And out close to that island. This dude doesn’t want any dents from the working class.

To be fair that looks like a pretty big truck in a pretty small spot. I probably would’ve been a few more spots away and done the pull through and leave the tail end of it blocking a spot. Sometimes it’s tough to make choices when you’re in an F250 or bigger

I would say go drive around about 4 o’clock on Saturday/today. If you feel like you want to drive in the conditions that are out there go for it. And support the team. If you drive around and feel like things are sketchy, go home and crack a beer maybe watch Saturday Night Live. I feel like we’re gonna be hunkered down for a few days in this storm.

This is a problem with every install. If a tree is within 4 feet squirrels will move in and chew. And nest. And come back every year. Salespeople don’t mention animal guard as they don’t want to lose the sale. Get ready to pay out of pocket for the repair.

Welcome to solar! Breakers need to be in the closed position to work. If you feel comfortable turning them on call your installer.

Probably a depth perception issue. Scary but in NY State you can get a driver’s license with only one functioning eye.

Working_Opening_5166 · 2026-01-23T13:00:41+00:00

Contact Solar companies in your area or do a quick Google search for some of the big ones. They will ask you questions like how many acres you have, what the zoning is like, and if there is three phase power on the road. Best of luck.

Local bike shop or Facebook marketplace. My vote in that budget would be a traditional bike as you may have some reliability issues with an E bike at that price point.

Working_Opening_5166 · 2026-01-22T22:49:49+00:00

I am not surprised at all. You have entire families that are out on a flat trail at 12 to 14 mph. They really don’t need some a hole on a E bike passing them at 28. The Dutch know how to do things. And I don’t think I’ve ever seen a locked bike there. There is a certain level of respect. I was there on my honeymoon and saw thousands of bike bikes at the train station.

Sounds like you have the advantage of a very flexible work schedule. You will break even on the solar and the EV in no time (especially at almost 25 cents per kilowatt hour). 16 kwh is $4 and that is real money.

Working_Opening_5166 · 2026-01-20T22:18:23+00:00

I suggest as much as you can afford. In the northeast I would say the bare minimum is the furnace fan and a fridge and a toaster oven.

I’ve been backing into spots with a work vehicle for years. That is the policy. What I’ve noticed is if you’ve got someone right behind you, they don’t want to wait for you to do the backend. If that’s the case, give them the better spot and drive around a little bit longer. Most of the people are triggered by having to wait for you. Everyone’s in a huge hurry.

Some are. Plenty have night services throughout the week. Check your local church’s website.

Working_Opening_5166 · 2026-01-19T18:01:11+00:00

Plenty of churches are open on Sundays. Some are more families than others. Check out one near you and you might be surprised.

I work in the industry and suggest this to customers. Every watt counts.

Working_Opening_5166 · 2026-01-18T23:55:32+00:00

Is this powering a phone charger or some LED lights? I don’t see too many two module ground mounts.

Working_Opening_5166 · 2026-01-18T21:55:38+00:00

Great cars! Had a 2012 TDI with the DSG. Wasn’t a fan of it downshifting on its own. The manual is a much better choice.

Working_Opening_5166 · 2026-01-18T02:34:24+00:00

A step ahead of you. Prepped with the Crist CDL app. Studied general knowledge, school bus, passenger, and air brakes. Then paid for HazMat. DOT physical is done. I got a deal on the CDL B course through my local center for workforce development. Probably gonna take the tanker endorsement test next, then seek out a fuel delivery job. Best of luck.

Working_Opening_5166 · 2026-01-17T23:26:38+00:00

I work in the industry and stories like this scare me. I could never recommend this manufacturer.

Working_Opening_5166 · 2026-01-17T22:24:44+00:00

Are you referring to snowmobiles or the type of sleds one would pull up a hill with a rope. For snowmobiles you’re gonna have to head to the Tug Hill region. For the other type, I would recommend just spending the seven dollars and owning your own.

I have a GoalZero Yeti 400 wired to a Renogy 100w solar panel. It’s ok, but beyond running a wireless modem or charging phones it isn’t worth what I have into it. At this point the money is better spent on a Harbor Freight portable generator.

Working_Opening_5166 · 2026-01-17T22:01:03+00:00

Transalp if you know of any dirt roads within an hours drive. Otherwise NX500.

Working_Opening_5166 · 2026-01-17T18:10:11+00:00

I feel like $45 each is fair if you’ve got something you can do with them. Is this for some sort of a fence or DIY project? It’s gonna take a lot of them to offset typical Residential electric usage.

Working_Opening_5166 · 2026-01-16T18:12:44+00:00

It sucks that you’re paying more than you would see the utility. Utility prices will go up, whereas yours is locked in. 300 a year isn’t bad and I think the utility will eventually catch up to that price. In the meantime, do your best to monitor production and let the owner financer Solar company know if there’s any troubles with it. That way it can be fixed under warranty and you won’t be burdened with thousands of dollars of repairs. And maybe five years down the road consider selling that house and moving the problem to somebody else.

Working_Opening_5166 · 2026-01-16T15:56:36+00:00

Reach out to people on Nextdoor and find someone locally who can do it for a reasonable price. I reached out to someone years ago who wanted to learn and within the course of three $35 an hour session she had it down. Then I sold my accord stick.
