I was hoping to get an aerial shot from a drone.

A friend stopped over today and brought one with. It belonged to the guy's brother, and he hadn't much experience with it yet. I hadn't had any experience with semi-autonomous quadrocopters either.

Combine that with high winds and mostly clouds, and it didn't make for great filming. We only got a couple of half-decent video clips, but at least we didn't crash the drone into anything.

The friend was driving his 2017 Chevy Volt (Gen 2) which we plugged in to the garage. We used his portable (Level 1) EVSE, but plugged it into my NEMA 14-50 (240V) wall connection with a physical adapter. Portable 240V charging!

Electric cars LOVE solar!







I took the Volt for a spin. Nice car! While there, we put about 5 kWh of juice into the volt. The friend made it back home on all electric with a few EV miles to spare.
