Ended up getting up too late today, guess it's going to be a lazy day. Might finish up the fascia on the shed and thta's it. Going to see family for supper.

Super hot today, like +25 so good day to take it easy. Trying to tough not running the A/C because hydro is super expensive in the day. 22C and climbing in my office though. 23 is my cut off where I give in and turn it on. I think once I insulate my server room and seal it, this room won't get as hot. The heat from the servers radiates up through the floor.

Where ya at now? What's there in chitown that you want to do? I loved getting out of town on my road trip. The city sucks.

Rear ended a lady on Tuesday. She stood on her SUV's brakes at highway speed. I didn't hit her bumper, but her trailer hitch impaled my radiator, disabling the car. Driving a rental right now.
I live in NC, but visiting gf's uncle+cousins. We've already decided to go to the aquarium, art museum, the typical bean, magnificent mile, and wabashi.

Hmmm found a 280w solar panel on Amazon for $298. All the solar stores I found that ship within Canada want over $200 just to ship. I might pull the trigger on this while it's available. Now to decide if I want two. :p 1 is going to be more than enough though. I was going to wait until next year to put solar panels on my shed but I might just go ahead and do it this year. $400 for the whole order including MC4 connectors, crimper and MPPT charge controller. Not too bad.

Going to leave this stuff sit in my cart so I can think it over more. Need to be quick though, I don't want to be installing this in winter. Amazon orders can take a while especially for exotic stuff like this.

I should eat something and get to work. Need to finish fascia at very least. Need to mow the lawn too. It's past peak of day now so I can probably get away without sunscreen if I try to stay in the shade as much as I can.
