i was in the kitchen messing around and it started getting darker and darker out the window. After a few minutes Thor dropped his hammer on my roof, and now there's thunder and lightning and pouring down rain. I should mention that it was a beautiful sunny day until then.

Just had a quick look at a website about them.
it would cost me about £6k to buy them and I would only save about £90 - £210 a year on bills. So it would take me at least 30 years to get my money back.
The government incentive scheme ended on 31 March so I wouldn't get any payment from them for generating or sending to the grid.
It's looking less attractive now apart from being environmentally friendly.
Wonder if I could put a wind turbine on the top of my washing line pole instead?:rolleyes:


There are other ways to have solar other than your electric company. I installed a series of solar panels that charge large 12v deep cycle batteries. From the batteries (DC) i have a DC to AC (alternating current) converter that i use for small scale electric use. Just popping to say there are many ways to “have solar” depending on what you want to power (entire house, just your TV, recharge cell phones, etc). Good luck!

Here’s where I got my panels from - https://www.goalzero.com/

I would take the storm for a visit from Thor .... he can drop his hammer on my roof any day [emoji23]

Good evening! Today has been a good day for us.. son had an appointment at his eye specialist this morning and he has no permanent damage!!! He had 4 blisters In his eye but they are healing well now. He will continue medication for a couple weeks but we are over the worst.. we came home and I did a little gardening in the sunny weather with Toretto following my every move.. a couple hours later, I noticed that he was MIA... I looked everywhere and even asked my son if he had the gate open any. Finally, I went over and peeked in the door of his box and..... he was in There on his mat!!!! YAYYY... but wait, it gets better... today is weigh day so I sent my son in the box to bring him out so I could soak n weigh. When we finished, I just put him down in the yard... 30 min later, he was back in the box.. [emoji322] [emoji324] [emoji323] [emoji95].

Great. They really do figure out where their “spot” is. Nice.

Hello Ray. I would love to sing with you. I am always singing alone. But you are too far away too:(
I have tried singing by myself. I have found out that after my tracheotomy after the accident my range is not as good. Cant get as low or high as I use to. Haven't tried karaoke since. Thinking about getting a karaoke because with my wife from the Philippines. When there is a party someone always brings the karaoke machine. It is big with Filipinos.

I'm going to sing even if I can only croak. I like hearing toads so...that's karaoke fun.
