Solar panels have been ordered. Soon it will be time to harness the sun. "By the power of Ra" [insert dirty Drum & Bass song]
I was aiming for 1.21 Gigawatts so I could travel back through time.
Unfortunately I fell 1,209,999,475 watts short of my goal, and could only muster a 3 panel system for a total of 525W.

As much as I'd like a "large and in charge" doggo - I'm a wimp, and a big dog would dominate me.
I don't wanna be bullied by a doggo.
I quite like the idea of a 6'4" man walking a micro doggo.

Maybe Boxanne should have a "Framework" laptop:

Reminds me of when my little Yorkie took on my neighbor's Labrador Retriever which was about five times my dog's size. It was a draw, though my dog ended up playfully in the Lab's mouth. Luckily "Captain" didn't bite her.I'm 6'3" and my dog was a 8 inch tall yorkie weighing 4 pounds. I recommend it.Sure people laughed sometimes when they saw us coming but who cares. Just remember that when you have a small dog, you are the dogs guard dog. The roles are reversed, you're the bodyguard. Sometimes you have to fight off other dogs, things like that. It's a job.
But seriously, seeing Yorkies in "attack mode" is simply hillarious. Like a four-footed version of "Yosemite Sam".

I had a look at the Framework site, but I still think I will stick with PC Specialist for my gaming laptop.
I think I will keep my MacBook Pro for photo editing, but also to watch movies on - as the screen quality is unlike anything I have ever seen before on a computer. I also plan to use it like a fancy netbook for browsing, instant messaging etc. Have it side by side to my gaming laptop. A bit like how I use my PC now. Usually gaming in windowed mode, and then a TV show or browser on the other side of the screen.
I'm still really perplexed by what dog breed to get. I will give it a lot more further pondering. Especially as I won't be getting a dog until late 2023 at the earliest. Well, unless I impulse buy/adopt. Which is always a possibility.
Bodyshop has shared some more photos. Primer is on.

Actually it was your earlier comments about PC Specialists that made me ponder this idea of modular laptops. At least there are people in the industry giving greater choices to the market. This is good!
Yes, it does make sense to go modular for sure. Hopefully that's something that becomes the standard for laptops in the future.
With my gaming laptop I'll want it to be future proof and i'll see if I can stretch to a 4080 RTX.
Hell, it really does depend where the mood takes me. Because I've seen Alienware have released an 18 inch laptop once again.
Although, whilst 97WHr battery sounds impressive - when you've got more CPU cores than you know what to do with, super high resolution screen and a chomky GPU. You're going to be eating through battery life. Plus - too many laptops are going integrated with batteries nowadays.
So realistically I will probably go with an older PC Specialist laptop which has a removeable battery, so I can buy a couple of spares.
Another mark against Alienware is that I really dislike their look and design, plus with RGB and all the tomfoolery that gaming computers seem to come with these days. Much like my car projects in yesteryears; I prefer a "sleeper" look.

Just bought a sign for the top rear of Boxanne. Mostly I'm a snail on the road...mostly.
Suddenly?
I'm going to get her remapped so she has as much torque as a '96 Impreza WRX.
Yes, she's more Rubenesque than a Subaru. But torque dirty to me anyway Boxanne...I love it.

Top coat on the cab - how delightfully crisp and shiny.
The bumper looks smart in white.
It's all coming together wonderfully.

Found insurance for Boxanne over £100 cheaper and they specialise in custom vehicles, restorations and conversions.
They sent me a letter asking me to list the full repair history and proof of costs and at least 7 photos for the project. Not only that, but they'll charge me an additional £52 for the pleasure.
No danger. If they want information, I will provide them with a miniature, illustrated, non-fiction novel.
Gather round, it's story time.
