    Out of context it sounds like a way to measure a hat, I guess? Installing a backup camera is pointless without a way to view it.. so one more modernization was required for the old Exploder. Amazing how small these things are now! Especially compared to the ~20 year old tech it replaced. Oh and…

    Back to the Explorer..

    Two weeks previous to this post, I started the backup camera project. Here, the new camera is installed, wires cut, and now attached to the old wires.

    Found this on the grill cover (which has been off the grill for a bit too long, clearly!). Some kind of tiny wasp, maybe? Something crawled 30 miles to my house from the ocean? Dunno.

    Big summer storm blew through – Mara did not appreciate it, so donned her Thunder Shirt. Willy more excited for the storm also tried to keep the dog from melting down.

    Noah was away at camp for 2 weeks – Imara either enjoyed access to the plush rug, or stood there wondering where he was. Who nose!
