First time using Pro Power for the whole house

Happy 4th of July! 92 mph winds hit us in NE OK yesterday evening. We got a great lighting show to go along with the fireworks.

This is the first time I've used the GenerLink with my truck, but I've used it with my gas generator a few times prior. I installed it a few years ago, my electric panel is completely full with no room for a typical interlock. Still no power after 14 hours and no ETA on restoration. There are tons of trees down on lines so it's probably going to be awhile.

My house is full electric and I was able to keep everything except AC going all night on 8% of the battery. Unfortunately the Lightning doesn't have enough juice to start up my geothermal system, my 7.2 kW gas generator surges to 9.6 kW and was able to get it going, but seems that Pro Power has a hard cutoff at 7.2 kW. I'll have to look into installing a soft start.

$10 credit for Google Fit issue

Just got this email from Fi, they're giving out a $10 credit for unusually high data used by the Google Fit app.

This happened to me earlier this month, right at the start of my data cycle. My phone blew through 34 GB of data over three days according to Fi, but the per-app usage details were nowhere near that. I never got any notifications about it; I didn't know about the data usage until I opened the Fi app to figure out why my data was so slow and saw a warning that I had used the 30 GB included in my Unlimited Essentials plan and I was now at 2g speeds.

While the $10 is nice, I've already spent over $20 to get back to full-speed data ($10 per GB) and have judiciously been watching my data usage all month. I feel that I should get a refund for all of the extra data costs for the month.

Tall rider fit

Hi everyone,

My kids are getting bigger and are too fast on their bikes for me to keep up, so I need one of my own, but I don't want to spend a whole lot. We live in the country with plenty of gravel roads to ride on. I found the rave reviews for this one and it looks great, I'm interested in the large flat bar, however I'm 6'4" tall, 34" inseam, and the large frame only lists up to 6'2". My local Walmart has a small and medium on the rack, I tried the medium and it's definitely too small for me. They do list the large as available for pickup, but it's not on the rack for me to try.

Is there anyone out there my height riding one of these? How well do you fit? Any modifications needed to get it working well for you?
