The real reason I'm excited to write is that we're moving again soon. Rather than sell the previous houses, we're starting to build up a little collection of rentals. Given the home price surge in...

It has been a long time since I've posted. The family has grown by one and we moved once, downsizing from 1950 sf to 1450 sf. Being smaller and two story, I figured utility bills would drop. But,...

Hopefully you are wrong about the TX summer getting hotter... Again... But you probably won't be.
We've downsized to a 1400sf house. I will have to look at installing another solar system on this...

K&N reusable air filters
I took the plunge and bought two, infinitely reusable K&N home air filters. The cost was something like $130 but we'll worth it, IMo. They should pay for themselves in about 3 years. They're very...

It's just a matter of time until the "Big 3" become the "Legacy 3" or something like that, imo.
I'm guessing the guts of that Ford e-truck are actually Rivian, seeing as how Ford bought a $500M...

Found a new little trick to keep us cool at night. Our bedroom ceiling fan is in the center of the room. It blew on our feet. We now sleep upside-down so our upper bodies are under the air stream.

@elhigh thanks. I don't track the numbers too closely but our electric this month was $33. Last year it was $72. Some of the differences are a 3.66kW solar system, more computers running at home, and...

The K&N house filters look like they would certainly provide better filtering than some of the cheaper, disposable filters. Some of those have visible gaps.

I'm with you. The Elon twitter drama is having more of an effect on the stock price than the forward progress they are making.
