I hope I’m not going back but I will if I have to, I’ve kinda grown attached to my kidneys over the years and bottomed out potassium and sodium is no beuno for my ticker. I’m sure my employer isn’t going to be pleased but it is what it is, we’ll see.
Kev, I’m gonna be naggy and reccomend going back. Those are both very important things there. And we all would agree an alive and goofy Kevin is preferable to the alternative.

That’s great you can do that there, here in north eastern Ohio we don’t get enough sun to invest in solar. We get more power from potatoes, like in our 8th grade science class, than from the sun.
I don't believe that. I'm in New england . Just oversize the system and buy panels used.

Potassium and sodium are both important for cardiovascular health and function. I said I was being a little nag but honestly you should’ve already been going back in and refusing to leave til they sort it out. End rant.
