Hardest part was using 12Ga wire bc it's on a 20A circuit, and then putting that through the waterproof conduit since it's not in an enclosed space.

We have an outlet under the sink in our island for the dishwasher and disposal on its own circuit, what better place to pull another outlet for this low-power vacuum? Pics tell most of the story. First time using the Wago connectors and they're great. Fully rated as well.

I ended up making it a little too large so it's a hair loose, and I think that the final ID of the Venturi tube is too large, so I might tighten that up when I print one for my dad who has the same blower. Here's a bunch of pics of the thing. Before/after videos were... Meh. Can't really tell.

I forget what got me on the idea, but I couldn't find any non-generic Venturi 3d prints for my Greenworks 80V blower. Pulled up OnShape and started going crazy with the calipers on the existing "nozzle" that clips onto the end.

Emi has been getting notifications of "trending news" articles that are about a video game she's been playing, but turn out to be a link to an AI search for a "news headline" that's completely fake. Made up characters in games, made up updates/DLC... It's bizarre.

Oh I guess you can only attach 4 pics... Blue sky, you gotta warn me when I select 8!

Lo and behold, grass started to grow! Crazy what happens when you actually use seeds... But I'm absolutely obsessed with my little 1' x 5' patch of thick grass. Pics attached of the progress over about a month! 😁 #grass #barfgrass #toiletpapergrass #dumbass

Literally the moment I opened the bag of seed I knew my fuck up. The "Lawn Starter" I bought was ONLY fertilizer, and all the "grass" I grew was just hay. No wonder it got crazy tall and sprouted little hay seed stalks.....

Threw down my barf patch of toilet paper and seed and also seeded the yard

I gave it a few weeks but eventually got some more grass seed at Costco after watching tic-tacs of the lawn guy mixing water, TP, and grass seed and it worked like a charm! How cool! I can try that on a particularly bad patch where the dirt was eroding!

Watered the hell out of the yard for another week, but damn if barely anything came up! There was so tall grass starting to grow, but nothing like my neighbor!

Went to Lowe's and saw the contractor bag but also saw this larger even cheaper bag of "lawn starter" and I assumed it was a mix of grass seed and fertilizer which seemed ideal! Got it, bought a spreader, went crazy, basically emptied a 40lb bag of it all over the yard.

My neighbor just laid down seed and his was coming up within a few days of watering it so I knew that I needed to put some fresh seed down and he recommended the contractor bag since neither of us care much about what kind of grass so long as it grows. I'm focused on preventing erosion for now.

Compost when started and about a week in. I rotated it too early but it's back to 110 or so, so I'm still happy.

And was given an Aero garden Bounty Basic (worth like $130?!) to start my own seedlings!! Photo dump below...

I got two big bags of quality compost to kick start my own, a Tito's lemonade, a grilled cheese from the Speakcheesy food truck (the Popeye was delish), got my soil tested for lead/arsenic, listened to music and watched some kids play on the playground, and then on the way out, I filled a 1 Q survey

Dude one of my favorite things to do when traveling abroad is try the McDonald's in the region! So many neat local specialities I've found.
