Perpetual motion? I figured that one out! Well, same law of thermodynamics cracked wide open.
- Large capacity pure sine wave inverter connected to car
- Inverter provides up to 2500W at 120V
- Car plugged into inverter
Now I just need an inverter that will let me do level 2 😎

That said, a guy went through a red light when I was going through around 40MPH. Slammed on the brakes, who knows what kind of swerving we each did.

Working a crawlspace reorg, found this in my Atari box. I have no idea where it came from - didn't have it as a kid, would definitely have bought it in the wild, but have absolutely no recollection of doing so.

And it was delicious!

Planning a reorganization of the crawlspace. Went across state lines to buy shelf components. Great experience, would do again because I couldn't fit everything in my car in this trip

We wanted to make a stop in Canada (Saskatoon) to see a friend of ours. Decided not to with air quality and the baby not doing well with that.
Friend sent us this map. Turned out we made the right choice 😟
(For once Colorado has actually been pretty good!)
