Oh my. It was 40 years ago a local outfit was selling solar hot water rooftop setups. I had one installed on my house in Coral Springs, Floriduh. It was freakin' marvelous. Lived there for 15 years and it never needed maintenance.Morning
Pool/greenhouse 80% done. The plastic on the outside is all pinned down. Plumbing for the solar water heater is mostly done. Just need to plumb in the 12v solar pump and wire it up to the solar charging system. Built and tested the solar pump and charging system last night. It works.
When the sun is out. The temps get up to 130f in there. Have a solar roof vent to keep it from going nuclear. Building a thermostatically operated off and on switch 12v system for it. Never built one before. Should be an interesting learning build. Just hope I have enough junk around here to build it. Trying to keep this build under a $1000.oo bucks. Getting really close to that mark....
Can see the sun peaking just below the horizon. Time to get the paperwork done and get at it....... AGAIN lol

What I remember was being on the roof washing off a broom. I opened the spigot on the side of the solar thingy and got live steam before boiling water. Was impressed. Zero electric bill for water heating all that time.
They disappeared off the market/radar. There are solar water systems, but they are markedly different -- divided between dirt cheap and Cadillac. The dirt cheap wouldn't last five years; the upscale would store the hot water on the roof.
What I had was a straightaway connection from roof (heater) to storage tank (original heater). I'd get one again if they were still made. Or not.
Thanks for chiming in DARKSIDER. You sound like you have spent time on the water. Fly Rod? I don't do anything like I used to. No big Rivers, no back packing trips.....no sleeping on the ground in a tent. Just give me a 3wt rod and beaver ponds with a dry fly and I am happy on a nice summer day.Better to be safe than sorry..
Stick around my friend....I like having you here.
Holy. Shit.
I had to re-trace those pictures several times. And I am a high as the Statue of Liberty's Nipples.
And I'd better document it before I forget (SOMS) Springtime Of My Senility --
I have discovered how to attain the absolute minimum to wasting any goodness. On the advice of sumbody here, I sent away for a SOLO II vape thingy.
Following their destructions, I ground up some of @Boo's Finest** and used the glass pipe like a plunger to fill the "bowl". Set the temp to 198C. Took a hit, exhaled into the Volcano bag. Repeat, casually. When the SOLO shuts off, just lay it down for the time it takes you to hit the Volcano bag until it is fairly clear.
Then turn the SOLO on and set it to 202. Take a coupla hits, exhaling in V-bag. Stop when the SOLO turns itself off the second time. Use up the bag.
Late Edit Add I Fergot: The "bowl" holds a pea-sized fluffy bit of ground weed.
Get on the Net and tell everybody how to get the most out of your stash.
**In the middle of all his troubles, he just took time out to help his old bud. A great guy.

If you’re lucky.
They must sell special Walker/chair/walking stick things for older fishermen/women.
Boeing haven’t completed enough of the test requirements to get paid the $4 billion ”start money”
Whether they continue to burn money to prove their abilities is another matter
What do you do with it? Eat? Smoke?Now I'm at a Thai coffee shop called Green Harbour - perusing the inebriates - that Snow Butter looks good - 'erb rolled in glandular trichomes - by the looks of it-

Personally I think they and NASA should cut their loses and move on. Maybe if Boeing stopped building rockets they could get back to build decent jet airliners? I also would like to see them out of the picture because between the delays caused by Boeing and the FAA we've seriously fallen behind on our space objectives to the point where China might beat us.
I've caught bigger fish offshore, but my all-time favorite fishing experience was a 26" Steelhead on a flyrod in a back eddy of the Deschutes River. It took 45 minutes to net her, and we were both worn out.
Boeing were a great company until Lockheed Martin bought Boeing with its own money
I thought Spirit bought Boeing
WICHITA, Kan., July 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Spirit AeroSystems [NYSE: SPR] ("Spirit") today announced it has entered into a definitive merger agreement under which The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] ("Boeing") will acquire Spirit for $37.25 per share in Boeing common stock (subject to the collar described below). At $37.25 per share, this represents an equity value of approximately $4.7 billion and an enterprise value of approximately $8.3 billion including Spirit's last reported net debt. The price of $37.25 per share represents a 30% premium to Spirit's closing stock price of $28.60 on February 29, 2024, the day before Spirit and Boeing issued press releases confirming they were in discussions regarding a potential transaction
