Was busy this weekend, and finally had the thought,”Huh… the CPK sub must be having a slow weekend…”

Nope. Just wasn’t getting any email notifications ☹️

I’ll see if some changes, fixed that.

Wasn't using Gmail, and I always check my Spam and Trash folders daily.

Switched to a different email, and getting notifications again (had similar issues the last time they changed servers or whatever).

It isn’t anything too fancy but I like it. It’s a Case/Bose Premium Stockman. I got this one from Jason Ritchie. If memory serves, he darkened the bone and gave it his stamp of approval. I’m not sure if he plans on making something similar at some point but if he does, it will be awesome.
 
BTW, I don’t know if anyone here has been thinking of getting into solar, but I just got notification of a pretty darned good deal for solar panels.

SanTan solar has 20% off solar panels with code: 20_off

*** I know linking to websites is frowned upon. Let me know if mentioning coupon codes and sales on other sites is similarly frowned upon.

They carry the Aionrise 360w panels for $89.99, which drops to $72 with the code. They require a minimum order of 10 panels, to ship (although you can order fewer for local pickup), but that’s $0.20/watt, which is a better deal than I’ve heard of anywhere, in the past 5 years.

With the upcoming tariffs on goods from China, including solar components (if I read that correctly, a few months back), prices might even go up (Aionrise panels are “Assembled in the US”, but IIRC, the parts of almost all solar panels are made in China).

I was going to wait until solar got down to a dollar per watt. $.20 per watt is a no-brainer. The ROI can't be much more than a year.
