Our flat roofed desert house responded to 1.7 inches of rain by peeing with vigor on the living-room rug and separating drywall tape on the ceiling. While it's not leaking now I'm pretty sure it hasn't cured itself, so climbed a ladder and hunted the problem. Once up there I remembered that these days I get out of oxygen real fast and carting 5 gallons of elastomeric roof coat up and applying is probably pushing it, so I have a call out to a roofer. Gotta remind myself to be handy with money.

Played around a bit with a new remote id module for R/C airplanes and drones (i.e., quadcopters and such). This topic can fill pages of debate and is somewhat controversial for some, but as the law is now any model/drone over 249 grams in weight has to have a broadcasting module on it, except when flying in specified pre-approved flying sites, such as those used by a flying club. This is a gross oversimplification of a complicated topic but that's the meat of it.
Anyway, I was more interested in the technical details of simply seeing how the thing would work
I'm not an RCer, but I want a remote control variable resistor for a radio antenna. A friend gave me an old airplane transmitter/receiver. I spent the last two days, trying to understand it, then how to make a 270* servo have full travel with a transmitter/receiver that only makes it rotate 90*.
DD and her family just left after an extended stay over the holidays. The grand kids are lots of fun to have around. The quiet with them gone is almost too much.
Now that the snow blower is in place and ready, I'm quite certain that if we get any snow at all the only tool needed will be a broom. That's the way it's been working the last few years anyway.
