Fried spam with some cheap yellow mustard was a regular Sunday lunch. Usually with some boxed waffle mix topped with watery mapleine homemade "syrup".

For sure, but good cheese curds are amazing.

Yep, cream of mushroom or cream of celery. A staple for the upper Midwestern hotdish.

"gravy" is a stretch. This picture looks way better than the reality. Cream soup and usually some bread crumbs or noodles to stretch it. If there was flavor, it was the salt from the tots.

That's not MIA, that's AWOL.

Pretty close! Swap the mash for tots and the gravy for cream soup.

The tater tot hotdish I grew up with. ... Under the tots at least.

I did HQS inspection training once upon a time and that definitely would have made it memorable!

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. It wasn't enough money to make me go down another research rabbit hole, which I suppose they basically count on.

His video convinced me to go for it ("it's just wires")! I had a double slot left in the panel. I'm now technically above the calculated load for our service, but I scheduled charging for late nights and below the max rating of the charger.

With 2 vehicles to charge and one being a 130kwh truck, I needed a second circuit at the very least.

With how much I drive the truck (not a lot, I work from home, about to hit 3500 miles in 11 months), a 240v 20A is even more than enough. But I installed what the mobile charger you see is rated for (32A max, but the plug says 30A ... ?) because I whole-ass anything I do. And now there's a 14-50R for my dad to plug his camper into if he ever decides to visit his grandson.

 

Installed a 40amp circuit for the EVs after charging a PHEV for 5 years and a BEV truck for almost a year on a single 15amp circuit.

50ft x 8 AWG x 4 wires isn't cheap ($1.32/ft with tax), plus conduit, straps, breaker, wet location boxes and outlet cover and the extra cost for an EV rated outlet.

Wasn't room between the post and the garage door king stud for a flush mount box, oh well.

I'll pay the electrician for a proper hard-wired charger when we upgrade service and run it from the main panel instead.

You can use a stick to throw a rock in curling. I've played with several old farts who are better with a stick than I am with a typical delivery (which is also somewhat hard on knees).

 

I took the toaster apart and cleaned the contacts for the lever that signal the hold down while toasting. Now we don't have to stand there and hold it (that was 3 morning routines slightly out of order).

I had to buy a set of special bits because someone decided they needed to use security torx bolts in the corners hidden under the feet. This was of course in addition to the 14 regular old #2 Phillips screws. But it's always nice to have a reason to get new tools.

In other news, the clean signal started flashing on on the espresso machine today, so I have another little project for tomorrow too.

I don't really have anyone else to shout at about this, but it's an amazing way to host services in rootless containers entirely in user space using systemd (systemctl --user).

Anyone else spending their weekend with the Sonoma action?

I've been jumping between the feeds for all the races/qualifying today. The Toyota GR Cup was particularly fun to watch. The new McLaren series seems like it could shape up pretty well too!
