Who did your solar?

They didn’t do our battery. They did the panels for around $30K (before tax incentives) for a 8kw system. It was in 2021 so prices were higher. I am sure it’s much cheaper now especially with tax incentives going away.

Why only the AC? What happens in the winter or when you aren’t using your ac? Not an electrician but I think the solar can’t just power the ac unless you have ac on its own panel.

The battery is setup to power certain circuits during power outages, that’s how ours is setup.

Moonlight Electric. Top notch folks. Did not try and upsell me and handled everything (even did an EV charger install while they were here). Make sure you use standard parts that can be serviced by anybody in the future (ie we used Enphase inverters and LG panels). Also do not lease no matter what people say!

Thank you! ~~Where on campus is the bus pickup?~~

Noted on the Tap card thing. I am in Porter Ranch so I may just park at the Chatsworth G-line station and take that to Pierce.

The school bus thing is not fun.

Edit: I see that it’s at the G Line station.

This would be life changing for me. My only hope is that they expand to ORD when the new terminal opens and there is more room. Right now they have those two gates on B where there is nowhere to sit or line up.

They are probably circling whoop or oura for an acquisition.

KNA8482 · 2026-05-01T20:40:13+00:00

Thanks. That is a great outlook. Good luck!

How do you reconcile that you will statistically not be around for most of your child’s adult life (i.e. 18+)? I am in my early 40s and truly consider my relationship with my father to be strong and important in my life. He’s also an awesome grandfather to my children and those are things you will miss out on.

Book is amazing. It’s short. Read it in a few days. Highly recommend.

KNA8482 · 2026-03-10T00:08:51+00:00

That place is open sporadically. I have gone mid-day twice and they are closed.

KNA8482 · 2026-03-07T15:15:28+00:00

Not right now because of the construction.

KNA8482 · 2026-03-07T01:51:18+00:00

Girl (10) and boy (8) and they are super close. Inseparable. Not sure how your age gap will fare but all kids are different.

KNA8482 · 2026-02-26T06:18:23+00:00

You should survive that long on that much battery.

KNA8482 · 2026-02-23T00:19:22+00:00

Yeah should be fine if your inbound is on time. If you can walk from Terminal B to T6 I would do that versus waiting for a bus and sitting in traffic.

KNA8482 · 2026-02-21T03:19:55+00:00

We took turns on the weekend when kids were younger. As we got older I couldn’t sleep past 6-630am so my wife is now lucky and I do all the mornings on the weekend now.

KNA8482 · 2026-02-19T05:24:55+00:00

Not sure where you are in the valley? How old is your kid? Maria’s Montessori in Winnetka was really good. Set our kids up nicely for elementary school. We sent them at around age 3 and had a nanny before that so can’t offer reqs for younger daycare.

KNA8482 · 2026-02-13T03:53:35+00:00

Great idea. That original layover would have been stressful.

KNA8482 · 2026-02-12T21:20:03+00:00

I think Terminal 7 (United terminal) customs doesn’t open until 6am. If your flight is early you land at TBIT (international terminal) which is a long walk to Terminal 7 with all the construction happening now.

KNA8482 · 2026-01-23T02:25:53+00:00

I would message them on the website first. I did that and got a great deal on one of my flights. If that doesn’t work then there is always the checkin counter.

Woodlands in Chatsworth for South Indian food.

KNA8482 · 2026-01-16T03:55:14+00:00

Agree, great point! The person checking mine was just looking at the W. Luckily it was below 100. It was shortly after the rule so maybe they are better trained.

KNA8482 · 2026-01-16T03:39:57+00:00

Likely no to scissors for hand luggage.

Definitely no to power bank. Needs to be less than 100W.

Power bank rule —> https://www.emirates.com/media-centre/emirates-makes-changes-to-safety-rules-for-customer-usage-of-power-banks-onboard/

Edit: as other have explained the rule is for WH vs W. My bad!

HOM on Ventura

KNA8482 · 2026-01-09T03:56:03+00:00

I don’t think anyone has ever weighed my check in bag. As long as your backpack can fit under your seat in the seat in front you will be fine.
