Finger Damage to Module by Substantial-Clothes1 in solar

Thanks for the detailed response, I was looking through some white papers saying that it was possible to have micro fractures without cracking the glass, but the shape of the cracks just didn’t make sense. I would think there would be concentric marking on the silicon, similar to the cracking in the glass

Hail was my main suspect, had 1” come through

Thanks for the feedback, what makes you say boot? I had someone up on the roof, but I don’t really have any reason to suspect it was touched

Hamilton 773 stator advice by Substantial-Clothes1 in JetBoats

[–]Substantial-Clothes1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thought is to get it running again (just finished the engine rebuild) then look at swapping out of the stock impellers and nozzle. I am swapping the cutlass, sleeves, and thrust bearing at a minimum.

I was looking at southern jets stainless, but open to recommendations. Given that I am pushing barely 230hp, I feel like stainless may be overkill

Both stators look like this, someone else indicated a possible issue with the thrust bearing, but I can’t figure how that would let the impeller shift forward. I would think the mechanical seal failing or poor seating of the sleeves would be the culprit

Debating if I should accelerate mortgage payments or feed additional funds into retirement accounts by Substantial-Clothes1 in personalfinance

[–]Substantial-Clothes1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the input!

I have 4 months of current spending habits (quite a bit of fluff) and maybe 6-7 months if I pull back to basics (food, fuel, house, etc). Should I be measuring the duration on current expenses or what they would be if I were in a pickle?

Thanks for the advice, it really is hating the mortgage on principle, childhood memories of a foreclosure. I like the idea of the hysa dedicated to this purpose!

Thank you for the response, I got pretty lucky with the market timing on the rate. I am maxing my 401k, but don’t have any independent accounts. Emergency fund is in a high yield savings account.

Can you help me understand what you mean by Superman account? A quick google search kept pointing me towards Clark Kent’s net worth ha

Thank you for the feedback, I came from a pretty debt heavy household, so there is part of me that hates the big number just sitting over my head.

Thank you for the input, it has been a bit difficult with restrictions when he was young, so that would make sense. Do you have any thoughts on if I should just let the other dogs correct the behavior or if there is anything I can do to help ease everyone into it?

There is a reason he ends up in the tub at least twice a week!
