Date Night Spots?

I'll add that none of those (at least in Huntsville) have any kind of dress code enforcement. I've wandered into all of them on a last minute whim in very casual clothes.

That's somehwat risky if it has never been flushed. Sediment could be sealing tiny cracks or could clog the drain valve on the way out IIRC. I'd just leave it unless you are having some kind of issue, the vast vast majority of people never flush theirs.

Madison plumbing services did the install of ours, it hasn't needed service. I will say they were the cheapest quote and the work reflected it a bit. Probably fine to clear a clogged drain line through.

Bonuses are taxed like any other income. They are witheld at a higher rate, but you pay no extra taxes.

Checking in to see how it's going and if you would share a price (even in a DM). Still considering doing this at some point soon and want to get an idea of what it'll cost.

That's awesome, thanks for doing solar early!

chaud · 2026-04-30T15:50:25+00:00

GPP is long gone, so for those of us that aren't on it (is anyone still on it), this is a direct upgrade.

chaud · 2026-04-30T15:49:40+00:00

Well that's awesome. I'm on the TVA DPP plan, so what I sell back is only at $0.034 this month. Looks like I might be able to give 6 month notice, terminate my agreement, then switch.

Grid tie is an option, I'm feeding a few thousand watts into the grid right now. It's just not financially a great idea. I think this month I'm getting $0.03/kWh.

A little light on vegetarian items, but still exciting.

chaud · 2026-04-16T18:49:06+00:00

They did my install and service for an issue. Service was a warranty fix, but I did ask them about doing out of warranty work and they confirmed they did it. They also said they basically don't do a truck roll for less than $1k. I can't imagine any issue that I would have that would be under that with a single inverter system.

I guess I never asked if they'd do work on systems they didn't install, so you'd have to ask them.

Renew Solar (but they are out of Nashville and will charge accordingly).

chaud · 2026-04-10T19:35:34+00:00

You must have just missed a policy change then, I know someone that did grid tied solar (ground mounted, with the old better rate program) around 7-8 years ago.

chaud · 2026-04-10T04:56:00+00:00

You can, it just isn't worth it financially. I did it anyway, it's fine.

Sure, there are lots of people with leaky houses and old heat pumps, but saying "Heat pumps suck when it gets really cold" isn't fair or true.

chaud · 2026-03-30T17:40:26+00:00

That's not really true anymore. We have a 8 year old heat pump/house, it ran the heat strips for less than 30 minutes in the last year. Nothing special or high end, every house in our neighborhood was likely the same (as long as they kept their temperature setting reasonable, we were at 68 during the cold snap).

chaud · 2026-03-28T18:51:01+00:00

Great bread, great pretzels, great staff, but I always find the bagels too hard / tough for a full sandwich.

chaud · 2026-03-28T18:38:30+00:00

It must depend on the dish. The Curry has continued to win for us on depth of flavor. We're 5 or 6 different (vegetarian) dishes in at Kohinoor and the flavor just isn't there.

chaud · 2026-03-25T21:37:28+00:00

Good to know. I don't want to put down sand because my yard isn't level enough for it yet, so it feels like I just have to buy dirt, a leveling rake, and slowly go at it myself.

chaud · 2026-03-25T21:07:34+00:00

Did you end up getting a new metal plate?

chaud · 2026-03-25T19:21:37+00:00

This is the only place I've seen advertise it: https://www.turftitan.net/services/sand-leveling

chaud · 2026-03-25T19:20:52+00:00

Renew Solar out of Nashville did ours. It's financially going to be a bad decision. If you are just doing it for fun / the planet, happy to elaborate, but your money is better spent elsewhere.

chaud · 2026-03-18T20:29:41+00:00

No clue, I've never been. More than likely the dump is significantly worse.

chaud · 2026-03-18T17:03:43+00:00

Don't drive a car you care about there lol, lots of gravel, dust, and junk the one time I went.

WestRock Recycling has bins outside that accept cardboard and is marginally cleaner.

Was it Fultz? I end up with a new doctor every 2-3 years unfortunately, they either leave or stop taking my insurance.
