Oh wow, that was indeed very cool!

Tom, great post, thanks. I also have zero social media, and I don't mean I just don't have the apps, I mean I've never registered accounts with them. I'm the one guy in the world not on bookface, etc. Put your phone in a faraday bag when you drive. https://www.thedrive.com/news/license-plate-cameras-will-soon-track-phones-wearables-infotainment-and-even-your-pets Love to hear Shawn say, privacy isn't paranoia, it's protection.

I've been running on a 12,500 Westinghouse and a 50 amp pigtail into the breaker box. It powers the whole house, no problem, aside from central air. Hurricane season is when we need it most, and you definitely need a/c in those months. So today there's a crew putting in a 22kw Generac. We'll be glad to have this, and just in case we lose power and that won't run, I'm still going to be able to rely on the Westinghouse if need be - triple redundancy!

Nice, another Texan. Welcome.

Mostly I've been listening to AI-generated music recently. I've never been one to listen to music of my earlier years. If it isn't produced inside of the last 4 or 5 years, I've thrown it away. There are a few that stick with you, but all that 80's hair band music I used to like, I left it in the 80's where it belonged.

Remembering my dad, in the Air Force during the Korean conflict.

yes, that, very correct

👍

I was wondering if any of you guys had seen these, or tried them out? I picked up the E06R Pro in the green case, very nice light. It's got super functionality, five brightness modes in both spotlight and floodlight modes, good strobe (although the only way it works is it switches between flash and slower strobe, about 2 seconds per mode). Turbo mode is 1600 lumen, super bright. Red laser is very bright, and it has blue light (which has actually come in handy already). It's got some cool other colorful gimmicks with the built-in little color lights, but they're not really useful, more gratuitous. The case is really solid, the whole thing is decently lightweight. One of my first observations was, wish it had a green laser instead. Then I happened upon the E06R Pro RG, guess what, green laser and a nice red light for hunting, etc. So, bought one of those in orange case. Pretty much identical, all the same functionality aside from the green laser and red light instead of red laser and blue light. The green laser is actually super strong, even in daylight, in the dark you'll see it forever. These are nice, I recommend them. The E06R Pro was like $75 and the E06R Pro RG was like $85.

Shit man, looking good.

Geez, that's awful! Where did you bury the BIL?

🤣

That Secure It stuff is real nice. Can't decide if I want a locker style room, or more of a display style room.

First nine words out of his mouth hit the nail on the head. 😎
