#frontier Internet has been down for more than a day.
When the service is working, everything is great. Frontier internet really sucks when there's a problem, they are hard to reach and they don't give updates.
And it looks like I'm not the only one...

It is 9am and it is already 94° here.
Don't worry about the time on the clock, we lose power here frequently and I got tired of resetting it.

My Dad made this stand light, it was probably in the late 1970's. At that time it had a 500w halogen lamp, very hot and a little dangerous.
I changed it over to an LED light and rewired it, just because the old cord was looking kind of tired.

I recently had an "Aha Moment" about working on my YouTube channel. I've been worried about the technical aspects of making videos. Inspired by a creator that says your first few videos don't get watched. I'm making my first short video and will then focus on longer content.

What does my vision for 2025 entail? I intend to generate content centered around making, crafting or repairing items, exploring amateur radio, participating in outdoor pursuits, and possibly other topics. The purpose of this material is to empower people to fulfill their own goals.

I'm filled with enthusiasm and an ambitious vision for this year. I want a detailed plan, yet I'm eager to dive into the adventure and explore. #BigPlans #Flexibility #2025Goals

My value for this year is to be useful. Rather than posting meaningless videos and memes I will create content that is helpful, informative, and engaging.
Hopefully, my content will be entertaining as well.

This year I am going to focus on three things:
1. creating medium to long-form YouTube videos
2. creating short-form content for YouTube and other channels
3. documenting the projects that inspire me

I've felt inadequate and unmotivated, but in 2025, I want to move past these feelings. There are real issues to address this year, and my insecurities aren't worth the worry. I have goals and things to share, so I'm ready to move forward.

Inspiration stems from within, influenced by our history, observations, challenges, and successes. Our brain processes life experiences, often resulting in "normal" feelings we might ignore. Occasionally, a new input sparks a novel idea or a unique assembly of elements.

In 2025, I plan to pursue my passions and step out of my comfort zone, focusing on action and self-awareness rather than just social media. As a maker, amateur radio operator, computer enthusiast, and photographer, my channel will be full of surprises. Subscribe or follow to explore together.

Meshtastic battery life. This is my Heltec T114.
As you can see it has been running for 4 days, 17 hours and it still has 63% battery. This is going to be a device I can charge just once a week.
I may get another, without a display, just to see how long it lasts...
