I always took stuff apart as a kid, played with hobby grade rc cars and then did FIRST robotics in high school.
Ended up studying mechanical engineering and never got a job at that profession. While biding my time I made an IO simulator for a baler and reverse engineered a software bug...

A good idea with terrible execution.

So we got a "free" hot tub when we bought our house. I say "free" because of course it needed a little attention.
We've decided it's going to go after this winter because we just don't use it enough, but this night was the first use of the fall and I gotta say... it's heckin' nice.

Continuing the trend of up fitting my garden tractor... I found some wheel weights that happen to fit. 220 lbs of added ass makes a heck of a difference with the box blade.
Just a shame because I have another 180 lbs made to fit the other side of the wheel, but they won't work in this application.

Been quite some time since the toughbook has seen action. It's my only hardware that will interfere with this old Willem programmer so I can read the contents of a flash chip.

Whatever team designed the first gen equinox dash really need to consider an alternate field to work in.
This thing is nothing but an onion with multiple layers of pain and frustration.

Playing with the box blade I just got I managed to hit a home fiber optic line. 😬
Thankfully after tracing it on a hunch I confirmed it was the one abandoned line for my home.

It's distasteful to see all these gov agencies hop on bluesky just to make the false claim that the shutdown is about providing healthcare to illegals.
It stinks like none of the agencies are actually controlling these accounts and it's really just one tiny group of tax funded shit-posters.

So I've spent about three hours today staring at a spreadsheet and adjusted the office lights from an 8 minute timeout to 30 minutes.
This is not a productive day.
