  • 2 years ago I installed 30 500watt panels on my roof. It’s been amazing!

    I’m in Canada, so I can’t be off grid at all, but during the summer I generate way more than I use and in the winter I take essentially what I over produced in the summer, so I’m net zero usage from the grid in a year.

    All my heat is electric and I drive an electric car.

    My break even is 18 years, so it’s definitely not for everyone, but I can see a future where electricity is almost free and we burn zero fossil fuels. I doubt I’ll be alive for this, but if we all don’t do this, no one else will be alive either



  • I’ve been married for 34 years. We’ve never fought, as in, we’ve never yelled at each other. There’s been very few times we’ve disagreed on something, but on those times, we’ve had a discussion from each of our point of views and we’ve come to final understanding of the issue. That could mean one sided view prevailed over the others, or we met somewhere in the middle.

    The ability to discuss things without taking them as an attack is the key to happiness. If your spouse doesn’t think you need to wash dishes right after making them dirty, but you think the opposite, you both need to internally decide if you can live with the others belief. If you are fine with the dirty dishes, then go about your day. It’s just not worth it to make that a problem.

    My wife is my absolute best friend and I’d never wreck that friendship. (plus we get to boink soon that’s a plus too)
