Been in this house 24 years. No > problems (yet). I'm glad you're in a jovial mood as this thread got a bit tedious. The only "services" we get in the boonies come on the telephone poles. That's electricity. And phone. Not even cable is here yet. Some day. (That's why we all have our own antennas - we get Wi-Fi from miles away.) >> I take care of my own pool, > > Three HOA pools here. No maintenance for me... Just like nobody understands gravity because they've been lied to their entire lives about what it is, nobody understands pool chemistry either. If you care, gravity isn't a force. It's the curvature of spacetime inward rushing at 11km/sec due to mass:energy of the earth - and that inward force is pressing against the electrostatic outward forces of earth's electrostatic mass pushing outward at 9.8m/s/s (which is why the earth is shaped like a ball since those two forces equal out). Except tidal forces. They're actually real forces. Go figure. Anyway, gravity is the earth is expanding outward at 9.8m/s/s and spacetime is rushing inward at 11km/sec which makes us "feel" like there's a force. Who knew. Most people don't. Most people are incredibly stupid. When you truly understand something - it's *never* what people intuit. Likewise with pool chemistry. It's too hard to describe but there are only two things that matter with respect to pool chemistry, one of which is disinfection & the other is saturation, but with those two things are more than a half-dozen "other things" that determine if the water is aggressive or scaling and whether or not you can hold chlorine and how much you need - and any of hundreds of thousands of permutations & combinations will be acceptable - but what happens is pool stores and web sites alike pick one or two of those things and say "that" is what you need to fix - which is why almost nobody understands pool chemistry. Those half dozen things are here: <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elitecrest.orenda> <https://apps.apple.com/us/app/orenda/id1171005221> By the way, that's the best pool-chemistry app on the planet, bar none. >> I cut down trees to burn for firewood myself, > > Kill trees to pollute the atmosphere? Shame. Well, in my defense, most of them fell down already, and I'm just bucking them, but some are the California Bay tree, which is a weed out here, and others are the various California Oaks that get sudden Oak death disease, and others still are the Monterey Pine trees that die from the bark beetle. With all that stuff killing trees, we have plenty of wood to buck. >> I trench for my (off-grid) guerrilla solar setup, > > No solar here. Shame on me. But then my electricity comes from the > nuclear plant 30 miles away so maybe no shame on me?? Nuclear? Ouch. I love nukes but California is into wind and solar. We are filthy rich in sunlight. Not so rich in Uranium. NY/NJ has the best uranium in the country, I'm told (anywhere they have radon problems usually has good uranium ore). Gotta' love the Laurentian Shield for radioactive ores. >> I do my own electrical work, and plumbing repairs, > > No electrical problems yet but I do call the plumber from time to time. Electrical work and plumbing is easy. The only problem is plumbing takes bending and crawling. Like when you have to snake the septic system. Yuck. >> I refill my carbon dioxide sodastream canisters at home, I refill my >> one pound propane tanks from my 20 pounders which themselves are >> filled from my thousand-gallon propane tank, > > Nothing like that here. It's easy. You buy 10 pounds of dry ice and you pop off the valve of a 10-pound carbon dioxide tank and fill it up and cap it before it sublimes. Then you leave it outside because it's gonna get frosty and stick to anything it's touching. Let it warm up outside for a day and now you have 10 pounds of carbon dioxide gas at about 800 psi. Then flip it upside down and fill up the 1 pound (actually 14 ounces) sodastream with the liquid carbon dioxide. Easy peasy. Cheap too. The propane is the same process but you can't flip your 1000 gallon tank so you let gravity do it for you. But you do flip the 20 pound tank to fill the 1 pound propane tanks with liquid propane. Same as carbon dioxide. Easy peasy. >> I refill the vehicles with gasoline myself at home, my cars are 30 >> years old and I do all the maintenance & repairs, including changing >> the tires when they're worn and balancing them at home, etc. > > Love those gas stations down the street.

Gas I get at Costco in 50 gallon increments and then I fill up the car with my own gas pump at home. <https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DLDKHL7B> Or I siphon if I'm lazy. I put the can on top of the car for height.

Sounds like a bit of paranoia thinking to me though. Luckily we each have only one spouse (at most) to worry about, right? And we all know where she is 'cuz we've been tracking her for years. :) >> If someone is going to track a spouse, I doubt they care if it's >> legal or not, but I even doubt whether or not it's illegal if no >> court order is involved.

But hiring someone > to do the spouse tracking can likely be illegal. I don't know - as I'm not a lawyer - but I don't think so. I think it's fine to track anyone you want as long as you use legal means to do so. Unless there's a court order or a trespassing decree. Did you know that California has trespassing laws that start from infraction and go to felony? That's as complicated as the California curb-color laws. Yellow. White. Green. Blue. Red. Do they really need 5 different colors? >> The privacy hole is that you "can" be tracked.

And you'll probably never know they're (gasp) looking at it... Every time some lady in an office tells me she needs my identifying information and then she says they "protect" it, I give her an earful. >> It's so easy to add a keylogger to any computing device, it's not >> funny.

As you know, I have no passwords or pins on my computer devices, but my kids and wife have them and we all know everyone's code 'cuz it's their birthday. Ooops. I said too much...
