Just wrote the biggest check of my life today and am just waiting for delivery. Sort of a spur of the moment decision from Tuesday that snowballed into reality today. Next I need to find an electrician to install an exterior 240V outlet.

U.S. Voters: Vote early and in person. If you're in a "vote by mail" state and can deliver your mail-in vote directly rather than relying on USPS this year, do it. Democracy Docket has mapped all the places the USPS has slowed mail pickup and delivery […]

[Vidjagames! The grind is real] No material progress in Obenseuer tonight. I made a lot of booze and plate glass and steel, I sold some fish, and I still don't have enough RM to pay off either of the outstanding infrastructure builds on the tenement.
