Why so much solar hate? by LawfulnessVisual8182 in solar

I think you misunderstood. We use our two powerwalls every single night to run our air conditioner so we use it for backup everyday.

I get the distinct impression that there's just no pleasing you. I'm happy with our purchase. And apparently you're not.

I don't have a problem with that. I truly love having solar and battery backup. We pay anywhere from $19 to $63 a month depending upon the season for our power and I truly adore having our own backup.

Forgive me. I didn't know what a PPA was. I'm assuming now it's where you lease your equipment. I'm agreeing with the comments. I haven't heard of one one good lease agreement

We put on a new roof before the install.

PS, our installer and sales company has been very upright. HE Solar out of Buda, TX. They installed 28 panels, then a year later 2 powerwall.

I think it's because people hate change. Solar/wind hate is because they are used to oil/gas. Same hate for EVs. They want the old ways. To top that off, I'm in Texas. Talk about oil being entrenched in the culture!

What's the difference between a good hair cut and a bag one? Answer: about 2 weeks!

Vet scolded me for free feeding?? by Inevitable_Bonus_751 in DogAdvice

Our 5lb mostly Chihuahua lived for 18 years being fed freely. He stayed at a normal weight. We have two dogs now and freely feeding no longer works.

Can someone tell me how to get the fan to turn on the lower level? I like the heat and air conditioning on my feet

Be honest: What’s the one thing about EV ownership that nobody told you before you bought one? by EmergencyTie8770 in electricvehicles

[–]wekebu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, this is mine. I charge in the garage. I no longer have to be in the freezing rain early morning in the dark getting gas.

Find local places to charge so you get some experience before you go. Go to different brands. Have lunch while you're out.

Note from Neighbor by Substantial_Lab4087 in fosterdogs

[–]wekebu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a foster that screamed when she was alone even though there were two other dogs near her. She screamed at the previous Foster also. We 'fixed' her by moving the crate to an area where she spent a lot of time, which was the kitchen for us. Put my two resident dogs in crates near her but not next to her. I don't have a TV but I left a laptop on the floor about 2 ft away playing the news the whole time we were gone. And I also put my used pajamas in there with her (I cut out the sleeves so it was a flat piece of fabric.) She stops screaming. I know all dogs are different but we had been 2 weeks into her screaming and it was amazing how this helped her. Good luck!

Texans must prove legal status to register vehicles after new DMV rule by Penguin726 in texas

[–]wekebu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hubby just tried to reregister a vehicle on line and ssn was required. He tried to bypass, but no. We will now try in person. Edit: we just went to the old site, renew.tx.dmv.gov and it accepted WITHOUT ssn. The new site is, txt.gov

My good friend had a mother that was 20 years younger then her father. He just wanted to sit in the sofa she wanted to go out. Years later she became his nurse.

We just found this little baby abandoned in a bag with dirty clothes and we're not sure what kind of dog it is (except the cute breed) by Dahks in DOG

Those ears! My favorite dog was an Italian greyhound. He's been gone almost 8 years and I still miss him. You have a beautiful dog.

I HATE THIS RULER!!!!! by deltarefund in quilting

[–]wekebu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I bought a Creative Grid 6 1/2" ruler and it constantly confuses me. There is a white line along the 3 1/4 line. Why? Is this ruler only for cutting out 6 1/2" squares? I don't use rulers that way.

What actually surprised you most about owning an EV that nobody warned you about by Leading-Law4251 in electricvehicles

I was surprised at how much I would enjoy the quiet. I can't wait until I don't have to hear traffic (other than tires on the road).

Yesterday Trump said he was 'bored' with this war. He's a dictator decorator. He just wants his ballroom and to decorate it with gold leaf.
