That's an incredibly good rate.

 

Yeah, very fortunate. Our hydro-electric dams in the area are awesome.

 

Gas is the best to cook on!!!
Most people want to be on natural gas here; if you have to get propane filled, it’s super pricey!!!
The gas company actually gives you rebates when you install newer/hi efficiency windows, same thing with 80%+ furnaces

 

It's like @Randy Morton said....almost 10 cents kWh, .09434 and they do use the 5 digits when doing 30 day avg.....every penny adds up !

 

another Wisconsin Tacoma has found me.. and if the shop this guys talking to cant fix the frame.. i have first dibs on a 98 3.4 supercharged 5 speed manual Tacoma...

 

Yes it is! A lot of people around here have gas, just for that reason alone.

 

One thing I loved about my Momma(God rest her soul) was that she would lie to her son in a good way and make him believe anything !

 

1. I purposely got my feet in that shot of the UCAs because I know you weirdos like feet.

2. People that prefer gas to electric to cook are bad at math.
I’ll argue the grate feels better to set a pot/pan on than the slicktop. But both methods cook equally well/poorly depending on the user.

 

you uh.. you going to use the stock springs on 5100s? if not.. i'll be interested in the stock springs... since i have a 4runner to build now too..

 

I've always had a harder time cooking on electric, just because I have a harder time gauging the heat level. I like seeing the flame more than trusting the dial but if you're used to it I don't think either is superior.

 

It’s been hot as all get out lately, and I’ve got a thing for s’mores………
You can’t roast a mallow inside on electric like you can gas……… just saying…….

 

Whatever makes you happy. No man is in a position to tell another man what should make him happy.

 

We're only bad at math until the power goes out. Then, we can light the burners with a lighter or match and generate heat in the winter, and cook year 'round.

 

Damn, at $0.103/kWh I thought I was getting a decent rate. Not so much anymore.

 

Big shout-out to @Tundradrenalin. Scored an OEM crank pulley for when I do the timing belt job for the mere price of shipping. The OEM pulleys are not cheap.

 

I got me a 130amp alt and some exhaust gaskets! The denso 150 has been out of stock for a while. So fuck it 130 for now

 

oof checked right now and the 150 is in stock now.. Eh save a big chunk of money with this 130 amp

in other news my new power steering lines that were inter-galactically back ordered finally showed up from toyota saturday. i need to order the derale power steering cooler now and devise a bracket to mount it and the tow package conversion is complete

 

@FrenchToasty I know you're a bird dude! Here's some shots with a short story, followed by a few brief questions.










There's a couple of birds that are nesting on the smoke shack out front of the plant. I had the great pleasure of watching one of the birds try to catch bugs off the inside of the carport here, and feed the youngins in the nest. There's at least three babies. No feathers yet, just down.

Momma or poppa will fly up to the light, and hover. Hovering and moving about to catch bugs. I thought it was so cool to be stuffing my face while momma was trying to stuff theirs!

Any idea what kind these are? I realize my pictures aren't the best. I did a quick Google, but with no luck.

Any kind of feed I can leave out for momma to give the youngins?

 

They look like the swallows we get up here every year. They build little mud nests. Following along for more info.

 

@Tundra2 you should download the Merlin Bird ID app and use it for fun on your shmoke breaks.

 

Plumbing and wiring done in the basement.. spray foam guys coming Thursday… this is why I can’t get shit done on the cars
And the boiler setup I was talking about a few days ago…

 

Ive always wanted a basement.

 

It’s nice.

but w/e I decide to build will have no basement. Because it will be one massive garage. Because all my hobbies require a garage.
