Twenty-five years after 9/11, social media apparently decided it was time to drag every theory, unanswered question and old argument back out of storage.I remember the day a little differently than most people: I was listening to a shock-jock radio show at work and genuinely thought the first reports were part of a bit. That leads into a much bigger conversation about 9/11, conspiracy culture, the questions that never went away and why I'm perfectly comfortable saying I don't know exactly what happened.Before we get there, the cabin update explains why progress has felt painfully slow.This summer has been relentless. I finally compared the numbers with recent years, and the sustained heat isn't just in my head. That has meant shorter work sessions, worrying about the dogs in the RV if the AC fails, and even sticking my overheating phone in a portable refrigerator so I could finish recording a solar video.That new solar video led to another realization.Most advice tells you to calculate your electrical loads and then design the solar system you need. But what happens when reality gives you the system constraints first?An RV roof only has so much room. Batteries weigh what they weigh. Budgets aren't unlimited. And at the cabin, I already own the solar panels—so I'm designing outward from what I have.Sometimes the theoretically “right” way isn't the way the real project works.We also get into an overpriced sliding porch-gate idea, Starlink after four years on the road and off grid, a Bitcoin deal from Cash App, the continuing mystery around Mitch McConnell, and a supposed local crime problem that turned out to involve a lost puppy.Basically, a normal Monday.Links mentioned in this episode:DIY Solar Hub:https://thelotsproject.com/solarFour-Year Starlink Review + Referral:https://thelotsproject.com/starlinkCashapp Referral Link: https://cash.app/refer/CZ4QSJSFood Forest Farms:FoodForestFarms.comCode LOTS10 saves 10%.Telegram:https://t.me/LOTSChatAmazon Shop:https://amazon.com/shop/thelotsprojectSome links associated with The LOTS Project are affiliate or referral links.
