New portable tire pump. Handy for when you polka hole in your tire.

Alternate method of mobile earth grounding. I suggest confirming with local code.

Isn't that a LiFePoo battery?

Only boomer dads will get this one.

I remember the first time I saw a universal remote control. I thought to myself…well, this changes everything

I’m not sure if the male indicator light is necessary. Switch position is obvious.

Which is a much more secure method. Always practice safe hex.

In the Old West, cowboys used to hang lanterns on the side of their horses to see at night.

How dairy make a joke like that.

Sneak peek of the tilt-mount installation so far. Will post an update when the wiring of the panels and SCC is complete.

That suitcase must have cost a lot of dough.

Previously connected the solar panels, and now running an accessory wire for lights. Thought I was cutting the accessory wire but got the solar wire instead, of course just upstream of the fuse. Amazing how it melted the cutting portion of my crimping pliers. On a bright note I discovered a...

But they can run a lab test.

We got a new kitten today! Man can it fart…

As a manager of sales channel partners I would envision that BB was not giving NAW&S sufficient marketing or reseller discounts to make it a viable product for them. It is a challenge to work with resellers while not competing with them. The industry term is coopetition. BB spends enough on...

After a particularly mild winter the small town of Chestermere became infected with squirrels in the spring. Because the local churches had the best trees, the squirrels often congregated near them and this is what each church decided to do about the pesky animals: The Presbyterian church...

It's a 5 minute walk from my house to the bar, but a 45 minute walk from the bar to my house.

I don’t know if this is funny or sadistic.

I was really nervous about going out with this vegan girl.

12% humidity?!? I can't even comprehend what that would feel like. Proper humidity is when you take a deep breath you have to spit. I assume a swamp cooler would benefit in your situation?

Thank you. Yall are taking this way too deep. We have to take the initiative to prepare for an emergency. This includes making your own power instead of relying on the grid. But you need experience for your first attempt at DIY. I certainly did, and that's what drove me to this forum. The...

I'm not addicted to solar, I can drive away whenever I want.

There was a concern that Alexa may be listening to everything the family says. So the manufacturer created a male version that doesn’t listen to anyone.

Someone complimented my parking today! They left a little note that said "parking fine".

I would start with FLA batteries because they are more forgiving for your learning experience. Learning with lithium could be an expensive lesson. Instead of Duracell FLA I would recommend Trojan. Dealers also have a “house brand” private label by Trojan for less money and are just as good. FLA...

You have studied Ohm’s law and Kirchhoff's law. But what is Cole’s law?

My "portable ground mount” with adjustable fold-flat tilt angle. Four x 100W panels edge-bolted for strength, wired in series for 48V. The six 8V FLA batteries make useful ballast. Even made an appearance on Bing Maps. The PVC pipe was strong, inexpensive and easy to fabricate. No reason why it...
