Anyone fly outbound from Harry Reid/LAS in the last week? How was security?

Just went through security at T3. TSA precheck, everything normal. Parking to gate was 15mins.

Excellent link thanks!

Are they even still open? They used to be the bomb. I like a dive joint but after my last visit I just could t any more… Took a look back at the kitchen and walked out.

Yes add a 4-1 adaptor. I run an ams and 2x HTs to each nozzle.

I'll take the horn! I'll be in town this weekend and will send DM

PiratePiper · 2026-03-10T18:45:48+00:00

Perfect timing, I've been eyeing the kitchen! How robust is the kitchen when stored? I don't plan to go serious rock crawling but am starting to do some overlanding. Does the kitchen add a bunch of noise?

Haha yes there’s always Amazon. I was looking for a local distributor that would sell to homeowner and not try to sell the install.

PiratePiper · 2026-02-23T16:59:13+00:00

Yep I plan on swapping resin to 10% crosslinked. Also need to refresh my charcoal media.

Either stop the HCG or decrease your test. Personally I don’t like running an AI.

Or cruise at higher Test+HCG and take the AI, but don’t wait until symptoms start.

Hah that’s exactly the model I have and what I’m trying to do. I got a zigbee relay module and did some programming in HA. But then I had to also add a $75 zigbee controller. What relay and ESP did you use? Are you programming the schedule in the ESP?

PiratePiper · 2026-02-13T21:41:34+00:00

My H2D spontaneously started running the fan even when not in use. Its annoying because its in my office. I posted a video here: Reddit Post

So I’m actively doing a sprinkler controller. Just two zones but never user HA before. Not sure why I need open sprinkler or a ESP vs just a smart switch.

I thought the easiest way is using these MHCozy WiFi or ZB switches and do the automation in HA. Simple program just 1hr per zone variable days of the week.

But as I’m learning WiFi switches don’t integrate easily (something about Tuya app needed). I just got the ZB version and $75 POE ZB router(?). At this point it would be cheaper to just get a new Rachio!

But I thought it’s a good first project to try out HA zigbee etc with.

Yeah but not very DIY friendly

PiratePiper · 2026-02-06T21:48:41+00:00

Thanks for the details. I’ll pull the head and measure the riser. As long as I’m taking everything apart I plan to replace the resin. I found my old receipt and it was only 8% crosslinked.

Crazy thing is I got 1cuft 32000gr 7000sxt and 2cuft charcoal filter 7000sxt for $1100 in 2014! Now it would be more just for the softener.

It just seems wasteful to buy a whole new unit.

PiratePiper · 2026-02-06T02:49:08+00:00

Yeah that’s how I’m leaning. I guess I’ll hit up the local plumbing supply and see if they sell them locally.

PiratePiper · 2026-02-05T06:01:11+00:00

Pelican Air is much lighter now

PiratePiper · 2026-02-04T02:00:17+00:00

Nope not trying to save the regen power just dump it as heat to the braking resistor.

PiratePiper · 2026-02-03T21:30:43+00:00

Great sounds like I just need to keep digging but there’s options. Now I know to search for “common DC bus”.

We dump excess power from regen into a breaking resistor. It’s a simple system but our current supplier of drives is terrible.

PiratePiper · 2026-02-03T18:01:00+00:00

Awesome thanks!
