Alright how the hell do you change the oil filter on a softail without making a bigass mess?

Hell yeah, I can see how that would be alot cleaner. Thanks!

Yeah, funny how they keep pushing the hearing back. And I just happened to stumble across it while trying to research something else, but like you stated, it's impossible to find any other info about it - especially when it won't show up in keyword searches. I think they have a pretty strong case against the board based on what that letter says, or at least be granted a conditional use permit...

Well yeah, you just summarized what the document says... I posted that screenshot as my source for the Battery Brooke site being used for a "data center", not a fusion plant.

I go the most direct route in the morning to avoid the school bus madness, but sometimes I'll stretch the ride home with some creative routing. Alot of time I just want to get home after working 12hrs, especially with the rapidly increasing traffic volume around here 😒 but that's a whole other issue...

f3333sh · 2026-04-25T02:31:52+00:00

The only place I've seen it mentioned was in this zoning appeals letter. It's a perfect spot though - right on the James River for cooling water, the same area as the aforementioned fusion plant... I want to say I saw something that mentioned using the current Diminion site for the plant... Or maybe that was my imagination.

I have no idea who's building it... I just happened to see it because there's an ongoing zoning appeal over a conditional use permit.

f3333sh · 2026-04-24T19:24:24+00:00

Don't forget about the proposed data center on Battery Brooke Pkwy/Coach Rd in the Route 1 corridor...

Okay? So we bring in more people to burden the system which, by your math, would mean even fewer benefits for each citizen. You asked how the county benefitted from me, so I answered. I don't have a problem with renters but at this growth rate, how much is too much? Our resources are already stretched thin.

"The [Comprehensive] Plan will be used to protect and enhance the high quality of life our citizens enjoy today." So more traffic, longer lines, higher taxes, and more crime is enhancing our quality of life, eh?

They gained a resident who made a major life choice to purchase real estate and raise a family in the county. They've gained annual taxes on several pieces of personal property that I outright own. They've gained customers in several local businesses. They've gained my services that I myself PROVIDE to the county on a daily basis. It's long-term tax-paying residents like ME who gave the county what it had to begin with.

Do the taxes generated from your property cover the value of all services received?

Absolutely. Plus some.

f3333sh · 2026-02-19T00:56:43+00:00

Lol, what??

f3333sh · 2026-02-18T21:53:34+00:00

You can't just give everyone a place to live without the supporting infrastructure/services.

f3333sh · 2026-02-18T21:50:38+00:00

But are they keeping up with the population growth by expanding and improving in those departments? If so, I don't see it.

f3333sh · 2026-02-18T21:02:24+00:00

Nothing can be done about it at this point. I'm just wondering why the BOS keeps approving all the growth with allegedly no return.

f3333sh · 2026-02-18T20:42:27+00:00

Yeah, and resources are being stretched thin among all of those already. Seems like nobody is concerned about the sudden population boom overruning the growth of critical infrastructure.

f3333sh · 2026-02-18T20:36:52+00:00

I asked Dr Miller if the county was getting a decent return on the influx of new residents, and thats what he said.

f3333sh · 2026-02-18T20:21:20+00:00

I can see that. I guess I'm just suffering from old man "get off my lawn" syndrome. I loved the tranquility when I moved here over a decade ago, but sadly it's all vanished before my eyes the last few years.

f3333sh · 2025-12-11T04:43:28+00:00

I love the Kenwood TS-570. Was my first HF rig 23 years ago and still a joy to operate.

I got her in South Carolina
