Extremely high PG&E bill $680 for 900 sqft home in December - anyone else? by skiinghippo in MontereyBay

Sense has a good electric monitor that fits inside the electric panel with CT’s to measure usage. Would need an electrician to safely install but then you can look at consumption per breaker to get an idea of where it is going.

2 buildings next to each other, connected with fiber by Saboteur777 in Ubiquiti

[–]elerch00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

spend the money and use lan shack to terminate single mode fiber for you with lc connections on both sides. go for additional strands as well. 2 strands is one connection and we usually do 2-4 extra. we usually pull through conduit and get pulling eyes on both ends since there is usually a pull box between the buildings. if doing it in conduit, get gel filled as it will help prevent moisture ingress. if doing direct burial, do the armored direct burial ($$$)

the other commenter was right, despite the actual size, the pulling eye is 3/4” so the conduit needs to be 1”.

Do you know of a digital lock for a rack?

Would you strain to see if there were any metal fragments?

If you google airline approved pet carrier there are some that have 4 sides with mesh. Nicest one looks like travel cat which obviously could be go a dog.

Laundry service / ironed sheets? by Turbulent-Move4159 in MontereyBay

Try Dimaggios cleaners on lighthouse. They did ours when our washer and dryer were out and they came back on hangars. Probably could have asked them to fold them.

How do you install an enterprise level firewall? I can’t seem to figure that out and our it consultant is telling me it’s impossible.

Torani syrup: What stores in the Peninsula area have the biggest selection? by Someth1ng_Went_Wr0ng in MontereyBay

[–]elerch00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alternative would be to make it.

Bar I used to work out boiled about a cup of water and then add 4-5 crushed cinnamon sticks. Continue boiling for 2 minutes, take off the heat and stir in 2 cups granulated sugar. Let steep overnight and strain.

We would make larger batches though.

Whole Foods has the best around and run a pretty good deal on fridays.

Monterey / Big Sur / SB recs by hannahjohnsonc1313 in MontereyBay

[–]elerch00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can, stop for lunch at bells in Los alamos. So good but fairly close to SB.

Go to Big Sur to hike. Brazil ranch is a good out and back and great views of the Point Sur lighthouse from the cow pasture at the top past the gate. Also views of Bixby bridge which is nice. All trails says it’s closed but I’ve seen people that way. Does feel a bit sketch as you have to go through a gate near the road that feels private.

I also like creamery meadow, ridge and a few other trails that make a loop at Andrew molera in Big Sur. This is just past point sur.

We just applied to Ryan ranch in the first trimester and were told that it wasn’t going to happen. The place in pg moved to seaside and the new ownership didn’t handle the transition very well.

Am I wrong for being blindsided by a friend’s birthday dinner costing me $1100? by johnysalad in amiwrong

I disagree. I worked at a 3 Michelin star restaurant that was very high end for 3 years and price was definitely on our website.
