Just a quick wrap-up on the Celebration of Life for Gary. As Sparky said, it was a warm and joyous send-off for Gary. Gary would have been very pleased and would have enjoyed seeing the familiar faces (and the doggies), and the chocolate cake and ice cream. We had about 22 of Gary’s friends...

For those planning to join us for the Celebration of Life for Gary, here are a few more details on logistics at Mile Square Park on Saturday, February 18. Please Plan for arrival before 11 am.. A. As you enter the Park on Ward Street, off Edinger, the traffic light there was broken or off this...

Tom, it would be great to see you!

Jason, that photo is amazing! Thank you for sharing it. Good times!

Please note: The parking lot designations in my message above were taken from a map that has been revised. My post above has been edited and is now correct. The correct parking lots are : Best choice: Lot H, Second choices: Lots I or G. Overflow parking is behind the Natural Area. Thanks.

A Celebration of Life followed by a BYO/potluck picnic for Gary will be held on Saturday, February 18 beginning at 11 am at Mile Square Park in Fountain Valley. The gathering will take place in the Urban Natural Area in the north east quadrant the park. Enter the park off Edinger Avenue at the...

No, sorry. The pandemic put a stop to spending hours in a restaurant.

Smart man, Jeremy. Happy wife, happy life.

I looked ahead to this juncture and decided to add more solar panels to combat this change. I wasn’t quick enough to get the new array installed before the end of 2019, so I’ll have to be happy with the current 26% federal credit instead of the 30% I would have gotten last year, but as you say...

Nice report tbleakne. Sounds like a fun trip with a bit of excitement/challenge/inconvenience thrown in. Did you see any flowers in Borrego or is this season really a bust, as it seems.

Fascinating articles. Thanks. I didn’t realize that the utilities were specifically constrained on the percentage of gain they are allowed to offer to investors. One of my first thoughts is that Edison and the other two huge POUs are already going to see a large increase in revenue from the...

You made the environmentally responsible choice given that solar isn’t a good option for you, but Uncle Edison sure makes sure he gets his cut, right? By the way, I miss seeing you on FB and bumping into you at meetups and focus groups. Hope all is still fantastic with you. I keep getting...

You may well be correct. Still, those other plans have no good rates for car charging. At least we have a year or so to do some detailed analysis and figure which is best for solar and EV both.

I just did some quick calculations using TOU-PRIME. This rate plan has such simple details that it makes it pretty easy to estimate your yearly cost if you have your annual usage and your annual solar generation. That’s where the good news ends, though. My calculations yielded annual costs for...
