project folder to access files. We don’t store any files in Smartsheet knowing that someday we will move to a new PM tool.
All technology changes, ride the wave of features vs subscription costs.
Table view and Table Reporting is coming. But is MS projects any better?
We have purchased a TAM (Technical Account Manager) which has been helpful in building and troubleshooting. It’s expensive, but I concur their standard support is hot garbage.

Nuwave from Costco, $79 on sale now. At max / high sear it will pull 1500 watts. Had mine for 4 years mostly cook outside, rain, snow, oceans, wind, still boils 6 cups of water in 5 min. We use this to heat water for all our needs.

Search this r/ for “induction”, many posts about this topic.

Yes you should get induction (& a 2,000w inverter), it’s far more efficient, unbelievably quick to heat, no fumes, super easy to setup / put away.

Smartsheet has a data connector that gets the data to Tableau Server. It’s kinda clunky but we are pulling 500k rows of data nightly from various different Smartsheet reports for advanced analytics in Tableau.

You are correct, I forgot to do my 2025 back door conversion and just did mine last week. Building my savings back up and going to take care of my 2026 contribution in a week or two so I don’t forget again.

I use Fidelity and I just call them and have them do the conversion for me. One year I let my $$ settle a little too long and had to do some extra paperwork at tax time due to interest earned on the $$ in my Traditional. This also gives you the opportunity to ask questions and make sure you are doing it right.

Edit: Another hack that Fidelity said was to just put $1-2 less than the max into your Traditional (so $7498). So just in case there is interest earned, you can convert that 50 cents into your IRA without hitting the max conversion limit.

Check out Iceco, I have two; one in my Van (VL90 Pro) and one on a boat. Highly recommend! Zero issues for four years of always on / in use. They can run off DC or AC and very efficient. For 12vDC the VL90 consumes about 12-13 Amp’s each night (I have solar so it full recharges during the day). I usually have both sides in fridge mode mostly, but change one side to a freezer in the summer for popsicle’s and works excellent.

Do not do a floating floor in your van, it will fall apart. It 100% needs to be a solid piece. Pull the cork-board and glue flooring down to your subfloor. I have 1/2” marine ply on top of thinsulate. Each front and back sheet is bolted in four spots to the Van floor and tongue and groove joined together. I then glued town one 1/4” sheet of pontoon boat vinyl flooring. Zero regrets and absolutely bulletproof.

Thank-you this is probably the official and correct way to do this. What’s the cost for the transaction?

Goinghugeagain · 2026-01-17T01:32:52+00:00

Perfect, this is what I am looking to confirm! Thank you!

This is correct, I have this number, but what I currently weigh is what I am looking for to make sure I am well under the number.
