Not quite sure, but I saw that too.  I was thinking it is some sort of tracking device for video game production. One rider had his go on and off a few times during race.  

Saw a reddit post this morning that said it was something supercross was testing to show who/where the leader is. Makes sense as Nicollette's lights went out after he was passed and lost the lead.

Was there live and saw something during the race I have never seen before and not sure what it was. During each of the 250 races one of the bickes had lights under its radiator shrould. I think kn race one it was Nicollette had green lights, and then the next race it was a different rider and his where white. Trying to difure out what that was about. Anyone know?

Talk to @Punchdrunk Monkey he should be able to help you out, or at the minimum point you in the right direction.

Alright y’all!! For peacock… downloading now… only want it for supercross. Should I do premium or premium plus??

So I am just now finding out that you can't watch the races live unless you have Premium. F-u peacock and Supercross... You are making plenty of money that you can air this stuff live and not nickle and dime us to death. 

Guess I will wait until the races are over so I can watch the replays each eeekend. So frustrated. Just screwed my Saturday night.

Been watching him for a long time. His Zepher project is pretty cool too. Guy is really trying to pass on metal shaping skills.

Looks like we will have to find something else to watch this weekend.

Thanks!

does it work on a firestick? My smart TV is a sharp... and I don't think I can get the peaock app on the TV.

Yes it works on the Firestick. Been watching Peacock on my stick for the last year or so.

So is the only way to watch this season (other than A1) is to have peacock? Or pay for some other streaming?

Ya bro I am down to help work with you. I am pretty screwed as for driving that far. Next week is pretty busy and then I’m also on call so I can’t go far from home. Let’s put our heads together and come up with something!

Bro, if you find something but are on call and need help to make it work let me know, I got your back and will help. Need a new Wheeler i  that house, miss that guy.

I called and asked. They told me that if I go to the analog meter it will be a digital meter that will store the time of use info. 🤡🤡

I don’t really see that being the case but who knows? Anybody got a pic of an current “analog” meter?

This is why I was trying to find someone that had one installed so I could get the really skinny on it.

Any update on this? I am in the same boat as well and have become quite accustomed to not giving a flying eff about when and how much power I use due to my solar panels. It will suck to have to go back to worrying about thermostat settings. Which reminds me, it's November, I should go turn off my AC.

 

 

Haven't pulled the trigger yet. Still trying fully understand the impact of the change.

Can you get off time of use and go to domestic rate.  

Not with a smart meter installed.

That is why I am trying to figure out the ins-out of having a analog meter re-installed.

20yrs Grandfathering was until like 2015 I think. After that they changed it to 5yrs.

Will they let you go back to an analog meter?

There is an opt-out option I found on their website. $75 to seap the meter and $10.

Looking for someone that is very versed in (or can point me to info) regarding the advantages/disadvantages between Smart Meters and Analog electric meters. Specifically dealing with SDG&E. I am trying to figure out if I go back to having a Analog meter does that make it so they can't see what time of the day power is going onto the grid and when it is coming off the grid. After seeing a 750% increase in our bill last month (after they switch the time of use charge codes/times) I need to find a way to get this back under control.

Backstory. Put solar on our house 5 years ago and after our "grandfathered period" they switch the TOU times so the expensive time is now 4pm to 9pm (you know when there is no sun out). The past 5 yrs we broke even or got a credit at the end of the year, now we are looking at $150/mo bill again. Basically close to where we were BEFORE we put solar on the house. All I have to saw is F SDGandE

Both my boys used Liberty out of El Cajon. Youngest just got his license in August.

Cummins ISB engines will often get an external coolant leak from the head gasket right at the front on the passenger side. Maybe a defect in the gasket, castings or engineering but I've seen a lot of them leak and done a lot of them. Sometimes people will just put some stop leak in the cooling system and that usually works pretty good too.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I was always warned away from stop leak, with the theory that if it plugs the hole you want it to plug, what stops it from plugging other internal small passages?

So the only clarification was that they didn't "rescind" their offer, they just made it so if Ken wanted to run those 2 races he couldn't sign the contract.

According to Roczen on Bubba's podcast, he had already talked with Honda about racing those races an got the okay (or more accurately wasn't told it was going to be a problem) before committing to them and was surprised that Honda put them in this offer as races he couldn't ace in. Sounds like some he said, she said.

I second this. Load it up so it always can be found

And where do they think the money is going to come from to pay these newly ford council members salaries?

The new law will create a new 10-member Fast Food Council with equal numbers of workers’ delegates and employers’ representatives, along with two state officials, empowered to set minimum standards for wages, hours and working conditions in California.

Kind of assumed he got mor in the retirement mode. Bummer cause he was a very helpful honest guy. I will tey hom again on monday.

Just a few questions and rvs are not in my wheelhouse but.... Where is leaking, where do you see coolant dripping? This is a simple engine. Rare for a head gasket to put coolant in the oil on these.

I can see water coming out of the front of the motor. Can see it running out under the headgasket between the head and the block. Leak is at the front of the motor on the exhaust side of the motor (pass side in a truck, driverside in my motorhome).

I filled up the radiator with water and before I could even get back into the motorhome where I could see the motor that side of the motor was completly wet. I don't think this is a wepping/dripping issue. I think the headgasket has conpletly failied in that area.

You do bring up a good point though. I haven't checked the dipstick or oil cap for evidence of water in the oil. I will check that in the morning but don't think I havd any water in the oil.

Looks like the head gasket on our motorhome decided it wanted to start leaking coolant. Looking for a good reputable shop/person I can have take a look at it and give me a quote.  Anyone got any recommendations for someone that does good work and won't charge a arm and a leg for the job?
