  1. I lose the Android Auto connection and the screen goes back to a non-connected look. So, maybe I don't totally lose connection, but you don't see any connection icons for a few seconds. Phone calls will also drop. After a couple of seconds, it all comes back.
  2. Make sure you aren't losing cell connection. My truck will do the same along Mopac north of Parmer Lane. There are dead spots galore.
  3. We were there in early April last year and caught horrible weather. Just about all of the beaches were closed for 4 days due to the winds and currents. We did the Na Pali coast boat tour and it was really rough so no snorkeling or going into the caves. Hanalei beach near the pier was open but they had a shark sighting. You probably won't have the bad luck we did, but bear in mind it's that time of year. The week after we left they had 10-12" of rain and had flooding issues for a week.
  4. You have to account for the cost of the land, which is by far, the highest component to real estate in California. I'd bet over 80-85% of the homes can be rebuilt for less than $3 million assuming they can get by government restrictions
  5. I was reading (on the internet, so it has to be right) that many of the homes burned not from embers on the roof, but from embers being drawn into the attic through the airflow vents. Once inside, there isn't much that could be done. Does that sound right? In looking at pictures of houses on fire, many seem to have fire resistant roofs like Spanish tile or composition shingles. I know that fire resistant does not equal fire proof.

    Getting old sucks

    Maybe an Alexa type device that he can yell at if there is a problem and his phone is not near him. It saved my aunt when she fell and broke her leg.
  7. Which reel mower are you running? I started with a California Trimmer but moved up to a Revolution 26. I have a larger yard and it's not quite level enough to go shorter than about 3/4".
  8. I don't have Jellyfish, I have Gemstone. I had the same issue with light colors being dimmer and not quite right. It was due to a one of the transformers being faulty. Once they replaced that, the colors were correct and the lights were brighter. I don't know that I would have noticed it as much, but we have 2 transformers because of line length and there was a difference between one side of the house and the other.
  9. I know my Internet isn't the best, but does the picture such for anyone else?
  10. I understand that. Just curious how you decide when to do that and how long you run it...after a couple of flickers, after 30 minutes of it? How do you know when the situation has resolved? I live in the country so I don't really have neighbors to judge the status of things
  11. Generator won't help with that. It's on about a 7 second delay before it starts and about 10 seconds before it starts delivering power. The blips are too fast and would be damaging to the generator to start and stop so much
  12. Buying another property has no bearing on taxes anymore. You are allowed to exclude up to $500,000 if MFJ. That is gain not price as you'd be surprised how many people miss that aspect.
