I used my new inhaler this evening. I feel freaking awesome. I feel like I'm breathing in HD. I love my new doctor. Hand to God I'm gonna hug her next appointment. I'm finally feeling normal for the first time in years. No anxiety, no panic, just wonderful AIR. It was definitely a learning curve though. Not like the inhalers we had growing up. All plastic and you hit a button and then suck. It lets you know if you're doing it right. She had to give me a slightly expired one because she didn't have any more samples and it's hard to get the insurance approval right now. This isn't my prescription since it's just a sample but it's helping for now. Shes going to give me one I do twice daily and an emergency one. I've only got a two week douse until then.

Glad you found a good Dr and an inhaler that works

I don't like to brag about my expensive trips but I just came back from the gas station.
All jokes aside, my bet, going to go up much more very soon...

I've always had doctors just writing it off as anxiety but it was legit my body was saying "WE DONT HAVE ENOUGH AIR. PUMP FASTER" I was reluctant but damn I feel good. I feel like I could walk a mile and not feel winded

Teach me things

I can hardly meet a stranger. That's how easy it is for me to talk to someone. I would not have an issue with anybody asking me anything they wanted to, but that's me and not everyone is like me. I'm not offended easily, ask whatever you want.

There is no way they can justify those prices.

That's GREAT!!!! Something so simple and you've been suffering for no reason other than the doctors had no idea what was going on.

Enjoy your new life

Bruce lives in Vermont, a bit dark in the winter

Only at night

which is 4:45 PM to 7:20 AM mid December

8:40 PM to 5 AM mid June though.

And no solar production when the panels are covered with snow but since mine are ground mounts I can clean them off once it stops snowing.

Nov and Dec are the lowest producing months here, November tends to be the most gray month of the year.

Total production last year: 14 Megawatts. More than plenty to run the house and the cars with net metering.

Depends on what EV you drive and how far you drive it.

DW has a 70 mile round trip commute. The Leaf uses about 20 kWh for that trip in the summer, 25-30 in the coldest part of winter.

Lots of people drive a much shorter distance and don't live where it goes significantly below 0°F in the winter. At the off peak rate we pay for the EV charger the 30 kWh cost is about $3.93 or $0.056 per mile. In the summer it is $2.64 or $0.037/mile.

Calculate the cost per mile of whatever you are driving even when gas was $3. At $3/gallon with a 25 MPG vehicle the cost is $0.12/mile. At $4/gallon it is $0.16/mile. At $5/gallon it is $0.20/mile.

You buy no electricity from the power company? Pretty good for living in Vermont. I have to haul around dogs and grandkids. I tried driving a fit but didn’t feel safe in it.
