Hey Larry, IIRC you heat water with excess solar power, right? I
noticed this 120V 2000W element while looking for something else. It has a lower resistance for its power and may be a better match to solar panels than 240V elements. https://www.amazon.com/Dernord-Immer...890496&sr=1-10 |

When I can afford to upgrade to 3-5kw of solar, I may go with a 240v + 120v inverter and an auto breaker switch. -- If we can ever make red tape nutritional, we can feed the world. --Robert Schaeberle |

He will be here tommorow. He lives in Oregon and comes down to visit his family once a year. I gave him a milling machine and he is coming to pick it up, along with anything else I can foist off on him. Laugh..none of my friends that come to visit..ever go home empty handed. Ive got so much spare Stuff that I use my friends to haul stuff away, rather than bothering with yard sales. Humm..I wonder if he can use a Proto 3/4" socket set ? Closing down that factory last month..I brought way too much stuff home and am running out of room. Hell..I really dont need (7) sets of 3./4" drive and 2 sets of 1" drive sockets and ratchets. I do have air impact wrenches from 1/4" - 1"...the 1" one is one heavy ******* and I may..may use it once a year. Shrug. Ive got to unload the Aciero V22 mill drill and the fridge full of welding rods from the trailer..Its been in the alley for 2 weeks and I need to go make sure Ive got propane for the forklift. As to him being available...He was posting here yesterday..so I thought Id try to catch him. I was a bit surprised to see him posting on Friday..as he was supposed to be here the next day..today. But he is running a day behind. He is retired..so..shrug. Its at least a 600 mile drive so it will take him a day and a half or so to get here. Hence my surprise at seeing his posting. So does your family ever come to visit you? Or is the shame too much for them? Thats assuming you werent the throwaway child of a coke addicted alky hooker. Hummm?

Hoarding crap to give away to "friends" who only visit for freebies. Here's a newsflash: if you had any real friends, they'd be staging an intervention. Not that it would do any good for someone so far gone. |

He lives in Oregon On Averill Dr. in Grants Pass... and comes down to visit his family once a year. To get a hand-out from his brother Bruce, the successful lawyer in Vista (San Diego County) who can't believe what a toilet Larry has made of his life. |
