I am thrilled to report that I was able to complete the first of a series of basic tests that will be completed throughout the build on various components, and the subsystems in which they are involved.

Today’s test was to ensure that the idea was even remotely possible with the numbers that I had worked out many months prior. Without giving away any real information, I was looking for a certain number, but what was achieved was double! Great day to celebrate! Oh look, it seems they’re shooting fireworks to celebrate with me. I can see them perfectly from the patio. How nice! But how did they know?! Were they spying on me?…

Oh. It’s the Fourth of July, you say? American Independence Day, you say? I knew that…my days don’t run together at this point in my business venture, or anything…

God Bless America. (and the rest of the world, too, of course!)
