Hate those people!

 

fuckers

 

Speaking of elk. Almost ran into this guy while riding on green mountain last week. He was strutting his stuff to impress the group of lady elk nearby.

 

I've been seeing a 8 point(west) at work at night the last few weeks. Big guy, doesn't care at all, will stand in the middle of the street and stare at your vehicle

 

I'm kinda curious if anyone would be willing to share their natural gas usage and monthly cost? From April through July, my gas bill was consistently around $19. Last month's bill it jumped to $91 and this month it's over $100. My usage was 2500 CF in April-May and now my meter readings jumped to 11500 CF in June-July. The only things in my 1 bedroom apartment that use gas are the water heater and the heater, which I obviously was not running in June and July when it was 90 degrees. Does anyone else think this seems a little out of whack?

 

We're in Boulder and have been checking it out - everything is awesome. Work starts on Monday!

 

Just reminds me of an article I was reading the other day on drones. How the price on some is inflated up to like 500% for "Brand name stuff" when it only cost like $150 to make the drone.

I've been wanting a drone for a while but $1000+ for one of the brand name one seems ridiculous and people still have issues with them, like you are currently having.

 

It's crazy how fast the drone market has grown. DJI used to be better quality and affordable, now it seems they are riding on their name recognition. Plus with the number of clones it's hard to tell what's good and bad anymore .

 

Yep. I'll have to see if I can find that article, it was a good read.

Also mentioned how some people are 3D Printing their own drone bodies now and buying the rest of the components to DIY a very capable drone

 

Yeah somethings not right
I average 30 a month.
Of coarse it’ll get a little higher during the colder months
I budget bill and pay 85$ a month year round for gas and electric.

 

Looks like Demello has some of their new bumpers in stock if anyone is looking for one and doesn't want to wait for build time

 

I know a place where you can get them for 20% off.

 

I was going to bring up if you could just reflash the software yourself but my question has been answered lol

 

You make it seem as if you want me to ask you where?

 

I'm assuming you've checked the bill to see the cost breakdown and that the increase is coming from usage? Seems unlikely you'd have a gas leak that would go that long and unnoticed. No gas fireplace? No hot water leak? Also seems way too steep for a rate increase, and if you were doing the 'average billing' thing then that's not the cost pattern I'd expect either. Billed directly from Xcel or is it through the apartment/3rd party billing? I'd call and ask what's going on (hell, I'd have called at that first big jump).

Most of where I've lived the last ten years haven't had gas service, but I did spend a year in a three/four bedroom house built in the 90s that did, with two other people. Gas heat, stove, and water heater. Starting in August 2017 we were $21, 27, 39, 55, 75, 64, 78, 46, 39, 25, 22.

 

Literally never would have guessed that lol, Your brother not tech savvy either?

 

Sheesh. Well if you need tech support hit him up lol. I've started building PC's when I was 7, and still am, so I am pretty tech savvy.

I was starting to dabble into CAD and BendTech Pro and learn that last week after a few "pokes" from @YamaDirtrider and @Red Baron to learn it. Still watching videos and stuff

 

I remember CAD when it was still on a piece of paper, pencil and ruler, still have my drafting ruler

 

The ONLY reason I am understanding CAD is because it is on the computer lol. I'm way to dumb to figure that stuff out on paper, amongst other things
