At first I thought you meant the Aptera, which I believe I've been calling vaporware since it's inception.
watched the Aptera video. thanks for the heads up @6thElement ! perhaps my investment in them shall not be wasted. the new CF process is cool and the gear tunnel profile change is undeniably good. tent is super stupid

Leaves starting to turn here and there. Mostly green still
Highest yet estimated range at 100% thus far, I think
Rode around during 90 minute gymnastics class, plus ferrying here. Dropped to low assist. Seven speed freewheel has suboptimal gear spacing for riding acoustically

And that's a wrap! (Pun intended) Final bid was $93,000, meaning this person lost about $36,000 in about 4 months after accounting for accessories and C&B's 4% fee. That's $9k of depreciation per month. New buyers of the Cybertruck should expect to lose about $20k in value as soon as they...

I'd bid on that Greenworks lawn mower but truly no need for that

I have backed down from my dreams of a standing seam metal roof
class 4 shingles as an upgrade at no extra charge. signed on with the roofing company that completed my to-the-right neighbor's roof recently. $5k deposited with them (my deductible), and my out of pocket cost may end up being a bit less than that depending on what Nationwide ultimately shells out for gutters, hot tub cover, etc. that I don't plan to replace.
I still don't have an estimate for Nationwide but my contract is for their compensation to be Nationwide's payment ex deductible. they lose some and make some on various deals but come out ahead in the aggregate, and that's fine with me as my liability is thus fixed and predicable.

I wonder if the mountain house utility company will ever figure out that their smart meter (for net metering and time of use pricing) is reporting erroneous data
besides the whole "middle of winter" business, the astute reader will note that I didn't have the PV installed at this time...

I think you're going to regret this, living in the location you live in... but I get it.
roofing bro-dude said that hail of force sufficient to crack solar panels would also damage even a standing seam metal roof
But not stone-coated steel.
This looks fun

must be a bug in the visualization engine here, because their own figures don't match up.
going into this month's bill I had 545 kWh of overproduction banked with them. then this month the house used 105 kWh net (510 kWh produced, 615 kWh drawn from grid). 440 now in the bank.
Rode Belcher - Maverick - (lower half of) Upper Longhorn - Shorthorn - back down remainder of Belcher.
we discussed this very segment on Shorthorn about 6 years ago, @Nick . rode it today on the first try (downwards, this looking back up at it after riding it). line choice was to rider's right and that worked.
thunder and lightning audible off towards @6thElement but only got a few drops of rain and didn't get electrocuted or anything
this section on the climb 200' uphill past the insertion of Whippletree has been modified by the trail gnomes. now it's filled in on the left with dirt and rocks instead of the growing chasm. and that's eminently rideable.

second key fob for the Busy Forks: in my paws. But the original dealer forgot to give me the second key shank, the little slide out backup key. It’ll still work with the fob as long as the fob is alive, and won’t be an issue during our two years of leasing.
I left the original dealer’s customer relations manager a voicemail, though, to see if I can get this resolved on the up and up. Hopefully they can just mail me it. (As a side note my original sales guy, who did a great job all via email, no longer works for them. His desk phone has someone else’s voicemail on it now.)

Nice try but I don't own white socks.
The only Aptera to ever make it through production, most likely.
there will be no drama as I set it up on the mantle or the bookshelf
Tipped over 6k miles on the leased Busy Forks coming back from the car wash. Still like it. And it remains an amazing deal. (I’m a little ahead of the 12k/yr pace but that’s not a concern as it’ll be the second choice vehicle on weekends once ski season heats up.)

the solution to wheel flop issues on 1up racks. this part fits the pre-2024 models (as opposed to the wheel chock? I think they call it, for the new ones).

Can't say I've overly had a problem and we've used ours with anything from 4.8" fatties to 25mm road tyres. Just have to make sure the wheel is centered into the end cross support on the arms and that they're well synched down. Rare that we've moved the road bikes on the rack though.
