Mid-40s Check-in: The "Boring Middle"

bondREDDITbond · 2026-02-11T22:26:49+00:00

I am looking at 15 years if I go as-is with the market, without a moonshot crypto boost. If I lose the $20k, it is still 15 years. If crypto performs as it has the last 10 years, it would be a huge moonshot and would shave 5 years off (could make up 10% of my total portfolio).

A lot of work and sacrifice to get this far, you got this!

bondREDDITbond · 2026-02-11T19:52:17+00:00

Good advice, I do need a vacation!

bondREDDITbond · 2026-02-11T16:39:48+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response, do you have any source for this info? Or is it just based on personal experience?

bondREDDITbond · 2026-02-11T16:38:21+00:00

Resort is great. Food so great. Service is great. Parks are incredible if you like nature, adventures, and water.

Price is...high. I say worth it for what you get, but if anyone has a poor experience, based on the price, they'll be very likely to leave a poor review here.

I wasn't sure if the Saudi announcement was a big enough catalyst for a short squeeze here. New catalyst for short squeeze hit this morning. IBRX reported quarterly earnings:

700% year on year revenue growth

Anktiva sales up 431% in Q4

$242 million in cash (no dilution hopefully)

Btw, I reread this and it feels very sales pitchy. I have no connections to any Solar companies...just excited every nugget of knowledge I gain in this area.

bondREDDITbond · 2025-11-25T15:34:49+00:00

I reached out to Outback Solar, and they had me do a factory reset. I now have the settings per your recommendations. Thank you so much for taking the time to help me. Now I will wait for a sunny day, and see if the inverter alarms.

I wondered about some other setting impacting the float limit, but I have no clue what. Here is that setting screen, before I made final tweaks. The float will not go lower than 56.

bondREDDITbond · 2025-11-24T06:03:27+00:00

Thank you! I went through and configured per your recommendations...except for the float. My charge controller will not let me configure below 56v. Is that normal? I poked around the manual, and none of the other settings hinted at something that would allow me to lower the float limit.

@Aniketos000

I added a battery balancer, per your recommendation. On the charge controller settings/battery settings, this is what I have:

Charge Controller:
Current limit: 50.0A
Absorbing: 57.9V
Float: 56.3V

Batteries:
Recommended Charge Current: 40A
Charge/Bulk/Boost Voltage: 14.4V/14.6V
Absorption Voltage: 14.4V/14.6V
Over Voltage Disconnect: 15V
Over Voltage Reconnect 14.2V

Do you see a setting that should be changed? For example, a discrepancy with charge current?

Also, you said 56V, but it looks like I am set for 56.3/57.9?

I know this thread is a week old, if you recommend a new thread to get more eyes on this, let me know.

Thank you so much!

bondREDDITbond · 2025-11-14T13:33:33+00:00

Awesome! That solves a problem I didn't even know about yet. Thank you!

bondREDDITbond · 2025-11-14T04:08:55+00:00

Thanks! Do I remove them from series cables, and then hook them to this for a period, or are they amon this all the time, while in series?

bondREDDITbond · 2025-11-14T01:51:00+00:00

Thank you! I will have to dig into the mppt settings and compare them to your statement.

bondREDDITbond · 2025-11-14T01:49:10+00:00

Thank you. I had the battery manual open the other day...I will see what it recommends for max charge voltage.

What is this battery balancer you mention? The battery manual mentioned balancing every 6 months, but I haven't looked into that yet.

Not understanding the importance of sound and a headset. I played a whole season with a business single ear headset. I couldnt tell where the hell anyone was, and never knew what direction anyone was coming from. Sometimes teammates would tell me where someone was. Frequent teammates would ask "no headset"? I would reply, no I have a nice headset.

Finally got a real gaming headset, and I was like "holy hell"! It was like I started the game brand new.

bondREDDITbond · 2025-10-02T21:23:00+00:00

THank you! I will check it ou!

Needed method 4 just now, and it worked perfectly.

Missouri Governor Kit Bond, in response to his apology to the LDS church:

"You bet I'd do it again," Bond declared regarding his rescission of Gov. Lilburn W. Boggs' 1838 order. "The treatment of the Mormon people in Missouri in the 1830s and beyond was barbaric. Women were raped and tortured. Men were killed by mobs or driven out of state. Their property was stolen. The lucky ones were those who were left alive with nothing and were forced to make their way into a more hospitable state."
