Ionix is selling solar panel installation door to door. Â Does anyone have any experience with them?
I'm looking for recommendations for a handyman/plumber to replace a frost free outside faucet that must be accessed through my crawl space.
Tnx,
Carl
"There is currently no state regulation on HOAs in Colorado, giving residents little redress outside of the legal system. The state’s Division of Real Estate does operate something called the Colorado HOA Information and Resource Center, which can take complaints from residents and use the information as part of the center’s periodic reports to lawmakers. What the office can’t do is act on any of these tips or alleged grievances."

On the 27th you published https://www.montrosepress.com/opinion/opinion-obama-pretends-to-be-above-the-political-divides-he-fostered/article_14a49d30-36be-11ec-b418-fb6b41b1822a.html  You described her thusly, "Rachel Marsden is a columnist, political strategist and host of an independently produced French-language program that airs on Sputnik France."
What you failed to mention is that Sputnik is an official Russian state sponsored media outlet. Â IOW, it is a Russian propaganda source that, in this piece, is continuing Russia's sponsorship of Trumpism and should have been identified as such for readers.
It feels like summer, but the fall migrations start in a couple of weeks.  Many threatened and endangered bird species will be heading south on journeys of many thousands of miles, and they do it at night.  Please help them by turning off as many lights as possible  for the next two months.  For more info: https://rockies.audubon.org/naturalist/lights-out/fall-migrations-begins?ms=rockies-eng-email-ea-newsletter-engagement_20210803_%28rockies%29_newsletter-202108_-_cloned&emci=bc71c5c0-6af1-eb11-b563-501ac57b8fa7&emdi=087336c9-9df4-eb11-b563-501ac57b8fa7&ceid=4638472&utm_source=ea&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=engagement_20210803_(rockies)_newsletter-202108_-_cloned
I went to a blues/jazz performance there last night and it was quite enjoyable. Â It's an intimate venue with a bar. Â In addition to the stage side of the place, there is a separate "library" set up for social interaction. Â According to Michelle, there will be performance every Friday night at 7 pm, but they will open at 4 pm so people can gather, jam, talk, etc. Â
Precedence Upstairs is a pretty new venture for downtown Montrose and is still developing. Â On the 20th they're featuring Big Band music. Â Check out their website: Â https://www.precedenceproductions.com for more info and upcoming events.
Thanks for the RSVPs I've rec'd! :) Â Any new additions, pse let me know so I can set up adequately.
