The Grand Cafe

Yes, it’s been a bit of a roller coaster, but with the cancer issues in the family and two years of being burnt out by Christmas this is getting it “done and dusted” for an early retirement or very much a part time scene - then time to enjoy the music and life in general more. This will be my last upgrade!

When we are allowed to leave, it might be an option. I’m not really planning on going anywhere this year. We can’t even leave Northland at the moment.

Congratulations! I’m planning to hoover up some used gear via our (nz) dealer while they can fully service it. Hopefully, a used 282/200/Hicap all to be serviced and hicap upgraded to dr.

Just gave the go ahead for 27 solar panels, hopefully this will help reduce our huge electricity bill. That’s my upgrade this year.

Plus the speakers :crazy_face:

No they’ll probably be next year.

Apparently in the Texas snow storm solar panels were good at letting the snow slide off the roofs…just what you need down there😉
On a more serious note those that had a Tesla Powerwall battery were largely immune to the power outage. Might be worth considering in the future if you are just selling back to the grid.

Snows not much of an issue for us, we’re not going with the batteries at this stage. There’s big government rebates on the panels and we’ll sell excess power back to the grid. When the batteries become a more economically option will add it then.

Ooh and in Utah too:

Yes, famous for delicious oysters as evidenced by the thousands of shells on the ground around that sign.

This days work: storage space and a new bed for kid 4.
