and I think that's overblown anyway.

clarifying q (sorry I had a meetting) that adapter kilbo linked means that I can plug the charger into my existing round plug - amanda May 25, 13:23 [Backboard] 14
- Yes. The home depot link is a cable to go from the 10-30R plug you have to the NEMA 14-50 plug that the Grizzle needs -- nm - oblique May 25, 13:26 6
  - this all seems way too simple. -- nm - amanda May 25, 13:29 5
    - You're lucky you already have that kind of plug in your garage. The grizzle has a short cord (maybe 1-1.5ft) from the plug to the unit but the cord - oblique May 25, 13:34 4
      - the plug is right under some shelves mounted to the wall so I should be able to mount to either the shelves (wood) or directly to the cinderblock. -- nm - amanda May 25, 13:37 3
        
        I would go cinderblock if you can. -- nm - Reagen May 25, 13:38 2
        
        yeah. the cords have some serious heft to them. Good to also have a way to secure them when not in use. I just hang one end over a nail but it - oblique May 25, 13:51
        
        "I would have wink install that, if you can." (what you're really saying) -- nm - amanda May 25, 13:50
- Yes, you should be able to. -- nm - Reagen May 25, 13:24 6
  - is there any benefit to hardwiring? -- nm - amanda May 25, 13:26 5
    - not that I can see. Harder to steal maybe? -- nm - Reagen May 25, 13:33 4
      - I don't lock my garage.... unrelated related the reason dan and birgitta want me to work at their house all summer is that their house doesn't lock. - amanda May 25, 13:35 3
        
        I sometimes don't lock my house when leaving a short distance away. But, Canada. -- nm - Reagen May 25, 13:38 2
        
        they're gone for summer (they're on salt spring island). they winter in new orleans. it's so wacky to me that nothing has ever been messed with. -- nm - amanda May 25, 13:48 1
        
        salt spring is nice in summer. I might visit (haven't been over for the last two years because pandemic) -- nm - Beryllium May 25, 13:54
My ComEd account is now starting to show daily (hourly) usage. Pretty much as expected -- (pic) - oblique May 25, 13:16 [Attachment]
