    Poll: Do you have, or plan to get, an electric car?

    Here's an interesting video in emerging battery technology.

    Poll: Do you have, or plan to get, an electric car?

    Charging at home is fine for me and maybe you. But there's a hundred million americans that live in rentals, apartments, townhomes, condo's, especially in the cities, where charging at home, overnight, is just not an option. Those are the people that will be relying on fast charging stations. I...

    Poll: Do you have, or plan to get, an electric car?

    I think that there will be significant complications in the electrical grid as well. Just one 4 port fast charging station requires nearly 2000a @ 240v. To have a few pop up here and there is probably not a huge deal, but widespread adaptation of a lot of fast chargers, say as common as gas...

    Poll: Do you have, or plan to get, an electric car?

    It’s funny because only the lowest end models have lfp. Since they have lower c rating and are heavier, they’re not performance vehicles.

    Poll: Do you have, or plan to get, an electric car?

    I think the motivation is for people to stay with their car. I can go from 20% to 80% in 30min, which isn't terrible. The problem is there's only 4 chargers, and frequently there's a line of 2-3 cars waiting while all spots are full. And people take their charge to 100%. After 80%, the charge...

    So what did you do with your OTHER hobbies today?

    Everything I do is so unbelievably heavy... So I stood the 2 legs up and braced them. Then I lifted a 20' angle iron to where I needed and marked with wax pencil. I had to take each leg down, and cut them at the proper angle in the bandsaw. I had to take them back out and put them up and brace...

    What are you drinking now?

    Last night we sat up until 1:30am "tasting" the things I've made in the past couple months. Strait honey mead, dryhopped mead, cinnemon mead, espresso mead, mango wine, grape wine. Almost slept on the patio.

    Poll: Do you have, or plan to get, an electric car?

    All the charge points around here are 4-6kw, not worth it. If I need to top off I'll stop by the electrify america charger, i get a solid 150kw there.

    Poll: Do you have, or plan to get, an electric car?

    They have loiter fee's of i think 40 cents a minute after a 5 minute grace period, if you leave your car on the charger after it's finished, they charge a loitering fee.

    Grape juice wine

    My daughter is coming home next weekend and she asked me to save a bottle of mango for her, she missed the last batch and was upset. Honestly the mango has been my favorite so far.

    Grape juice wine

    I sell eggs from my chickens. I had a regular come by today and I gave her a glass of the grape to try. She tried it and said it it was excellent. I don't know how her standards are, but I gotta say, at least I'm not the only one that thinks it's half decent. I gave her a bottle to take home and...

    Poll: Do you have, or plan to get, an electric car?

    Last I checked the used price was about 18k, but you can get them new for 22k. Which is absolutely stunning for what it is. I know they're a bit rocky right now, but I've had the car for a year, and never had an issue. Sure there are a few dozen people out of 10k cars sold that have some...

    So what did you do with your OTHER hobbies today?

    Steel price is up already. Bummer. Went to the steel shop and picked up the rest that i need to finish my solar patio roof. $1300 worth of material on the trailer. They craned it on and the front end came up, so i took 400lb of chicken feed out of the truck and put it on the front of the trailer...

    Whiskey

    Old forester Prohibition is one of my favorites. OF 100 proof is the table whiskey. Right now i'm sipping on 3 fingers of Legent bourbon.

    Grape juice wine

    14 mango bottles, 15 mango bottles. Mango is 8/10, grape is 6/10. Not to say it tastes bad, it's just not as refined. I dropped carbonation tablets in 12 bottles each, into the boxes, taped up and dated. Will check back in a month. Remaining 5 bottles are on the shelf for enjoyment. I may have...

    Grape juice wine

    I have 7x 5-6g carboys and 10x 1g carboys. The wines I do are just keeping the 1 gallon's busy/full.

    How do you save it? How long is it good for?

    Poll: Do you have, or plan to get, an electric car?

    Had a burger and fries while charging the ocean and my wife shopped at the outlet. I think every car should come with tray tables.

    Grape juice wine

    Great advice but one question. What's a lee?

    Grape juice wine

    I haven't used bentonite. From what I read you're supposed to add it before fermentation? Did you have to add sugar? I'm trying to make something a step above prison hooch.
