I’m beautiful and tough like a diamond…or beef jerky in a ball gown.

  • If I do, then it’s in ways I’m totally blind to.

    I’m gay but I have to remind even close friends of that fact from time to time lol.

    I’m a huge Star Trek nerd, but I can’t quote plot points and episode numbers like bible verses.

    I work in IT but I’m far from the as-seen-on-TV geek / graybeard. (thankfully that stereotype is fading away for the most part).

    I’m sure there are some stereotypes I fit into that I’m just not aware of, but the ones I am aware of I tend to buck.







  • I just got my two 314 AH batteries and 10KW inverter yesterday, so I’m not at the “spare solar power” point yet, but a lot of people will have a second electric water heater (in “front” of the main one) that acts as a dump load and pre-heats the water before it gets to the main tank.

    I’m looking at getting a Slate EV truck hopefully next year, so that will also charge from my installation.

    Grid-tie and exporting surplus PV generation isn’t an option for me due to electric company shenanigans.

    I suppose when I do get to the excess PV point, I might just buy additional batteries
