Tempe! And nice. I saw Book of Mormon a few years ago when I was poor had nosebleed seats, liked it a lot. Aladdin is one of my favorite Disney movies so I'm excited.

I saw it 4rth center. I would have enjoyed it just as much from the back and had an extra $100 in my pocket. I always forget how on broadway there’s barely a bad seat in the house. Saw Carousel from the last row and it was great.

 Finally bought an electric mower. I'd tried to hold off until my forever old Troy Bilt died but it won't quit. I was going to get the $549 self propelled model with a 7.5Ah battery but last night I wandered out and saw this non self propelled model with a 5Ah battery on clearance for$369. I figured I can do without the extra ~20 minute run time and having to push it isn't a problem seeing as I already do that. Especially if it saves me nearly $200. Having to recharge in the middle kinda sucks but I can mitigate it since I already have an EGO leaf blower that I can borrow the battery from and it'll actually force me to take a water break or something.

They're so light (mostly poly construction) that I don't really mind not having self-propelled. I think my only major complaint is the side discharge chute was apparently designed by a not-so-good high school engineering intern. Unless you're cutting a quarter inch or less its very clog-prone since it both turns the clippings 90 degrees and gets narrower as it goes. I have the line trimmer which came with a 2 AH battery. It...works for the mower, but I don't think I've ever been able to wring more than 20 minutes out of it before it dies. If you have a particularly large yard you may want to look into acquiring a second 5 AH battery at some point down the road.

So I figure I can mow until it dies, put it on the charger, pop in the small battery, run it until it dies, go in the house and down a bottle of water, screw around on my phone for a few minutes, finish with the other battery while the small one charges, and then recharge when I'm done.

I got one of them new fangled OLED Displays   Someone asked me if it was going to show old cigarette commercials that appeal to kids, which has me wanting to make a Joe Cool vs Marlboro Man tiny fighting game inside a cigarette box. But I am going to use these for room readouts on temp/humidity. They will tie back into a larger touchscreen thermostat to control AC. All controlled by a phone app. Also some other components for Home automation/security 4x  4x  2x  4x

Pi is fun. ESP8266 is fun. Home automation is fun. How are you handling power? Just skinny black cords running down walls? Also, programming this stuff is great Babby's First Project level stuff. If I can do it, anyone can. How are you handling communication? Pi polls 8266 with sensor, 8266 responds? Or 8266 with sensor just shouts into the void regardless of whether or not anyone's listening?

Sexual Lorax posted:Pi is fun. ESP8266 is fun. Home automation is fun. How are you handling power? Just skinny black cords running down walls? Yeah I am in no ways a programming wiz, more of a reverse engineer others code till it works for me. Its a lot of researching code libraries and then piecing it all together. As for the communication I have been playing with Blynk and like it a lot. Easy app to use and it provides a lot of function from video streams to alerts on phone. I am also putting together a server to host Blynk on as well as the Pi communication and camera streams. For outdoor power I am toying with the idea of small solar panels and battery backups since the sensors don't need much, indoors will probably run them through the walls to outlets. But then again I said that about my A/V cables too and they have been running down the walls for like 6 months now  I do plan to make custom enclosures in Fusion360 and then 3d print/laser cut them for a nice clean look in the end so will probably run all the wires then.

Definitely make sure the other battery is good to go at all times. Seconding this. It burns battery if your grass is either damp or tall. I've had it shut off on taller grass too. I have the previous generation version of that mower. Aside from that, I love it though. I have their string trimmer, blower and hedge trimmer too.

Its what makes open source so great, those with a lot of knowledge can trickle down so other can learn. I would say you do need to have a basic understanding of how a program works cause a lot of the code out there is not so much copy, paste, upload. But if you told me to sit down with a blank window and write the code I wouldn't know where to begin, give me something and I can follow what its doing and modify it to work.

Yeah, I know how to program, and I could eventually come up with something from a blank project, it’d be a lot of trial and error and wasted effort when I could just go grab something as a bass and go from there for a lot of this stuff. I’d still contend it’s pretty easy to go in with no prior programming knowledge and get stuff working after some googling. Anecdotal, but I know several people who have.

Update on the EGO mower I bought Monday. I love it! It did my whole front and back yards that were slightly damp in one single charge so about 50ush minutes of mowing time. Only had to stop once in the middle to empty the bag. And here I was expecting it to die, had the 2.5Ah battery all lined up as a backup too. Sidenote, am I just supposed to put the clippings in the trash? I've always mowed with a side discharge so I don't know if I'm supposed to like recycle it or what  Front is like 1/3 the size of that

Many don't want those in the trash that goes to the dump. In my area, you have to put them in clear bags (so they can see it's lawn clippings and not trash) and they are picked up by a separate truck that comes through on trash day.

Usually organic material gets handles in different manner. For instance in Az I have a big green trash bin similar to your blue one there that is restricted to plant waste(yard clippings, trimmed branches etc).

I do it because I’m lazy and don’t want to haul a heavy bag of grass when it’s 110° outside. If the clippings bother you, you can try to move slower or go back to bagging it.

Mulching is for late summer/fall. When the grass is growing almost fast enough to watch in the spring and early summer it's usually too wet/thick for effective mulching and just ends up sticking to the inside of the deck.

So bag until like Septemberish? I guess I never payed attention to all this, I always mowed the front while my dad mowed the back on the riding mower

Just bought a 2016 Yamaha Tricity. I've been wanting one for a while, because they are cheap to register in my country (because they have 3 wheels, they are registered as a car, and being only 125 cc means its only $60 a year, compared with $270 for a motorcycle. Very stable.
