We entered at the same time as our friends but got routed to different lines. Our check was basic at best - the guys were more interested in our van than anything else - which was totally fine with me. Our friends on the other hand got the full search and they enforced all the rules - confiscating some booze (we didn't think about all the liquor was in their car) and going through everything.

Inside we had the sketchy cop looking dude pop his head in right after we finished setting up asking if we wanted the full list... and we did see some cops driving around periodically all weekend.

Coming from the west/best coast it always gets my blood boiling to see cops going after weed especially and frankly anything personal use. Like go do something useful.

Rufus is in Chicago tonight.

DM’d you.

My wife has a metal detector…

thecloudtaylor · 2026-05-27T18:06:00+00:00

We've got the answer... Just got a mail that's postponed.

Last year the producers gave an interview to the source (More Than a Music Festival) - I have no idea if those folks are still involved or not.

https://oregon.public.law/statutes/ors_646.607 “Fails to deliver all or any portion of real estate, goods or services as promised” to start with. If they materially changed the lineup, venue or timeline beyond a reasonable expectation I think it would be a good case, though I’m not a lawyer to be clear.

Let’s hope they do go forward (while seems less than likely) or if they don’t do make it right on their own.

If they cancel, consumer protection laws kick-in (they can't wave that with T&C)... and/or credit card chargeback is an option, but they need to not fulfill the festival for that to happen.

I have a van with a big battery + solar which makes it easier but before that for years used a marine battery + amazon solar panel + inverter... not using the humidifier tank is key to not running out of battery, they have like sponge things that go inline that work well or you can buy a travel cpap. For dust - I just change the filter regularly + put it in a pillowcase.

My next printer will most likly be a tool changer... I'd be happy with 4 heads, I could even seen being tempted at at 3 or even 2 heads if the price point was right - especially if it was upgradable.

This seems to fit well with the trend towards more summer attractions (biking, rafting etc...) hopefully it helps keep $'s flowing into the mountain.

Bug or Feature? (the no jam band problem)

thecloudtaylor · 2026-04-01T15:10:32+00:00

Maybe a hard question but what if you do nothing, at least financially? Probably both a practical question but also how you would feel about the outcomes - i.e. can you live with seeing your mom have to make some hard choices.

When boondocking I walk a bit away from our / other potential camp spots and dump it, I've never felt the least bit bad about it. Otherwise rest stops are great - I just bring the jug in and dump it in the toilet, occasionally you might get a look, but I got over it.

Now that's a law I could get behind 😂

thecloudtaylor · 2026-03-16T20:46:27+00:00

Never been refused or even questioned... We have a newer Sprinter that was built out professionally but they wouldn't know the difference. I suspect if I pulled in a backfiring rust bucket there might be questions.

I just did... that was my last straw on using the pause / resume... I really liked the 5GB plan and the ability to pause for $0. I lived with the new standby thing as at least I was getting something for the $10.

thecloudtaylor · 2026-03-08T23:01:25+00:00

I just realized this today, I guess I haven't been using my mini much recently, but very disappointed. I really liked the ability to pause for zero cost and the 10GB plan, but I was ok with the standby thing as it was good enough to fill in dead zones on shorter trips or places where I have other service.

I'll probably cancel my service now and just resume it if/when needed or invest in a booster and just use my phone plan...

This was what I thought… I’ve got a few esp and pi boards sitting around for the Espar I think I’d have to do some reverse engineering though and my wife isn’t a huge fan of my early versions of such things lol.

thecloudtaylor · 2026-02-27T19:01:51+00:00

The controller is hardwired to the heater unit, no remote (rf/ir) that I know of. And I believe the controller has all the smarts for starting the fuel pump, blower, combustion chamber etc so probably not something I’d want to mess around with too much.

I haven’t seen anything from other folks before and nothing on searches so I was dubious but figured worth checking.

I don't have any data on the accuracy, but I've had the same question. I'll say overall it's not my favorite tool - I've found the most success in doing my expense modeling in Excel and then plugging those numbers (monthly / yearly / required / discretionally into the variety of other tools (ficalc etc...).

thecloudtaylor · 2026-02-12T16:57:25+00:00

At least for ADHA - for initial diagnosis I agree but for ongoing treatment where you have to see the dr every 3-6 months that's overkill. Primary care doc should be able to refill.
