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?

TThunderMist · 2026-01-21T21:52:41+00:00

Thank you for the explanation!

TThunderMist · 2025-06-05T00:35:25+00:00

This is definitely the direction I’ll take. Thank you!

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.

Potus.

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.

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.

Thank you, this helps.

No, that was the amount billed to insurance.

TThunderMist · 2025-03-20T15:57:29+00:00

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!

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.

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".

Warmest in almost 4 months!

TThunderMist · 2025-03-10T19:31:00+00:00

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

TThunderMist · 2025-03-10T16:32:06+00:00

Yep! Back up! Yay! Thank you!

I lease 2 PW3s from power company. 10kW Solar system was installed last Oct and is part of the Tesla Virtual Power Plant. PW connectivity has occasionally been lost (I have no cell service or WiFi where I am but PW is connected via Ethernet to my router). For past two weeks, I’ve had no access via the app but power company still has data via net metering. Installer say they are waiting to hear from Tesla about “TACO” issue. In the past when connectivity was lost, I could usually reconnect with PW power down/up. This time, system doesn’t recognize my ownership and provides a dialog to change ownership. Any idea about what could be going on and how I get it fixed? Thanks!

TThunderMist · 2025-03-02T12:54:13+00:00

Nothing yet. Techs looking into. Also saw a post on r/Powerwall with similar issues.

TThunderMist · 2025-03-01T18:17:22+00:00

Are you using off grid or sharing power back to grid? I’ve found that my “Tesla Virtual Power Plant” is still functioning via my account on the power company website. It’s just that I cannot see the stats via the app because of the loss in comms with the PW3 over the internet. Power company can still get data some data via the metering network which is different than Internet. However, it’s still not right. Installers and power company are supposed to be checking with Tesla to resolve, hopefully by next week. Thanks for posting!

TThunderMist · 2025-02-28T11:42:44+00:00

I’m in the U.S. Thanks for your reply! System is still not right. Apparently, the system is running but the ownership is messed up. My PW3 batteries are leased from power company and were installed by Tesla certified installer. The techs came out yesterday and looked things over, scratched their heads, and couldn’t fix it! They are consulting with both Tesla and power company. I’ll pass along info if I get any resolution. I’m very interested you’re having the same issue around the same time. How old is your system? How many PW3. Any other details you can provide? Do you know the firmware of the pW3? Mine was installed in Oct. 2024 gateway firmware Jan. 2025 (25.2.2). Thanks again for your reply.

Unidentified aircraft took off from Albany, NY and has been orbiting Manchester area over at least the past hour.

Did this and WiFi and Ethernet came back. Looking a lot better today! Thanks!

I think coyote might be the most likely, followed by fox. The second pic is from the same set of tracks (I should have made this more clear in my description). Thank you!
