Scored a pair of SRX210H firewalls from eBay. One is PoE, the other standard. Updated and ready to go. They also came with the nifty ears that hold the power supply.

The BIAB brew stand is mostly complete. This is a mock up of brew day to see that everything fits. I added a loop to the fence so that the tarp could be secured.

Messing with these graphical displays, only problem is they use nearly all the IO on an ESP8266-12.

Tried out a new water bath setup for slow cooking ribs. They turned out fantastic! The ribs sit on mesh trays which are sitting on baking trays with water in them.

Garden light #4 failed. It looks as though I fitted a 25V cap instead of a 35V cap on the rectified AC side of the power input and it got pretty unhappy.

Started re-capping the board in the TDS-540 Oscilloscope. Hopefully this will allow it to pass the self-tests. This is a common issue with these scopes. A very tedious process though, but getting through it. The solder they used is pretty stubborn, so I've got the iron up at 350 celcius.

Oops. Connected to 24VAC instead of 12VAC. The ESP8266 survived but from there back is toast!

Gave the rotisserie a second go with charcoal again. Turned out great!
