    Natural Gas Generators

    Our original whole house generator was a Kohler. Its higher requirement for NG delivery pressure forced us to also put in a new gas main and a huge regulator. That generator lasted about 12 years, but eventually succumbed to increasing instability in its RPM and could not rely on it to start or...

    Natural Gas Generators

    One of the first things we do when power does go out is turn off landscaping lights. Also, don't want to be THAT HOUSE with its Christmas lights on while everyone else scrambles just to keep a phone charged.

    Natural Gas Generators

    A couple one to two week long outages were a lot easier to get through with our whole house generator. We continue with out lives pretty much as normal and our freezers stay frozen. Automatic switchover in 20 seconds is lovely, but still need a bunch of UPS units to let the computers and camera...

    New Year's Eve Driver Error

    After their Sheriff's visit, the responsible driver and his son visited to apologize and promised to pay for damage repairs to our satisfaction. I'm not sure they quite realize how expensive it is going to be making restitution for twenty year old tree and hedge that were both grown and...

    New Year's Eve Driver Error

    He has a minor leg fracture, but can ambulate pretty well in a boot walker. Yes, she would have been badly injured if she got ahead of that door.

    Loryta PTZ5A4M-25X Animal Tracking Example

    We are lucky enough to be above the river valley. Just a few miles away, roads are covered with water. Can't get to towns east of us due mud slides and real reis of trees falling on cars. Amazing few power outages. So, could be worse.

    Loryta PTZ5A4M-25X Animal Tracking Example

    External mic. One has to ask Andy about his special firmware with animal tracking. It isn’t one he allows to be posted or shared.

    Loryta PTZ5A4M-25X Animal Tracking Example

    Andy;s animal tracking firmware isn't perfect, but often better than no tracking. Here is a striking example of PTZ automatic tracking of a coyote. Exposure does get a bit overblown at closes approach, but overall it is pretty good for a camera that would otherwise not track animals

    Incredible light show tonight in Iowa

    Wow! What a sight there. I would have loved your clear sky for this show. Super reds in your picts. Red is from about 200 miles up in atmosphere. Here, near Seattle, I barely got a couple hours before clouds and blocked everything. Caught a fireball, though.
