Ok, so I think we're settling in on a Saturday June 1 potluck at my house for breakfast, from 8 am to noon. Don't worry if you can only make part of it, you're still welcome. Bring a partner and well behaved and supervised children if you like. Even if this will be your first time meeting with us, please feel free to join us.

We are in Irvine, not far from UCI. Once we get a sign up list, I'll send you address and directions via private message (PM).

Weather should be nice, so we can do an indoor- outdoor event using our patio and back yard. The house isn't huge, but we should do fine.

Solar powered charging will be available for one car at a time on our AV 30 Amp unit, plus some trickle charging as well.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . snip . . . . . . . . . .

a smart group like this - who needs trickle charging. EVERYBODY ... bring your easy 240 boxes - see if we can dim Phil's lights !! :lol:
Hi Phil - call me Johnny-come-lately ... or at least, Johnny come read the thread 4 days subsequent to post. I know we're heading back up to Montana just after June 1, so let me ask "she-who-must-be-obeyed" - who is currently out doing an open house just around the corner. I'll get back later if I'm given permission to confirm - one way or the other.

I will attend if this Saturday's meeting runs long. 11:15am would probably be the earliest I could get there, traffic willing.

Hey, anybody got ~6 feet of 1.5" flex metal conduit for an electric circuit?

 

[garygid]

Why such large diameter conduit?
Would 1-1/4" diameter work?
Metalic, or non-metalic conduit?
African or European swallow?

Maybe (do I hear any votes?):

Potato Chips and salsa
Death by Chocolate Cake
Cheese

If cheese is on the ballot, that'll always get my vote! But then again, death IS inevitable, and chocolate cake is not a bad way to go.
