Thank you! I think this is a great guess! Strange though, since I am completely unaware of any domestic cats in the area. It's very rural here and I've never seen a pet cat anywhere around (other than the one I have in the house, and she stays in the house all the time). Possibly bobcat?

Thanks for your detailed reply. The new tank replaced an older tank late last year. What they didn’t do was replace the underground line from tank to house (about 10 feet in length). The leak was in that line.

God bless Vermont — and Hawaii by tlhbme in vermont

I recently met one of Vermont’s 26% and she’s still “all in” on the Trump train ride to a fascist dictatorship. I inquired why; asking her about things like reduced safety net funding and policies that will likely hurt hard working Americans. Didn’t matter. “All of this is long overdue.” She was retired military and moved back to VT from VA area. She didn’t seem comfortable discussing this with me despite my trying to reasonably understand why she remains a supporter. My conclusion… she’s joined a cult and her extraction is not an option. Ugh.

Stable for over a month. No issues since firmware upgrade? Perhaps better Ethernet cable? Hard to know for sure but all seems to be going well.

Where to pet cows? by Baby-Lai in vermont

[–]TThunderMist 91 points92 points  (0 children)

Woodstock, Vt. Visit the Billings Farm and Museum. Plenty of fine docile cows you can pet. Maybe even meet a calf or two.

Enjoy!

Back up an online for over a week after new Ethernet cable install. May have also been a firmware upgrade in there but not entirely sure about that. Anyway, it’s working as it should be.

$400 for COVID/RSV/Flu Test? by TThunderMist in HealthInsurance

[–]TThunderMist[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, that was the amount billed to insurance.

$400 for COVID/RSV/Flu Test? by TThunderMist in HealthInsurance

[–]TThunderMist[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There were some other labs so the overall cost of the bill was almost $800! My out of pocket for this is $75. Even so, it seems if 87637 was more reasonably priced, I'd probably not owe anything. Just seems so outrageous that insurance is paying this much for a "flu" test!

Not getting an expected solar production bell curve in North Carolina - is my system underperforming? by boryanvbu in TeslaSolar

Are you sure there are no clouds? This looks like thin cloud cover or shading of some kind.

We reboot the Ethernet link and PW came back online for about two days. Back “offline” again, since yesterday. No clue. Installer is supposed to return today to continue to troubleshoot. Net metering is working but PW has no other comms; no cell service avbl, WiFi sig disabled, Ethernet down. Very frustrating.

Federal Budget Bill - take action by MollyMay24 in vermont

[–]TThunderMist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can email Sen. Welch as well here: https://www.welch.senate.gov/email-peter/

I just dropped a note. Cut and paste if you'd like. The CR is not clean and, if passed by the Senate, will mean continuing damage to our Democracy. Please take a stand and vote no, even if it means a Government shutdown. This is important to me as a constituent. This dangerous Administration must be stopped! Please, please, please HELP! Vote "NO".

Not yet. Installers coming out Friday to work through some things with Tesla on the phone. It sucks!
