I've been working on my Automatic Chicken Coop Door Project a lot lately and found myself monitoring light levels with PST and my laptop. Sitting out by the coop, I didn't have a good way to hold my laptop up high enough for the USB cable to reach the PropBOE inside the coop. So... my solution was a custom mount on the coop for my MacBook Pro! You can't just go buy something like this at the store. :D

    The only things I hate are al-Qaeda and cauliflower.

    I've been to Belgium, their bathrooms have the best spouts anywhere. All chrome and twinkly.

    Lol, I read that this morning and never even noticed. Must be that "early morning haven't had my first coffee" syndrome.

    LOL - I too was in need of coffee at the time. It was too early on a Sunday to see clearly.
