Happy New Year 2023
stayed home, lit one of our wood piles for a bonfire with some friends. took 5 gallons of red dye and 5 gallons of boy scout water due to the 3' of white stuff we have. Did make it to midnight, but not without some complaining. 4 of 6 piles burned. just the 2 big ones left and the yard / pasture will be ready for fence.

Hydrogen Fuel Cell...
Just think of all the devices and computers we have now running. How many homes have dishwashers now compared to 30 years ago? things have gotten more energy efficient, but the number of things has climbed. AC used to be a nice thing to have in the home, now it is a requirement. electric tooth brushes and electric bath tubs and electric pet blankets. The list of things is endless. as the world moves into greater prosperity we have many times more electrical devices. This is not an argument for picking a fight with fossil fuels, we simply use more power at peak than the grid can handle in a lot of places. Doesn't only matter where the power is coming from it matters about all the things in between too. We need wind, solar, hydro, nuclear, coal, natural gas all together to supply the needs of the country. each region needs to be able to draw in times of need from other regions without rolling blackouts etc.

Hydrogen Fuel Cell...
there will be solutions to this just like there was a solution to people syphoning gas tanks. We REALLY need to fix our grid, i don't care how we do it or what it takes it needs to be done. We are already over taxing out grid without EV. Not fixing our grid is not a solution. the world we live in requires vastly more power than the world 20-30 years ago. There is no way around that.

Hydrogen Fuel Cell...
Toyota is the only OEM looking at hydrogen for passenger duty. The rest are moving electric. I don't see anything preventing the adoption of electric over the next 10 years for passenger duty vehicles. The money is flowing to ev by the manufacturers. I could be wrong though.

New VP44 No Start! Codes P0382 , P1689
You are stepping through testing other things that could be bad. if everything else tests bad then the only thing left is the ecm. Since there is no direct way to test the ecm you need to rule out other things.

Getting on site
Sounds like a dns issue not refreshing on your wifi. A dns refresh would be my first step.

Big Bad Blizzard on Its' Way...
A free standing stove is my vote. I don't like the insert stoves as they prevent natural airflow to draw heat into the room. It's either that or a true high efficiency wood fireplace insert with big glass doors

Big Bad Blizzard on Its' Way...
Yep, that's the plan for the summer. Gonna just burn cords and cords of wood this winter. Trying to decide between a stove or a fireplace insert. The stove is cheaper and more efficient, but the wife really likes the fireplace look. comes down to happier wife vs cost and efficiency. Short list is the Drolet Escape 1800 or a 36 ELITE from fireplacex Dunno. the added cost of the full fireplace doesn't seem worth it to me, but wife.
