Hello, I am about to order my first home EVSE, will be professionally installed. We will be installing a subpanel to share a 50A circuit between the EVSE and the hot tub, so I need a load management solution.

My first choice was the Wallbox because it has an available dynamic load management system, but the hardwired versions are sold out with no ETA.

So, the next option is the Chargepoint. (These are the only options available with rebates from my utility.) It doesn't seem that Chargepoint offers a load management solution. Is there a safe, code-compliant third party option?

The pictures online are not very good. I'm trying to see a real life picture and wondering whether the material is mesh or solid or what.

Just bought a CPO Pure. Only option from the higher trims I wished I had was Pilot Assist. Learned that the hardware is already in place, bought it for $595 in the app, boom. Works great. Very cool that they make these options available to the lower trims.

Looking for a hack squat machine. Not terribly interested in the leg press functionality. I've narrowed it down to 2 relatively compact options: the new ForceUSA compact leg sled ($999) or the various DD09 machines (GMWD, Syedee, etc., $559). They both take up about the same amount of space (ForceUSA is more square footprint with the weight horns, DD09 is more rectangular which is probably slightly better for my space). They both seem to allow full range of motion for taller folks. DD09 is 70% felt weight while ForceUSA is 50% felt weight (so more of a plate eater). I'm sure the ForceUSA is better built, but is it worth nearly 2x the price?

I am looking for recommendations for someone to come and periodically maintain a large garden (mostly roses, but also fruit trees and various other landscape plantings) in south Issaquah. Most "landscapers" are just mow and blow types and I really want to be sure this is handled properly. Thanks in advance.

Here's my problem: I work with large PDFs, and I would like to be able to "tag" paragraphs or pages with custom labels that I can sort and filter. If anyone has ever worked with Airtable, that would be a good example - you create a set of color coded tags and apply one or more to each entry. Acrobat tools like annotate, comment, bookmark, or highlight don't seem to accommodate this. "Tag" and "label" have specific meanings in the context of PDFs so Google searching is not yielding anything helpful.

Bought the car with bad A/C, owner insisted it was a bad compressor. It was not. Independent shop that specializes in Toyota has diagnosed it as a bad HVAC air box. Repair estimate $2500, mostly labor to remove the dash. Apparently the part is NLA too, so they need to source a used one.

It's not something I can or want to do myself so I guess I need to bite the bullet, can't daily drive a car without A/C these days.

From what I can see searching online this doesn't seem like an unreasonable price. Agree or no? Anything else I should address while the dash is out?

Level 2 charger at home, using NACS to CCS adapter, charging outdoors, noticed this corrosion today when I took the adapter off. Cause for concern? How should I clean it off?

Taking a long awaited trip to the North Cascade today and we were planning a significant detour to visit Artist Point, however the weather is not looking great the next few days. Is it worth a visit even if overcast? Any views?

I am selling a package containing the following:

• factory-refurbished Voltra, still sealed in box (msrp $2200)
• factory cable replacement kit (NIB, for future use) (msrp $40)
• voltramounts.com cross 2:1 doubler mount, 3x3 - 5/8 (msrp $115)
• Darko Quickmount 3x3 (msrp $185)
• BP fixed bar mount (msrp $110)
• Titan Fitness X-3 extensions and pull up bar (not available individually, sold as part of $320 wall mount rack) - will fit any 3x3-5/8 rack

Asking $1995 + actual shipping for everything. You're saving at least $700 from new prices. Paypal F&F or Venmo. If you want to use Paypal G&S or want me to create a private Ebay listing, I'm willing to do so, but you would need to cover the added fees.

Why do I have a sealed refurb Voltra? I buggered my cable replacement and Voltra sent me a replacement unit. Due to life circumstances, I'd rather have the cash right now.

Also: I've previously sold a Voltra here. I originally bought 2 Voltras, then later downsized to one. I can try to put any potential buyer in touch with the buyer from the last transaction if they need comfort.

I will be visiting Alaska for the first time in a few weeks, fulfilling my son's wish to see brown bears in the wild. We will be at Brooks Falls. Some things I've read suggest the skeeters will be so bad I should buy a head net. What am I up against?

Rep or Titan for example?

Misaligned arrangement exhaust tips are contacting and melting my bumper. What's my best option to safely prevent this without melting to my tips until I can get to the muffler shop? Piece of welding blanket? Ceramic fiber insulation? Header wrap?
