Random, stupid things on your mind

[KSM]

A friend who lives in the back country of San Diego County was expressing to me his frustration with getting solar on his roof. Is area is subjected to blackouts if the winds are high, fires start, etc...

I suggested he do some homework... I looked at getting a solar powered pool pump a few years back and they told me they didn't have to have a permit if they put the panels on a freestanding support and didn't tie in to the home's electrical system.

In his particular community, there is no limitation to putting galvanized steel posts in concrete or owning a solar panel...

Without communicating his name, telephone number, address, etc, to the licensing department, he was able to figure out that he could have a solar system over his garden and run the electricity to, say, his pool pump even though he doesn't have a pool...

The extra benefit of having a shaded garden area allows him to grow some plants that would normally burn in the sun.

A high efficiency extension cord can make a power outage go away...

Pro Tip... There is also a way around the automatic switching in case of a power outage. Solar systems are looking for incoming voltage. Fooling that automatic switching system can allow solar generated voltage to pass through the internal circuits... It can be dangerous to line workers...

That's very interesting. Now I need a "pool"
I like your friend.

If you have the land, why not a covered RV port? Of course, that might need a building permit...

A year and half ago I had 2.2 acres on a river. Now I have a city lot so I'm SOL for what you're suggesting.
This will do what I need it to do and I can always add to it.

I'm about to have dinner and this honestly killed my appetite just by thinking about it.

A nasty case of gout?

@sean92008  Is it the movie that you thought of called The Swarm?  Anyway, @KSM is correct.  Random thoughts and moments...not necessary meaningless, but there are many...pop in my head.  And I do have some weird shit going on upstairs.  We're in good company.  Now, I will skip down the driveway and sing!

I looked at highlight videos and I don think it was that movie. The climax was the Astrodome scene. Think TV movie, from the director of Shazam!

Wasn't it called Killer Bee's? @sean92008

Just search  Killer bee's in astrodome and the year the movie came out. Why is this such an issue?  I'll take you to the astrodome to face your fears!

I found something that might be it... "Savage Bees." Maybe, maybe not... Haven't reviewed it but it's based on semi-nearby (to the Astrodome) New Orleans...
