Too late. I just purchased it out from under you. thanks for the tip! :cool: ?

they were both at the Tesla Takeover (San Luis Obispo, ca) last weekend (got a picture with Cory, nice guy), but that looks like a custom podcast studio.

Just a little anecdote from me after 40 years in software.... "I don't know what I'm doing next" is usually code for "going to work for the competition"..... but it avoids the poaching accusations.

That was me, president of the HOA. the solution is to sell the house and move…..??

since you got enough sun, maybe consider just going off grid with some power walls? They got some crazy power now .... 400 w/panel!

@HaulingAss @SSonnentag Culprit identified. Center pivot bolt on the beam was not torqued down, visible light between the members! ? It is VERY tight now..... @Zabhawkin apologies for hijacking your thread, back to the OT!

yes, gusting to 60 MPH I think. They did have a tornado (official now) down in LA, but that is 200 miles away. They are definitely engineered for wind loads, footings are 3 foot diameter x 7 feet deep, poles are 8" diameter. So I was quite surprised to see (heard it first!) it doing that...

Do you really want to own a 3D printer or do you just want a few custom parts? Download Fusion 360 (free for hobbyists), design your parts, generate an STL file, then ship if off to Shapeways (or similar) and let them print it on the big machines. Tons of material options, yes even Stainless...

Fortunately for the Rivian, there is a J1772 charger (and a Tesla dest charger) right there at the winery. I did ask them how the trip went (Seattle) and they said it was surprisingly easy and not what they had expected.

At the (Castoro Cellars) whale rock music festival (benefit for my high school marching band). Miir has a booth engraving their mugs and bottles. Laser engraver is running off outlets on the Rivian

If I have time, I like to mess with them and tie them up as long as possible. I kept one scammer ("you have won the lottery") going to 20 minutes pretending to be a redneck pig farmer. .... "Can you send it in 20's? Our bank won't take anything bigger". On a more recent call from Hilton...

Hero (check) Electric car (check) Gets the beautiful girl (check) Best sci-fi movie.... EVER (imho) ( check) Now, with loud motors, he wouldn't have been able to hear her beckoning to him, and then he wouldn't have gotten laid,. Conclusion: Electric cars get you laid.

So much Lithium, so little time......
