Spring 2024 is Here

Summertime is over and Spring is here This Spring I will be pushing hard for a clean and clear yard. All of the dead spots have been treated and seeded for spring growth. The vast majority of the rest of the property has been spot treated for the removal of noxious invasive weeds that have been blowing over from the next yard over. Moving for the next two weeks there will be spot removal of the rest of the growth that has not been kept in check.

After a little surfing around reviews and thinking over my use case I decided that I would like to have the two prong SAE option and the clamp option to set up for my use case. Here is how I did it.

We took all of the components of physical camp and made digital equivalents. This move worked fairly well for many items but where we had the least success is where we started with a real world activity and tried to convert it to the virtual environment.
