Btw I noticed the g10 kinda hurts my teeth when I bite it hard, but the micarta feels and tastes rather nice. Also micarta is noticeably lighter in mouth over prolonged sessions and

Ok I’m done. Hard to stop.

It's all good folks. Because of my little trip, it was Saturday before I got around to looking at the thread. By then it had all shook out and wasn't too bad.. I appreciate the enthusiasm. Have a great week!

lol The machines I work with here at work, all recycle the cutting fluids from a catch pan at the bottom.

 

[Jo the Machinist]

We have a well, so water isn't an issue. I'm pretty sure our electric bill is as much as everyone else on the street combined though.

Sheepish and silly question I'm sure, but does it pay in the long run to instal solar panels in States like NC?

I think the return on investment is something like 15 years

Not too bad at your age if you're planning on staying there for quite a while, but it would've been much better to have acted earlier on because of all those incentivized programs when solar energy Cos had more leverage. I also missed out and kinda kicking myself

^^^That....and the recent 30% tariff imposed on solar imports is definitely going to hurt the industry and increase costs/prices across the board. I was considering installing a few panels on our place, but will have to rethink it over the next few years. We just bought it last year, so a 30 year commitment gives me time to think and watch the industry.

I used to be stationed in AZ and to really benefit from the solar you have to invest in the battery system to store the excess power.

I have talked to a few people who had solar systems installed here. Other than having those ugly panels on their roofs, there doesn't seem to be much of a return on their investment. I would guess that a lot depends on the quality of the panels and the rest of the system.

They are starting to get really high tech and make panels that are actually build into the roofing.
