Our charge from the power company is 45.7 cents a kilowatt hour. It makes sense here but if I lived where you do I wouldn’t bother with solar.

I installed a 39 panel system on my RV garage 15 years ago and then 3 years ago I added 6 high efficiency panels because we installed a new, larger AC system that used more power. My property sits in a hollow with lots of oak and sycamore trees and ground mounting wouldn’t work well. Even now we have to have a few trees trimmed every 3 years or so to keep the panels charging in the winter months. We’re on an annual “true up” system that bills us for the year every October. We’ve never had to pay a power bill since we installed solar panels and my monthly usage notice email came the other day and we have a $497.00 credit for the current “true up” period. Our monthly bill was running anywhere from $900.00 to $1,700.00 a month before we installed the solar system. A friend of mine builds home solar systems and has access to tons of surplus panels that have been decommissioned for assorted reasons and the 6 high efficiency panels cost me $1,400.00 installed. Should I ever have to replace the 39 older panels they’ll cost a fraction of what we paid for them new 15 years ago. If I replace them with the high efficiency panels mentioned above the footprint for the system will be about 1/2 what it is now.

October 5-17th.

We’re they .44 Special or .44 magnum?

Sorry I’m so late getting back to you. The 2 that I have fit D models just fine but they do not fit an E model receiver well at all. There is a 3/16” ish gap between the receiver and the wrist of the stock and it looks like the tang is different also.

I think I have one, Ethan. I’ll hobble out to the shop a little later and let you know.

That’s pretty cool. Thanks for posting. Will you be using it for CAS matches?

I started using a cpap machine about 5 years ago and trying to get a good seal on the mask was impossible with a beard. I tried all different kinds of masks and none worked so I shaved my beard off so that I could sleep better at night using the cpap machine. I miss my beard but love a good nights sleep.

Mrs. Lose still gets a lot of citrus, lemons, oranges, grapefruit, etc.. because of her ties to many of the citrus producers out here so she makes fresh squeezed orange or grapefruit juice a couple of times a week and there’s always a jug of it in the refrigerator.

I’m sure glad it’s over. Mrs. Lose used to play soccer and coached Jr. high and high school soccer and is really into the World Cup so it was on a lot. She’d comment that something was really exciting and I got to where I’d just say “uh huh”. Recovering from hip replacement surgery, I’ve been a captive audience.

Out in the rural area where we live people occasionally dump their unwanted pets. Many years ago somebody dumped a pregnant pot bellied pig and boy was she mean. I wanted to shoot it but Mrs. Lose didn’t like that idea so we threw a tarp over it and my oldest son tackled it and tied it up and loaded it into my truck and I took it to a potbellied pig rescue outfit and gave it to them.

My wife, a Catholic says Yes they do. They issue a baptismal certificate when it’s done.

Mrs. Lose managed a large citrus and avocado ranch for 18 years or so and we had lots of grapefruit. 3-4 times a week I’d cut one in half and dig out the pulp with a grapefruit spoon. We drank a lot of grapefruit juice and whenever I grilled fish or chicken I’d use grapefruit juice as part of the marinade. We don’t eat near the amount of grapefruit that we did when she was working there but I still like grapefruit juice on ice and for marinade. There’s a couple of nearby fruit stands that sell nice Ruby red grapefruit.

Yes they can still be used for percussion. I’ve never had any leading issues using Kirst Konversion cylinders.
