Installing heat trace on pipes in a hot attic feels a bit like torture.
But at least now they're less likely to freeze and burst.

Oh heck yeah - tickets purchased!
It is HARD to get tickets to #emfcamp, but if you volunteer or talk at the previous one, you typically get a guaranteed ticket (I did both).
If you've never been, my advice is to submit a talk! An accepted talk is also a guaranteed ticket, and I don't think you can find a friendlier audience.

Sometimes what *should* be a simple and straightforward job ends up being way more difficult than it should be.
In a (vain?) attempt to quiet my very loud backup generator ahead of a planned 6-hour power outage, I decided to put a new muffler on it.
The part I was worried about (the flange) fit fine, but the support bolt took a jack and two prybars to get lined up enough to fit in place.
Whee!

IMPORTANT #RODENT NEWS: They can throw up.
Was reading about #squirrel behavior yesterday and came across this 2025 paper: "Observation of a grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) suggests that some rodents can vomit"
Rarely have I been so convinced by a paper just from Fig 1.

If this act doesn't involve human-sized dancing Furbies, then either:
A) Eurovision will be dead to me
or
B) Hasbro is lame
