National reciprocity?? where are we
Latest Action: Senate - 12/07/2017 Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. So, it's been sitting since December with ZERO action... So, does anyone think the Senate will vote on it after this November, assuming the Repubs still have the majority in the Senate, and don't lose it?

Seems I have a thief scoping my house
Well, I don't know if "ANY" are.. My parents had a few of these when I was growing up. Not sure if they were a deterrent to anything, unless laughing to death when you saw them counts (although they were noisy as hell and barked a lot): Maybe the squirrels were the only thing afraid of them.

Yeah, but pitbulls eat little children too, just for the fun of it.

Mag Ban Injunction Hearing 7/12/18
Perfect example. Has Trump signed that into law yet? Oh, wait, the Repub controlled Senate has refused to take a vote on it....

Seems I have a thief scoping my house
Very true. Just not knowing if the dog will attack is usually a good deterrent. I've been working with my Lab pup (who's coming up on 70 lbs.) to key up and alert to an unknown person who comes by. I had a home improvement door knocker come by last week, and poochie was going nuts behind the storm door. The guy backed way up, and asked if the dog was actually friendly? (Most people assume a Lab might be) I told him, "the last guy who knocked on my door left without one of his arms". The guy didn't hang around long after that comment...

That's the most IMPORTANT part. I have a specific camera in my garage recording off of one of my systems just for this reason. Video evidence. Remember, if it's not recorded on video, it didn't happen...

Good point, or sit on his porch, cleaning all his Milsurp toys.

Wait.... didn't you say this situation has been going on for a few days? She didn't realize the remote was missing? How did she get back into the garage when she brought the car home?

Forget it.. I'm not sitting out in the woods by his house.

Ha.. Looks like she gets to walk into the house from the outside and have to use a manual key now... oops...

Some have rocker switches where you can manually change the code, depending on model. Or, temporarily disable the remote feature if possible and hardwire a keypad at the outside of the door.

Yes, conductor size is the first concern, but backfeeding the complete panel is also really stupid. Most people don't understand loads, and will try to turn on everything in the panel, like normal.

If you have a garage door opener, it sounds like they are opening it with a remote. Change the code.... STAT...

Some interesting fun facts, the weather dudes have been comparing the intensity of this storm to one 50+ years ago (Hazel in 1954). Back in 1954 there were approx. 4 million residents in N.C. Now, there are over 10 million. Can you guess what areas had the largest growth? Then, I just saw this point of reference regarding the actual build-up along the coastal areas over the years. 1940: 792,871 homes 2018: 11,301,776 homes The potential for major destruction is quite high, both from wind and from heavy rain/flooding:

Why do you keep your dog outside? Unclear, are you running it through a transfer switch, or is this just feeding the double breaker in the panel? If it's the latter, that's just as dangerous as the Capt...

New S.P. Form for "Assault Firearms" Registration
Also, according to the new law, there was suppose to be a $50 fee to register each one. I don't see that mentioned on the form. Stay far away from this form, we still haven't heard the outcome of the mag injunction, which could make this form moot.

Wow, talk about dangerous... That's a little safer??? Really?? Trying to kill your parents? What, having like 3- 4 days of warning and notice wasn't long enough to prepare? Right up to the point that the house burns down.

disposing of old gasoline
If it's a year old and been tightly sealed, you'll have no issues with mixing it.

Emergency Bug Out
The 24vAC is coming off of the furnace controls, so that's why the 115v for the furnace should come from one leg of the 230v feeding the condenser. The thermostat gets it's power from the furnace and the 24V AC signal triggers the relay at the condenser and starts the fan in the furnace. Regarding the ground for the generator, I run a separate steel rod and cable from the frame of my generator into the actual ground, as a secondary precaution, when running it.

disposing of old gasoline
This is what I was going to say. If it's only 5 gallons, dump a couple gallons in on one fill-up, then dump the rest on the next fill-up. Mixing it with new gas should cause zero issues.

New S.P. Form for "Assault Firearms" Registration
That's the $100,000 question. Many think it's not. The result of the mag injunction should be really telling. If they get an approval of the injunction by the judge, it makes this form invalid, as the 15 round mags will still be legal until the case makes it through the legal system.

Emergency Bug Out
I believe from what I've read, the "sweet spot" is approx 50% of the running rated watts, not the surge watts. So, as an example, a 5 kW gen runs the longest/smoothest with a 2500 watt load. You'd have to tie both the condenser 230 v and the furnace 115v off of the same source so they share the same neutral and ground.

Exactly the way I feel. Run time without refilling is an important point. I remember people during Sandy who ran out of gas after two days. Problem was, the gas stations in the area didn't get their power back on for a week... Oops...
