“Recreating” history during the 82nd Anniversary of D-Day. Hopefully the boys of ’44 got a good laugh out of my landing.

What a fucking day.

So yesterday a water main burst and closed our nearby road. Turning a roundabout into lake.

What I think happened. The electricity that supplies our on site substation that runs our EV charging system comes through a cable thats right by the flood. I'm assuming supply was cut to allow the water to be dealt with.

When power was restored it's blown some breakers in the substation and as a result everything went tits up.

Vehicles didn't get charged. Overhead reels wouldn't retract. First couple of hours involved trying to get a service out, with vehicles with like 20% battery and without destroying any of the many dangling cables. Since then it's just been trying to get some charge into some vehicles to replace the ones dying on the road for long enough to maintain some sort of service until power was eventually restored properly,

Fun day

This is probably the weirdest vehicle that I have seen in my entire life.

So I had a bus and then I built my biggest trebuchet yet and then my plans for the bus changed and I just had to put them together…. Baskets got about 600# of weight. Arm is 16ft long arm is 12 short arm is 4. Throwing bowling balls upwards of 300ft

I saw this outside the Mack museum and found out it’s apparently a bus that was modified to look like a space shuttle for teaching kids about operating in space.
