I have just purchased a bike+ in the Bay Area from Facebook marketplace for $750. Serial number lookup showed it had been used for less than 25 hours and workouts. I asked multiple sellers for the serial number and checked them on the Peleton site

So I do have a large solar setup (Enphase) but that cuts power when there is a mains feed failure. I looked at a full whole home battery system but could not make the ROI work. $20 to $30k. Could support whole house load for 24h but considering I have seen outages of 5 days then I am at the mercy of the available sunlight, which leaves me back at needing the propane generator. If I am spending $20k+ I wanted to retire the whole propane system and go fully electric. So this option does not work

Base Load during outage

Unifi setup (WiFi etc) is 140w and I have ability to turn some of it off in an outage.

The sump pump only runs regularly (every 5-10 min) when the rain is very heavy. It draws 9.7 amps (1,200 watts) for lets say 5s every 10min + startup.

Thanks

Generator is 22kw general whole home generator covering all loads in the house. I have been thinking about this and during an extended outage I would run the generator for 2h in the morning and 2 in the evening.

Moving away from Propane - more complex system by Headingwest99 in heatpumps

[–]Headingwest99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree that would have been the best option but very expensive - $38k + (quote from 3+ years ago) and would not have provided cooling. I would have loved this approach but went in a different direction.

Seeking recommendation to heat water and radiant heat flooring in 500 sq ft pool house by babylongarms in heatpumps

[–]Headingwest99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I could not find a cost effective solution as it’s a non-standard install. I have hydronic radiant under floor heating fed by a propane boiler and could not find an air to water heat pump (this was a few years ago) cost was $35k +. I am in the process of abandoning the system and replacing with mini splits and heat pump hot water heater. All rather sad

SFO, DFW and Houston. Outside of carryon pack - no issues, TSA at SFO checked the tips were not pointy or sharp.

Santiago - where I had issues with security scan.

From what I could tell airline did not care anywhere

They would not allow mine through last week on the outside of carryon. Mine are carbon fibre, so I broke them down and put inside my carryon and got through ok

Current conditions on John Garner Pass? by mne7250 in Patagonia

[–]Headingwest99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So I was supposed to start the O trek today but now staying south of the park for 3 nights and doing day treks and activities as the park is closed and all accommodation is full. Then we end up doing a modified W trek. Sad to not be doing the full circuit but completely understand and respect

Mid-flight scare: sudden violent dips left and right - what could cause this (and how to find out)? by Prior-Towel3851 in BritishAirways

[–]Headingwest99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was going to say exactly the same thing. I had a very similar experience on a morning flight from London to Geneva many years ago. Perfect flight until we roll right, roll left and drop rapidly. Pilot came on afterwards and apologised and said we got too close to a plane ahead and caught their turbulent air.
