^^^ That is cool. Any idea the year? I had an opportunity years ago to get a 51 F3? I think it was an F3. Would have been a great complement to the F1 I have. I wish I would have had the money to do it.

Yep, head stomp on couch from 5yo to 2yo was what sent my wife over the edge last year. I've been over the edge since they were born, so it was nice of her to join me :D

I grew up with siblings and lots of cousins, I
thought crying and bleeding were normal occurrences. I spent a lot of time either trying to convince a sibling that they weren't actually hurt, or visa versa.

I believe it's a 61-66. It was cleaaan and appeared to have newer 8 lug simulators (I think that era was big 6?) My guess is they updated the orig axles, or put the cab on a newer chassis.

Got my projected usage for the shop power bill this month. Typically runs $45-50/month, with half of that being $20 service fee and taxes. Something seems a little off here...

I've already been warned about using them for my amusement by the Chief. Sent one of them to the town manager to grab the margarita machine. I thought it was funny. Apparently that's considered "misuse" of personnel.

Y'all don't still have meter readers out there do ya?
I'm pretty sure they're a thing of the past, so is all fairness in billing.

I assume they can come out and check. I'm assuming it is the shop based on average bill, but their useless report doesn't actually tell me which meter it is, nor account nickname, nor account number :rolleyes:. I did take pics of all the meters so I can check again in the morning and see how much dinosaur juice equivalence is consumed in a day :D

They quit reading mine years ago. I get charged what the "average expected usage" is. Its a crock of shit. I do little to nothing different year round. Then on every holiday or during a heat spell when everyone should be using the crap out of the AC, I get charged more. I've written down my exact usage many times and it doesn't reflect the bill at all, and call to the power company is completely pointless.

Ours are wireless and I can go online and view actual usage by day (maybe even by the hour).

Edit: actually down to the half hour. Here's night before last.
You can tell when it got chilly and the heat kicked on around 4am, and then see when it went up once everyone got up and about and started running water and turning on lights and cooking breakfast and such.

FWIW, last year when I was getting some wildly varying energy use even when we weren't home (we get a daily usage email from our EMC), I put in a energy monitor to track various circuits. (Turned out to be my septic pump was bad and would run 24 hours straight pushing water -- new pump drained the tank in < 30 minutes).

It has helped a lot figuring out when to save, and when to not worry about it (some things I thought were costing more were a mere blip on usage).

You can program it to alert you to certain draws, such as if oven is left running more than x hours, or lights left on in the crawl space.

I got two of them, one on outside panel, one on inside. Data "nests" instead of duplicates, since inside panel is a sub off the main. Also have a couple of plug-in adapters, so I can track dehumidifier in crawl separately.
