For late season nectar here at 6,000ft we have loads native prairie rabbit brush (chrysothamnus nauseosus; Aster family). Grows like crazy. I was cutting it, but will now let it go for the bees. They pile on it and load up to max flight weight on the orange reward. Looking forward to...

Incredible. That's awesome. 950 lbs!! About five gallons per hive a normal year ? Just got started with four relocated local swarms this Spring, and they are doing great. Feeding and building to get ready for Winter, where March around Colorado is the killer month I hear... If all...

Excited my experienced friend brought the split and re-queened swarm over yesterday, waiting to place into permanent hives when it warms up a bit. (Got half a foot of wet snow last night). I was going to let him do all the beekeeping, but the more I learn, I think I will be getting a suit and...

Education and support is indeed a real need. Here in several Colorado Counties, new relaxed zoning regs allow for up to two hives in every suburban backyard(!) (also up to five chickens!). Used to be allowed only on Ag lots. Most people are smart enough to find expertise and resources, but...

Maybe the local diner, watering hole or welding shop in Dalhart or Clayton could secure a HPWC or even install a 50amp plug.... A couple hours would enable Amarillo to Trinidad ..

Two new traditional hives ready to paint and place next month. If the FlowHive really works, I want one of those!

That's great news for south-bounders out of Denver. Probably not much hope of getting anything in the 240 miles from Trinidad/Raton, NM to the planned Amarillo,TX Supercharger via Dalhart and Clayton on US87. That's a favorite cut-off route for many Texans heading to Colorado, but pretty...

On-Off is the best feature of automation systems. Glad they included it here. I find most around me head to off after the initial period.

Also, Elon just tweeted that a future software update will improve P85D 0-60 time by ~0.1 secs and P85s will also receive a speed boost, but not as dramatic. I like that my nearly 2 year old car will be getting faster by a software update! That's freakin awesome!! Would love to know what...

Great idea. Even an option to "confirm". I like being the Decider :cool:

Explored 6.1.113 on-board for four days.... this new information and the added conveniences are great enhancements. Pilots still fly the planes.

Got 6.1 installed last night. It will be interesting to see if it ever deems my schedule "regular" enough. It would be helpful in my opinion to have a prompt through the app "do you wish to condition?". I tend to like the manual choices....

Not knowing details about the mysterious algorithms which create so much pain and pleasure.... personally, I finally pretty much dismiss it. A mile is not a mile and of course completely depends on terrain, temp and foot pressure.... I prefer to use EVTripPlanner and watch KwH's. (knowing I...

I was at the SC today, and they said "Engineering has to individually approve your car for 6.1 release" and the massive download is of course the reason for the slow release. But it does seem a rather random process .... Soon enough I will be tapped. Automobile Darwinism, and the...

I think you have to be REALLY careful with these adapters. They are by-passing the one safety generally available for wire fires. That is, put a 30 to 50 on, and pull on it with the 50 amp charger, and the house breaker better work. Same with the undersized extension cord. So 30-30-30 is...
