Honey Harvest 2025 underway. I'm right around four gallons with another hive to go. Should end somewhere around eight to ten gallons when said and done.
You have read the tea leaves about what will happen when another major hurricane hits the NC/SC coast with a direct impact. With all of the growth that has occurred in the NC/SC coastal counties and areas further inland and the lack of planning and infrastructure to keep up with it, a major hurricane would cause property damage on an unbelievable scale and emergency services would be overwhelmed. Just the evacuation traffic alone would cause nightmares for those heading to higher ground. Add this to the fact that many of the residents who live in these areas now have never been through a hurricane like Fran or Hazel and you have the recipe for disaster on an unforeseen scale.Hate to keep harping on this. If/when we have a landfalling hurricane we’re in trouble y’all. Especially somewhere like here in SC that hasn’t scaled emergency response with the population boom on the coast.
My wife got a warranty with her 2024 Chevrolet Trail Blazer and it has already come in handy as in your situation. The shifter in her car had an issue with a sensor that let the computer she had shifted into park. Because of it she was having problems starting her car. The dealership we bought it from installed a new shifter and sensor free of charge. Without the warranty it would have been a $ 1,200 repair. Problems like this never happened when automobiles didn't have computers.in I would like to talk to you about your cars extended warranty!
Never bought an extended warranty until a couple years ago. My wife got a brand new 2023 rogue a few years back. It was going to be a high mileage vehicle so I bit the bullet and bought the Ex warranty.
Fast forward to 3 weeks ago car had a indistinct hard to place ticking sound. If you were on the driver's side it sounded like it was on the passenger. Go over there and it sounded like it was on the driver side. Next day it was louder and a check engine light came on. Took it to the dealer the next day and they were saying a new sensor for the actuator for the oil compressor. Total cost $4400. So they run it by Nissan to make sure it's covered and it is. They go to replace it and find the pin connecting the actuator to the crankshaft is tore up.......need new lower block but an inspector has to sign off on it. He comes then they send for an engineer and it turned into a full engine replacement.
Thankfully I had the warranty
Yeah if one sensor can fail and cost me $4400 then we need to rethink the way we build cars. A regular old.manual oil pump would have had this problem and caused me.to lose an engineMy wife got a warranty with her 2024 Chevrolet Trail Blazer and it has already come in handy as in your situation.

I believe that a car manufacturer could make a fortune coming out with a no frills line of cars and trucks without the sophisticated computers that automobiles have today. Cars and trucks like this would be less expensive and would not have a 500 page owner's manual to learn all of the features today's automobiles have.

I paid $6500 for a 3 ton 16 SEER unit in 2019, 3 year labor and 10 year parts. It’s just where we are now with cost of living and hyper money printing.-One year ago I bought a 3 ton, 16 SEER2, 2 stage American Standard AC + gas furnace + programmable thermostat with 2 year labor/10 year parts warranty for $10.4K installed in Savannah
-Today, someone I know bought a 2 ton, 18-19.5 SEER2 variable one phase Lennox AC + gas furnace + smart thermostat with 10 year labor snd parts warranty for $16.5K (after $1.5K Lennox rebate) installed in Atlanta
I thought my American Std 3 ton/16 SEER2 + furnace/therm. for $10.4K system was reasonable. But $16.5K for the 2 ton Lennox system seems a bit high compared to how I did. Opinions?
