How?

Edit- Apols, the pig bladder comp? I thought the whole shooting match went quite well?.Little to no blood spilt and the pubs were full.

Me n SWMBO were genuinely watching Titanic, there had to be room for at least 3 on that board?

And across the pond in Miami, Argentina beat Columbia 1-0 in the Cupa America final to SWMBO’s distaste. Her Brazil team was already knocked out in the quarter finals by Uruguay. :teapot:

The parking wardens were out in force in London this morning, I've never seen so many parking tickets. I think too may sore heads to get out of dodge before the parking permits came back into force at 8:30am. I managed to find a paid bay yesterday, so I had a little longer to recover and avoid the peak traffic. :xx:

But this winds me up, are you kidding me ?, I drive an EV. :evil:

Reminds me of, :lol:
We have a temporary100kmh speed limit on the main motorway through the Inn valley (Tirol) for air quality (it's been temporarily on for years). It doesn't apply to EVs or hydrogen powered vehicles. Given the number of foreign cars driving along that route there must be a lot of work for someone checking which are EVs or maybe everyone gets a ticket and then has to prove their car is exempt. It could get interesting when electric trucks want to do 130kmh.

Was thinking about when my next combined generating PB will be with Ripple KH now in full operation. :mrgreen:

I think my current combined PB record was on 23rd April 2022 with 116 kWh and I speculated whether 160 kWh may be possible with KH.
https://camelot-forum.co.uk/phpBB3/view ... ypb#p11494

I'd forgotten KH has actually been running for 2 months now so I looked back to see if there were any peaks and preferably along with GF and my own solar.

My speculated theoretical 160 kWh maximum was before I inherited a little bit more of GF from my father and before my own in house solar PV upgrades. I think I have found my new combined PB in the past on 27th June 2024. :shock:

(nowtyPB)
27th June 2024
Solar Grid Tie - 63 kWh
Solar DC Coupled - 10 kWh (this is an estimate but a very pessimistic one)
Ripple GF - 65 kWh
Ripple KH - 34 kWh
Total 172 kWh :twisted:

When Ripple DW goes operational a 200 kWh combined PB next year is not out of the question. :mrgreen:
