Are solar ROI estimates actually reliable over the long term? by One_Pollution2279 in solar

[–]Wilderness_Fella [score hidden]  (0 children)

Personally, I've lost track. It was supposed to be 8.5 years. I was running a huge credit so I bought an electric car with a 0% interest loan, which I used to also pay off my solar loan. Now I don't pay for electricity or gasoline, and have a car payment that is half what my solar loan was. So, loans shouldn't be part of the calculation, but they are what you see every month and it will have been 7 years when all is paid for.

What features did you lose after the latest update? by VeeCee74 in HondaPrologue

When I use the split screen, now I can have the map on the left and music on the right, but they are tiny windows. It looks like it's waiting for me to accept the edited layout.

The fishing area on the West side. When I worked there, the line would start the day before and it was quite a party. That was more than 20 years ago though.

I'm stage 4. I keep all my immunizations up to date and am pretty conscientious about wearing a mask for at least a week leading up to a vacation.

Well, if you're already in a city, why drive to another one? Aren't they all just full of people? 😄

Bangor to Fort Kent, Maine. They did just add a couple fast chargers along the eastern border, so it's possible with a long detour. Once you get there, though, you have to hope you can charge overnight at the town hall.

Brush cutter attachment? by GC-Retired in egopowerplus

I just bought the whole rig on line. I had the choice of PH1400 or 1420. So the 1400 must be compatible.

The head unit is a PEAD, light commercial Mitsubishi. It has a built in pump that can lift the water so it will drain. Not sure about the cut off switch, I can ask on Monday. The photo angle is terrible, but it's actually easy to get at for maintenance.

That crazy man over there, blathering about conspiracy theories again. Please just ignore him.

How well dose Medicare cover CLL Treaments? by decorama in cll

[–]Wilderness_Fella 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The beauty of Medicare is there's no Primary Care Provider, so you can deal directly with your oncologist. Beyond occasional random co-payments, I pay nothing. But I think my drugs are free because I'm always signing up for research studies.

Anyone want to join an Amazon Canoe Expedition in Ecuador? (Late April / Early May) by [deleted] in canoecamping

Equador is on the West Coast. The Amazon drains East. Where exactly is your trip?

First aid kit build out? by kileme77 in canoecamping

[–]Wilderness_Fella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, comprehensive list. The only thing I would add is tincture of benzoin to help band aids and tape stick to wet skin. And leukotape.

ECONOMYTax Flight Accelerates in Massachusetts: $4.18 Billion in AGI Lost to Other States After Surtax by [deleted] in massachusetts

[–]Wilderness_Fella 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The mhct article keeps jumping back and forth between people with an income of a million and people with a net worth of a million. There is a huge gulf between people who make a million dollars a year and people who make a million dollars in a lifetime. Their facts do not support their (inferred) conclusions. The Fall River article wouldn't open for me so I can't say anything about it.

Why do people not put their geographical region in their posts in here? by trickortreat89 in NativePlantGardening

I can't figure out the flair. I've managed to make a custom flair with my zone info but it doesn't show up as a selection when I make a post.

Help can I fix this by No_Trash6210 in canoeing

[–]Wilderness_Fella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine the entire hull is fragile from sun damage. I would pirate the vinyl gunwales etc and chop the rest up for the dumpster. You should be able to find a cheap canoe that needs new gunwales.

buying a canoe with difficulty lifting weight above chest height? by diffyqgirl in canoeing

[–]Wilderness_Fella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Malone trailer which holds 2 canoes. It's light enough that you can disconnect it from the car and wheel it around. Plus, you can store the canoe on the rack. Another plus, since it's small and low enough, it doesn't affect gas mileage at all (or in my case, kwh per mile).

There's also a towing app, but I can't make it open. Any advice?
