Being stranded and walking home...scooter in the trunk?
My only phone is a cell phone.I don't have a smarter than I am phone though.I had to get a cell when I hauled some mail in the 90's.It was part of the list of requirements.CDL,medical card,acceptable driving record,and a cell phone.The phone had to be approved too,some of the carriers back then...- Keith True

Florida Solar panels questions
I have a friend that did installations,he wasn't a solar sales company.On certain jobs he would call and I'd go help.6?? 12?? times a year.Just as I used to go out to do boiler jobs with him.He had a lot of problems with solar companies,not the companies themselves,some used independent...- Keith True

Florida Solar panels questions
After working on solar installations for close to 20 years,some of the arguements really puzzle me.I can't ever recall working on any subsidized jobs,but there had to have been a few.My friend that I worked for told me to never debate with the haters,they will never let facts get in the way of...- Keith True

Is it plumb or is it level
When my dad quit doing his own masonry work building houses he hired a very good mason to do that work.That guy used a thumb bob,built chimbleys,and poured concreke.And,he drank beerz.A single bottle had a z on the end of it.He'd say to his boy,Robbie,get me a beerz.He talked just fine,he just...- Keith True

Florida Solar panels questions
Not the main meter,but that little 2 inch one that monitors what is being produced by the panels.Usually in the cellar by the inverter.It has nothing to do with the main house meter,the two-way one used by the solar setup.- Keith True

Florida Solar panels questions
I do NOT like solar arrays over asphalt shingles.But,I am a little biased because I don't like asphalt shingles.I have R&R'd a lot of solar setups for roofers.The guy I worked for would map out all the mounting points,and record that for replacement.Unplug everything,and remove the panels and...- Keith True

Florida Solar panels questions
Solar is a big plus when selling homes around here.In an ongoing development a mile from me 41 out of the 46 houses there have rooftop solar.10 years ago the guys that worked on solar figured if your light bill was under $100.it was not the thing to do.The solar salesmen didn't think that way...- Keith True

Florida Solar panels questions
As I said,DO YOUR HOMEWORK.Watch the salesmen.Some are like the old siding salesmen of the 60's.Pay no attention to the,I heard,or I read about,stories.Most are misconceptions,some things are twisted,and a lot are outright absurd.I did a lot of climbing for an installer,he was not a solar...- Keith True

Florida Solar panels questions
Every state is different,and every power provider is different.I've worked on dozens of them here in N.H. and I doubt any of our procedures here would apply to you.I worked for the installer,NOT the solar companies that sold the systems.Do your homework locally,and watch the salesmen.Bottom line...- Keith True

Seldom used tools nowadays
I still have and use most of those tools.I never did get any metric ignition wrenches though.Tach and dwell meters,and the flex driver to adjust the dwell with.Lots of timing lights,seems like I just can't watch them being thrown away.Have a box with nothing but ignition fixing stuff.Still have...- Keith True

Bought a Weed Wacker
My wife took care of an old lady that liked to work in her yard.When she was 95 I got her a battery powered weed wacker.It was a cheapo B&D,and was supposed to last about 20 minutes.That was fine with her,she said she would be all done in herself by then.After the first day she called and said...- Keith True

Clocks or no clocks?
An elderly collector here had over 300 clocks and watches,and over 300 old radios in his house.While the man was in the hospital we had a driving rainstorm one night,and dad thought we should go see if we could find the roof leak nobody could seem to find.Big house out in the woods,power out,and...- Keith True

NEED HELP, NEW PROJECT (NOT A TRACTOR) - 110 year old Barn Find Studebaker
You really hit the jackpot with that vacuum fuel pump still intact hanging on the side of the manifold.Also,old flathead engines with updraft carbs and small air intakes are surprisingly not as prone to set-seizing.Humidity doesn't like to rise up and travel around carbs and manifolds like it...- Keith True

NEED HELP, NEW PROJECT (NOT A TRACTOR) - 110 year old Barn Find Studebaker
You have a lot of car there,it's not a basket case.Everything is there to go by,the most important parts like the windshield stanchions and top bows are number one.Even if you have to remake the bows,you only have to copy,not engineer from scratch.That one is a car where you have to pick the...- Keith True
