I've thought about doing that. My summer bills are trivial, currently, but my winter bills are high due to having mostly electric heat. So, I use electricity when the sun doesn't shine. In fact, it's a bit worse in this valley because the winter inversion often means that we're under/in thick clouds for weeks on end. So, I probably can't generate when I use the most electricity.Quote:

Seems better to keep all we generate for use whenever and not have them ding us for a "delivery" charge on electricity we sold back to them. Just more ways to nickle and dime us so we get nothingQuote:

Do they offer free solar cookies?
They don't offer free anything, not even a free kick in the pants...which nobody wants to begin with.
We have some companies offering free solar here but you dont own the panels and any extra electricity is not yours
We appear to do a lease to own kind of thing, primarily, but the power company doesn't want too many people taking them up on the offer. Basically, you spread the cost out over a lengthy period of time. I haven't looked into it very closely, at this point. Too many uncertainties, at the moment.
Another evening of slaving away taking out our avocado tree. My neighbor is helping and we finally got it out after 3 days of part time work (due to the heat). Its a massive stump!
Where's Chenko gone?
Wheres the beef?
Inside the iguana.
the iguana is inside the cow
Everything is inside your mind.
I had a kitty-cat walk past my tent two nights back on my last night out. It was a BIG kitty-cat, though. I didn't see it, but found the prints in the dust the next morning. At first I thought it was a dog, despite having no claw marks. When the tracks left the trail and didn't come back, I realized that it had to have been a mountain lion.
Fortunately, it didn't appear to have caught my scent, or it likely would have tried to bury me.
Maybe he didnt like your scent :lol:Quote:

The post race slid while I was counting fish. If you can't count on fish, what can you count on? Fingers are so old school.
Fish can count on fins
That's only up to five...Quote:

Arg! Today is talk like a pirate day and we nearly missed it!
How much does it cost a pirate to get his ears pierced????? A Buc-An-Ear
What???? One bad joke and the thread just dies.
So who is storming Area 51 on Friday? :lol:
It may only have been one, but it was worth hundreds.Quote:

I don't get the reference but I'm intrigued...Quote:

Maybe we don't need to, the US Navy confirmed these UFO videos are the real dealQuote:

Pirates had two eyes. The patch was just to protect the one eye from the daylight, so when they had to go below decks to fight they could remove the patch and see to fight in the sudden darkness as that eye would already be adjusted for seeing in the dark. A great advantage over a retreating sailor who would be suffering temporary "night blindness" when chased into a dark space. (Sorry about serious input to joking banter :rolleyes: )
Wheres all the area 51 live streams? :lol:
That place is so barren there are no streams, live or otherwise.
Sounds like it was a bit of a bust and only 150 people turned up. Probably not a bad thing. I can't help feeling a mass of people trying to storm a military base might not end well:eek:Quote:

That wouldn't be a random sampling of the population, either. A bunch of people who made it through the filter to show up at that place would be....a very interesting crowd.
Glad to see this is still going...
Is this thread really going, or is the government making you think it is going.......Quote:

Unheard of....and from, for that matter.
First October 2019 Post Race post.
It would've been ironic if it would've been a double post.
Third October 2019 Post Race post.
Well that wasn't very exciting....
wow. Your post was 64064, which is simply a cool number. Here's the question.... Who will post the 65,000th post in Post Race? Will it be you or will it be me..... :cool:Quote:

The encoded protein localizes to the mitochondrion. This gene is intronless, and a pseudogene of this gene is located elsewhere on chromosome 1.Quote:
