If you account for inflation over the decade, it's ridiculously inexpensive today to utilize sun power in most areas in the United States. Great video!

A friend of mine and I rode our Harley's from Texas to Banff and on the back way stopped there. He had been a T-33 instructor and fortunately saw the T-33 on the pylon in front. We had a great visit with the really nice folks and decided we'd just start stopping at museums since the scenery had been about as good as it gets. We ended up visiting the SAC museum in Omaha to top off the trip.

Good for you Nanton and congratulations for all those hard working guys that put this plane together. Its a real prize to have it.

Imagine dozens of them with their engines running ready to go on "ops"....

Was this Warbird Lancaster built in Canada?

Nice options.

Holy crap, the mountain of aggravation you saved me. Thanks man!

Very nice solar setup. I have four 450 watt panels, a LiTime 60amp controller, three 100ah Power Queen LiFePo4 batteries and a 2000 watt LiTime inverter. I am still slowly adding stuff and upgrading as solar is my hobby and addiction. Greetings from Jamaica.

I just started my solar power project after the 2021 deep freeze in Texas and am amazed at how quickly the price has dropped and the quality has improved in the short time. I don’t regret getting started sooner even though I paid more. I paid cash and will recover the investment in a couple of years.

Blame for what? He pulled out about 5 seconds in front of you (it took you 5 seconds to get to the intersection). Then he slowed down looking for something, you still did not do anything. Your response is very last second. Good save? Rather luck, because the situation was cooking for a long time and you did not react.

you

At fault is the US code which says you use red turn indicators that arent visible. The guy had his indicator on and you didnt see it.

What materials did you use to Build This? I want something like this for my Setup

1:50 You're Really TALL, Lol

Its Troys fault. Just saying.....

I think you can share the blame, Tim. He shouldn't have pulled out in front of you in such a hurry, and you were obviously going too fast. 🚴

White pick up could not wait at corner for your vehicle to pass then enter street? What is the urgency to make a left hand turn 25' later? Was it a liquor store or a maggot infested dumpster to dive into or did he spy the perfect place to pan for gold? Glad to spare yourself a day in traffic court & interview with auto insurance agent.

I just went to a website called Yoshino first solid state solar generator that's the latest

Glad you are exploring trails on the e-bike, nice gaggle of Canadian geese some regard them as purveyors of unwanted lawn fertilizer.

Im not sure that you need advice but in my opinion it's best to run your airconditioners as much as possible from solar during the day because they use significantly more power when it's hot. Im not talking about trivial numbers it can be 25% pretty easily from what Ive seen. Minisplits are difficult to see and compare the differences because theyre variable, but central and window units is very obvious. Have you paid attention to their consumption during different temperatures/times and factored that into your timing of running them?

Thanks for the update!

I will wait for your 2035 update - if man is still alive.

Mono perc bifacial, all paralell, gravel ground mount with white marble. anchors in front and stakes in rear. busted panel frames for rear stakes and self tap screws to prop to 20 degrees. cheap, safe effective. Then use the outback inverter chargers, if you can do 3500w then they work GREAT and they ARE EFFICIENT and are easy to install, the ONLY thing they need is a isolation switch. Then if you need 240, just have two tied together. Then for batteries ALWAYS go with lifepo4 and just get the 320ah cells, 16 to make 48v for efficeincy and cheaper copper wires. They can be ordered direct from china, under 1000 dollars for 16kwh and they are legit. then you can diy the bms its really simple and its a steal when its all installed. Mount all of it in a sams or costco rolling cabinet, or fasten one to the wall and wire it up, add cement board on the back for a most safe system Used panels (500)-1000 i got 5000w of panels for 200 which is dirt cheap mount free rock 100 wire 60 outback used 1000 ea cells 1000 bms 120 cabinet 200 wire to house 100 other 250 ALL- 3330, off grid safe, clean effective, lots of power, enough to get you through overcast days, and hot summers off grid doable 365 days a year

Fascinating and informative.

I've had 5.0 KWH solar panels since 2015... my electricity bill is $35 per month. and it's cut down my heating bill to $75 in January, in Saskatchewan.... I'm not sure if I've paid them off yet, but, my bills are sure cheap!

I'm just now trying to do something similar. Just bought the Ecoflow Delta Ultra Pro, waiting for it to arrive. I haven't bought any solar panels yet, gotta research on the most cost effective setup for that. Planning to test it by putting a few panels on a Lifetime plastic shed near my garage.

1.68 kWh wow, big money! That's, what, 24¢? Your solar arrays are amazing!

I think i just met my future self... So weird, everything i wanna do and everything is almost setup the same i want... im 39 lol.

Pretty cool dream setup. I would have picked a different power station but i really respect this

Guess in 2011 Tim opted not to purchase: The Complete DIY Solar Panel Guide. He chose wisely.

Hey, I'm an old guy, and I go to bed at 6AM!

Nice solar set up...Funny you mention that song in the year 2525...It was the first song I heard when I was young moving to Nashville, TN.

There's a hurricane my way and it's supposed to be 45 MPH so thanks

Your fans are covered. Any problems with over-heating next to refrigerators?

I feel inadequate...

Tim a clever fellow harvesting solar power living the good life rocking down to Electric Avenue.

Might be enjoying a sunny free ride, but those vibrations must be rattling your back teeth.

Great idea new EcoFlow delta pro 3 and EcoFlow delta smart Duo fuel Generator 4000 watts test it out on CZcams video 😮👍

Just take it back to the store

RIP Wrangler May 25th 2024 :(

I would have done it for free. "here Timcat, hold my beer and watch this"

Been through a few tornados in Kansas, always hail big enough to crack a windshield, leave dents on the hood & roof of the car, one can kiss the sideview mirrors goodby too. Most folks look for a highway overpass to park underneath, gets crowded. A masochistic personality would have taken you up on going out in that downpour for a few bucks, best to stay inside.

Gophers are smart. I've seen the documentary, Caddy Shack.

I salute your table of memories, not a speck of dust. How's the e-bike coming along?

A golf course would be green with envy with a backyard smooth as velvet. Geez year 4 for the fence. Recall the hand digging of post holes, you sure got a mega dose of vitamin D from the 🌞

Lawn's looking positively English, Tim. 😁 It's been a nice day here, today. Makes a pleasant change.

They should put rails on those roads...

Cool song...Have you heard that Troy has been missing for 3 months...No goodbye or nothing. Do you think that drone finally took him out?

Memories & memorials are important you may seek an easel, plate displays, a shelf with a lip at the edge and a routed channel to hold your precious memories. Most available at various home decor stores or a handyman's workshop made to order or a lucky find at a flea market or estate sale.

Best thing in the world to take your buddy to work. Bet Wrangler looked forward to those times too.
