Sending my son off to college in the same car he came home from the hospital in when he was born. That's got to be some kind of achievement unlocked.

I assume this means they're swapping old the old meters for new ones, but I'm not sure what opportunities this will present. Never seen a router/collector in the neighborhood, so not sure how the current network even works.

I've rarely seen a forecast like this before in North Idaho, and certainly not in June.

The cool thing about this (to me) is that I engineered this, rather than just guessing if it would work. I actually used Euler's column formula to see if the threaded rod would buckle!

The solar array on top of this trailer weighs like 170 pounds, and I couldn't lift it safely. So I built a screw jack out of electrical conduit and a big Acme threaded rod, and now I can deploy the array safely from the ground.

Showed my wife, she said, "Look how close that was to your phone!" I said, "Forget the phone, look what else it was close to." She said, "Yeah, but the phone's more expensive to replace."

Smelled a little smoke while welding, looked down at the leg of my jeans. Yup, it was me.

Well, UPS tried to be helpful, but somehow they the threaded rod in transit. @McMasterCarr stepped right up though and overnighted a replacement after crediting my account. Now I have all the parts, but no time 😪
