Fred and a 10 month old Rottweiler had no quit. They would roll around for many hours and kept it up for many days. The Rotti was probably 20-30 lbs heavier but they had good attitudes for the most part. They were both disgusting and soaked in drool.

Or ahole kids. I don't know if he clarified if they are 177 pellets or shotgun pellets. Neither are good.

That is such a great bike that is also probably the cheapest running bike you can buy. I've never understood why they trade so low.

If it was a one-time event, I wouldn't fire the parts cannon. To replace a main IIRC, you are required to pull the meter as there is a crap ton of power available on those wires if someone screws up.

I was hoping that by going with Nest, I could yell at google to silence them. Sadly, that rarely works and I need to press the button on one of them to stop the noise. That raises the threshold on the alarming device for enough minutes that I haven't had one go off again.

They also make split panels if you don't need that many circuits. Same concept, smaller packaging. Generator interlock is the tie between the two parts of the panel.

That's far from a myth. Your EV is an anomaly. Most are coming with lots more hp, torque off the line and weight. Those are all rough on tires. You picked a great choice for a commuter.

Holding the breaker on shouldn't work anymore. To stop that stupidity (and the ultimate level of using a piece of wire to permanently hold it on), they can trip without moving the handle. I don't know when that change was made.

How many did you need? Yikes. Costco has 2-packs for $140. For the last round of replacements, I used Nest protect. Cost me a bloody fortune but they were the only ones I could find that would identify which one was triggering the alarm. They also allow hard-wired and battery to be linked...

It depends on how you define inflation. If you use the official government numbers, they barely keep up. If you use the real number that you feel, not a chance, they are slipping fast. Not as fast as cash though.

10% assumes market risk (s&p 500 index fund). Business also has risk. GIC has capital protected but risks inflation eroding buying power. Everything has risk, some is just more obvious.

A nice (but afaik not code compliant in Canada for furnace) approach is to have two electrical systems in place in a few key locations. Move the plug from black receptacle to red receptacle and it is on the generator. Receptacles for furnace, fridges and one beside his TV and you can power the...

A 2000W generator can likely handle that load (assuming gas furnace and not a plasma TV).

The problem with generlink in many houses is the meter is very exposed to the street. That puts the generator (or a thick extension cord) in a very visible location that is easy for dirtbags to steal. I prefer transfer switches and wiring to allow you to locate the generator in a more secure and...

You can't fix stupid but you can make it really expensive.

Correct. In the first case, there is obviously most of your house still grid connected but the generator and grid are completely isolated.

And in fact, it would remove many of the surge loads when the power is reconnected. Even with the generator connected, I'd be surprised if the main blew. I would expect the grid to hammer the poor generator. A dumb generator would probably get pulled into phase almost instantly (big inrush...

The business has a value beyond the building. They have a customer base, a recognizable brand, a history of sales, inventory, industry contacts, etc. For the right price, it's easier to buy a functional business than to start from scratch. It all comes down to money. It is possible that the...

Some of the bosch dishwashers have something similar to a molex plug that the cord attaches to. They come with a plug but you can buy a replacement cord that terminates in a box/wires. It may just be crap installation with improper contact/torque. I don't know the cause.

I preferred NS and NB over PEI. I would skip pei next time.
