Having just had a new #solar and #battery system installed at home, there's a high chance of stats and system updates being posted.

Grabbed a few extra used padlocks to practice with from eBay.
The two Abus 55/50's are keyed alike but certainly aren't the same from a quick raking perspective. One open, one proving much more difficult. The Stallion lock was part of the same batch. I don't know much about it, other than it's a 3 pink lock with a really small keyway, but it's something other than my Master Lock 3 to practice with.
We weren't necessarily going to watch another movie, and as a consequence drink more Kraken, but the clues are so there in the tags, right in front of us....
Sorry for the lack of alt text, but I'm a bit too tipsy to make sense of things right now.
Ok, this is new. I've seen a few "please disable your ad blocker or click here to continue" but this is the first time I've seen a "no ads, no entry" before.
You know what, I'll just go somewhere else then. Bye.
A free electricity session tonight for an hour so we're going crazy. The house battery is charging, as is Eddie (our EV), and @vmisty75 is grabbing a shower.
Thanks to Home Assistant, we can see we're pulling in around 21kW which I think is the highest I've seen for a while. We're usually more frugal when it's overnight import or stretching the solar were stored during the day, but while we're getting paid to help balance the grid, why not.
Walker, one of your two cats, had an operation last week and has to wear the "cone of shame" for at least 3 weeks. He's an escapologist so while we're not around he's got this soft cone plus a hard plastic one as well. But, while we're around and we can keep an eye on him we've been dropping down to the soft cone so he can relax a little. And boy is he relaxing. I've been trapped under him for a couple of hours now but I don't want to move while he's comfy and relaxed but I'm getting cramp in my left thigh so I'm gonna have to move at some point.
That's the decorations, tree and lights up. Mulled "fruit drink" warming and the greatest Christmas move of all time playing in the background....
