Bending practice is going pretty well. Needs some tweaking to be perfect right angles but I think this might work out. I left enough material that I can keep playing with this one until I have everything right. Then when the time comes up I have more pieces so the final piece looks nicely finished

Hoping with the pieces I have to be able to make an ATO reservoir and an overflow box. If it comes down to it I can just cut 6 pieces and put a box together that way but I was thinking that bending the back and using 1 flat piece for the front and bottom would look a little nicer

I didn't know power was out. The powerwall setup we have runs everything without an issue even if the area loses power.
We were out for about 45 minutes. At least it was a cool morning.

What knocks out power in Arizona? An abnormally large tumbleweed?
Everything. Heat, wind and bad drivers are the top 3 reasons. But I usually find out about power outages when the neighbors come over or one of my kids texts to say power is out at the school

Well we have the most trees and daily thunderstorms not to mention the occasional hurricane and tornado. I assumed we also had worse drivers but congrats we both made the top ten!

Edit: Arizona has 3/10? What on earth are you guys doing over there??

Wow AZ has 3 of the top 10 and the Phoenix metroplex has 2. Not surprising but still somehow impressive

Somehow, NYS made it 3rd in the safest state to drive in. Can't believe it. I don't agree with it at all. There are too many crazy coconuts on the road. How do yall manage in the top ten worst??

Very carefully and with astronomically high insurance costs

It's everyone from Washington, Oregon, and California that come over here.

Appears that’s where the best drivers are…

I think we just have to admit southerners like us suck at driving…

That's because they chase the bad drivers out of their states and send them to ours.
