easy'nuff work, new wraught-iron system (not really wrought, nor iron, just the illusion of.) that needed fingered out. But once Burnout and I had the system, things just flowed.

Sonday piddles
Didn't get as much done as I had planned. Was 'mowing' the leaves in the yards and on the drive. Not that I truly care how the yard looks up here, but it is a safety precaution.

Started to make noise about the recent (S)election cycle, my take on why a certain half of the uni-party got their asses whooped and it hit me. There is NO choice. Not a revelation sort of … Continue reading well, that sorta died
Late post, was bizzy.
Final install of the Solar array box, re-directing the signal from the controller through the limits to the relays, vs relays, limiters, motor. And I got all turned around on those limiters and had to cut back to ground zero, backtracking current flows, checking diode integrity, and just making sure I had everyting hooked up … Continue reading Late post, was bizzy.
