Joe: 1.11" in my rain gauge this morning for Northern Redding

SYSTEM: Please welcome Sungold who just joined the chat.

Joe: Instead of looking at artifically regulated lake elevation levels, I wish someone would graph lake inflows in CFS compared to prior years

Sungold: I believe th BOR has lake level charts on their website. Google local Bureau of Reclamation

Joe: Sungold: Lake levels are completely man controlled, thus tell us nothing about drought or rainfall

Sungold: OK, their website still has a lot of info that may be of interest to someone

Jarhead: this is their way of perpetuating the drought so they can pass more laws to control water rights...

ProducerBadBob: Brenda, who is an actual weather person and not the TV variety, looks at those numbers and just shakes her head because they make no sense to her.

Sungold: Go for it Linda, come up with a great slogan

Sungold: I know exactly what I will do with it too.....involves a lot more police, K-9 officers, and give each child of ours 1 million!

Sungold: The rest of it will remain classified!

Jarhead: a Veteran center... ,many veteran organizations together including restaurant and canteen and museum and meeting rooms and...

Carl: Sunny-ado[t Linda and I please

Jarhead: Hi Mom...I mean Sunny....lol

Sungold: It is folks like your Linda who are the salt of the earth, they know how to save money, how to invest and how to live. My grandparents, aunts, uncles, and mom and dad were all like that. No one in my family or my husbands family were ever out of work. They may not have liked what they did for a t

Sungold: time or two, but they owned homes, cars and raised good hard working kids

drmaria: Yeah I was so upset when I missed that Mraz show!!! I hope he comes back!

SYSTEM: Please welcome dave who just joined the chat.

SYSTEM: Please welcome Carl who just joined the chat.

dave: Google Earth last images of Shasta county were on 4/15/15. It shows the large solar installation on walmart's roof, the FAA at south end of airport and Shasta College.

SYSTEM: Please welcome dave. who just joined the chat.

dave.: Why doesn't the newspaper have solar? It has solar water heaters. City of Redding has 3 kw on the library. That's the size for a three bedroom house

SYSTEM: Please welcome Greg who just joined the chat.

dave.: Google earth shows many residences with solar. They get the tax credits which the city and county do not.

SYSTEM: Please welcome Gref who just joined the chat.

Gref: Is the subject just about solar?

Sungold: Time to get going, enjoy the rain everyone!

Gref: Came in late. Has there been talk about the V s o?

ProducerBadBob: Gref last few days it's been covered pretty extensively

ProducerBadBob: We got a call yesterday morning from Don Mangrum who was VSO for many years about the history of the office and how it's changed.

Gref: I heard the pod casts, Ium wondering if anyone realized that the V s o no l9nger wears a uniform and works with veterans who no longer wear a uniform and the vso now works with civilian regulations

ProducerBadBob: uh...ok

ProducerBadBob: pretty sure that's a given, since it's a county agency

SYSTEM: Gref just signed off.

SYSTEM: Please welcome Gref who just joined the chat.

Gref: Yep, it's a given

Gref: However,the vso cannot give orders like he or she was in the military

ProducerBadBob: Right...

ProducerBadBob: But they can LEAD, which is not about giving orders, it's about LEADING.

Gref: Mac in my opinion is a p.o.g. admin who cared about himself and no one else. Evidence being his newsletters.

ProducerBadBob: Opinion Noted.

Gref: In my opinion if he was aLEADER then he could have led better

Gref: Did anyone try to see him at his office and who wasn't a veteran big wig? 3 days a week the guy wouldn't seenanyone.

Gref: When Don, Bob, and Dave were there, you could actually talk with them.

ProducerBadBob: So not a fan. OKies. you might want to send a email to Larry Lees about your concerns and ask that they vett the next applicant with that in mind?

Gref: I'm curious as to why everyone thinks his departure hurt veterans? I would love to see how many people mac, himself actually helped ?

ProducerBadBob: Well next open line you can call and ask on air. Deal?

SYSTEM: Please welcome Dan who just joined the chat.

Carl: There were comments on availability and hours of service.

drmaria: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/community-heroes-tickets-19959119263

Gref: What did the guy accomplish? I bet he wasn't certified to initiate a claim.

Carl: Friday will be a discussion this. Start it at 715.

Gref: Gladly. Rick got it right, the guy did not connect with veterans. He connected with retired officers.

Dan: Question for your guest, the PUC a few weeks ago just put in place exit fees to home owners who leave the grid and will become the standard. The home owners are not providing viable energy to the grid and as solar customers use less it makes sense all the benefits given to them will go away

Dan: The main frame cost mone

Dan: The grid is going to be their cost base

Dan: I know two people with the hybred systems and they cannot fully function on the battery or even the generator back up

Jarhead: totally agree GREF

Dan: I listened to you show Bob, interesting you bring it up. The fires caused by these batteries is an issue.

Gref: I believe if Mac was a real leader, he'd still be here. I'm an o e f disabled vet. From his newsletters with his picture on them, it seems like he was an HR specialist. Not a real combat veteran.

Jarhead: may be one of the best things to happen for our Veteran community

Gref: Thanks Jarhead

ProducerBadBob: Well properly designed they are safe, the problem is the CCS manufacturers are flooding the market with units that lack safety internals.

Dan: I wonder when the insurance companies will be selling policies covering these systems

ProducerBadBob: Cheap Chinese S***

Gref: Agreed. Just because he looks good on paper doesn't mean he's goodm

Dan: Then there is China and the off market batteries

Jarhead: he came to a few of our meetings... expected him to pee on himself at anytime...

Gref: Lol 8f a man any Man spoke to him, he'd bow down however if a woman talked with him and she wasn't married to an officer the po g would treat her like poop

Dan: I am betting the government gets involved before long. Google is beta testing a system in other states for people to see if they are even a candidate for solar

Dan: What does yout guest know about that, curious they are not testing the product in California

Gref: I still haven't heard from the so called leaders in the veteran community address how his departure hurt veterans?

Dan: http://www.wired.com/2015/08/much-can-save-solar-panels-just-ask-google/

Dan: Project Sunroof

Carl: Lot of people commenting on this problem We'll talk avbout it again Friday

Dan: calculates your home’s solar power potential using

Gref: I wonder if the "leaders" are self appointed? I've only met a couple of real leaders who not only acts with courage but goes the extra mile as a leader should

Gref: Vint is 1 of those leaders

Gref: He cares both for the men AND women veterans. Not just the old guys.

Jarhead: I know many leaders in our Veteran community...some better then others... but I have not heard one say that this was a bad thing....most recognized his shortfalls and anyone claiming this is a bad thing may be only talking about just another loss and having to rebuild again

Dan: Where this is going is the people who do not have power potential from solar are going to be penalized in some way

Gref: But carl, you said yesterday that you'd talk about this today

Jarhead: be careful of that Vint guy... Carl will tell you he is trouble...lol

Gref: Lol

Gref: I'm sure he can stir things up but he is a honorable man. Who lives what the corps taught him.

Carl: Overcome by events Talked about it Monday/Tuesday and will have more info on Friday.

Gref: I'd love to see retired officers take care of all veterans not just whiney p o gs. I'd like to see them live their lives by the standards they swore too. Lead, follow or get put of tge way

Gref: Oops out of the way

Dan: Not a good day for solar panels

Jarhead: lol...

Jarhead: Jan 16th Millie and Cathy fundraiser... communtiy heroes event...

Jarhead: 1700

Gref: The next v s o should be someone who has integrity and honor.

Gref: I'll be there.
