http://bentobox-w.blogspot.com/2014/09/insights-into-first-month-driving-ev.html
Thursday, September 11, 2014. Insights Into the First Month Driving an EV. The car is typically getting driven to work on weekdays, occasionally to dinner or to run errands in the evenings. This generally runs the battery down to about 50% over 2-3 days. We plug the car in about 3x / week at about a 50% charge. It usually gets plugged in between 7 and 9 PM, and is usually fully-charged by 8 AM the next morning (still using a regular 110v, 15A charger, aka trickle charger). The car is equipped with seat h...

Bento Box W: rabble rabble, political something-or-other
http://bentobox-w.blogspot.com/2012/04/polit.html
Wednesday, April 18, 2012. Rabble rabble, political something-or-other. The problem is those damn socialist tree-hugging, Starbucks-drinking, iPhone-loving, atheist, pro-abortion, big government, tax-and-spend liberal democrats. No, wait, the problem is those gun-toting, God-fearing, big business, anti-choice, fascist conservative republicans. No, wait. The real. Problem is neither of these. or both of these. The real. Problem is our subscription to these beliefs. The real. Why should we bother? I think ...

Bento Box W: August 2014
http://bentobox-w.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 16, 2014. We Got A Leaf! A couple of weeks ago, we signed a lease on a 2015 Nissan Leaf 100% electric vehicle. Here are the most common questions, based upon our experience so far. Is it a hybrid? No There is no gas engine. It runs on electricity alone, and we have to plug it in to recharge it. How far does it go on a full charge? How long does it take to charge? Can you only charge at home? Does the battery have a "memory effect"? Does it deplete over time? Yes, sort of. Just like i...

Bento Box W: September 2012
http://bentobox-w.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 14, 2012. Easy steps to put Americans back in control of our country. Election season seems to make people angry. Maybe we could all just learn to get along if the following simple changes could be made to our political system:. If we are going to have to pay taxes, let us decide where our tax money goes. Remove Article 1, Section 6 from The Constitution. Modify Article 2, Section 1 of The Constitution to get rid of the 2-party system. I think we all know how damaging this is. Audit the...

Bento Box W: We should sell the government to Google
http://bentobox-w.blogspot.com/2012/08/we-should-sell-government-to-google.html
Wednesday, August 8, 2012. We should sell the government to Google. How well is your government working for you? Are they doing a good job? Spending your tax dollars wisely? Looking out for the good of the people? Making you happy by effectively solving problems instead of campaigning and fighting? Of course not. And do you know what? You're a Democrat. You're a Republican. and you agree with me. Google knows everything -. What's the largest known prime number? Is it going to be hot in Spokane tomorrow?

Bento Box W: December 2012
http://bentobox-w.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 18, 2012. Sunny Days 101 - Our new experience with solar energy. We started by obtaining information from two solar electric installers who have presence in our area: Solar City and REC Solar. We tried to obtain quotes from Namaste Solar in Boulder, but they were too busy to get back to us before we made a decision. Both vendors offered options to purchase, or to lease the system, and each provided flexible lease options. Here's how it works:. The solar company can sell. Again, probably...

Saturday, February 2, 2013. Sunny Days 120 - First full-month energy bill. What you get and what you don't - How a photovoltaic solar array interfaces with your energy company. What do you get when you sign up for a solar leasing program? Some pretty neat stuff:. When your system's outproducing your consumption, the meter spins backward, selling electricity back to the utility company. System monitoring and warranty repair. If you lease a system, the vendor monitors its production for you and fixes it if...
