Does anyone have pictures of a transformer and a meter?

Not what you asked for, but I took these pictures January 17th (snow, daytime) and January 20th (rain, nighttime) driving through Forks, WA. I was impressed with the change over a weekend.

Looks like the light pole(s) and line striping is still missing. Not sure if it’ll get finaled/powered up w/o them.

Forgive me if this has been discussed. What food options are within walking distance (if any)?

Big Earl already nailed it, but there are also 2 Chinese places in town (my favorite is South North - just ate there again today). Forks is so small you can walk from one side to the other in no time. I used to do it after work each day.

In the summer right in front of the Thriftway there is a "Forks BBQ" stand that opens with great burgers, etc.

Best local bathrooms are going to be inside the Pacific Pizza.

I am SO looking forward to a day trip to Forks just for a lunch! ESPECIALLY since there's a number of restaurants within walking distance. It totally reminds me of my friends who used to have private small planes and would fly to airports just for the restaurant. I feel the same way about driving my Tesla!

*** I RETRACT THIS STATEMENT *** "If it's nice this week commissioning and stripping and she should be hot."

Due to MASSIVE F*&K UP by Tesla/GC see edit photo below. No way Clallam County PUD will run conducters without 10 foot clear in front of the transformer.

Original design had the charge posts perpendicular to the curb meeting the PUDs clearance requirements.

This is a perfect example of why you do not remotely management, have a desk jockey engineer on point or allow the development side of any company influence operations.

What a F*&K show!!

The thriftway is a cross the street, it’s a combination Supermarket, sportsman’s store, hardware store - kind of like a Fred Meyer. There is a little cafe in the front that opens up at 8 am. Most of the dining options in Forks are not to my liking. I spend two days/nights a month there an always bring items to eat at my hotel which has a nice kitchen.
