Jay any chance you can replace fuse yourself?

David- The production stopped ~5.06.23. I thought it was a communication problem which usually resolves itself after a couple of reboots and maybe a day or 2 to reconnect. After the 4th unsuccessful reboot I walked down to the array and there were no LEDS, blinking lights, nothing. In the same timeframe I got an email from the energy collaborative with which We are members basically stating that through their energy tracking they knew that We were not producing and would not approve a non licensed electrician installation. It was a similar situation with the installers. I bet that We are not the only residential producers around here who met the same fate. I am already in their service queue which will be in a couple of weeks. I really do not want to create "problems" after getting that recent +$500 quarterly dividend deposit from them. I really can not complain We have received only 2 electrical bills since 12.2017. This is a copy and paste of their email:

"Please find attached a detailed report of these alerts. Note, if you are a system owner, all troubleshooting steps indicated in each alert should be handled by a qualified installer and not by an unauthorized person."

I know what you mean about the fuses..... so simple I could easily fry myself

Guess who just showed up. It was starting to froth up after tasting that "loaded" suet. I guess some of the feeders will becoming down. I rarely see bears messing around with the nectar feeders and they apparently do not like oranges (yet)>

That's a really nice trailer Drew. We call them car haulers down here. Would love to have one.

Flail back in service

While lift pins pointed outward was my preferred fix, it didn’t work. Could only attach if the extendable lift arms were fully extended

Pointing inward did but had to use a short bushing in the pin side hole as it was Cat2 size and a double washer due to non threaded portion.

Still wish the threaded portion about 1/2 “ longer. Will have to monitor nuts.

Will do a test mow after lunch.

Blue loctite should undo ok, the red is tough.

Correct, thank you Dennis
I used the red for that reason, hoping they don’t vibrate loose.

Understand, Jay.

just emailed my neighbor and told her to tell the lawn guy, who we both use, to weedeat every week, not every two as now. Grass is growing too much.
I just did the whole place and back is not happy.
need to sit and take the proverbial load off.

very pleased to see my honey and borax mixture works like a charm. Supposed to take up to 48 hours to work
but those guys are moving awfully slow after I put it down yesterday. If I could only find where they are getting in.
This is over by my house plants inside. Need to check the two I put in rv.

Drew,
Just a thought. Does your power cord stuff in a hole in the side of the tv or does it connect via a female plug?

plugs into a standard receptacle on outside of rv.
I have soaked a line of mint spray all around rv, and really soaked the drainage plumbing pipes with the mint spray.
I think I'll spray the power cord tomorrow, good idea. But that would only get them on outside of rv. I have no water leaks so don't believe they are getting in through
windows. They aren't coming in the shower drain. Not any more.
best thing I can do is poison them and have them go die somewhere else.

I even used a little borax in last load of clothes with very dirty jeans.
I have plenty of honey and plenty of borax, and plenty of cardboard, so need to make some more.

Friday night. what kind of mischief can we get into tonight?...

 

[jbrumberg]

Understand, Jay.

It's frustrating that I know the solution, but.... I have enough drama in my life. It is what it is......

If it was my system, I would be an authorized person.

Lost another post. Trying to take a picture in the app crashes it.

Wife returned today from a week of helping her mom and aunt.
Took her out tonight to the tavern of the Dobbin house in Gettysburg.
Nice evening.

Got home and a flower pot with seeds planted was overturned. The suspect is asleep and won’t talk.

Dennis- This "challenge" is really making me angry... but I've been known to really screw myself with self-advocacy dealing with situations beyond my control.

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 2C and it's presently 16C, mostly sunny and calm... and, no, there was no rain even though the 'Bureau of Many-guesses' predicted a 40% chance.

The horse paddock transfer went very well. So much so, and the weather was so nice & calm, (and I was 'dressed' for work) that I decided to chain-harrow and Z-turn mulch Paddock #4 right away.

Which means today's plans are 'whatever'.

That's about it, take care all.

Couldn't you move the jamb nut to that it bared on the full size nut? Then it would have full thread engagement, and you wouldn't need the LocTite.

Hadn’t considered that. Was trying to take advantage of the double ‘ears’. Now that I think, wonder if I put both nuts inside, against appropriate ear?
