Looks like Coco will have more traffic here. Stuffs collecting fast. We left some outside solar lights and he’s collecting lots of solar panels.

Who designed coco’s hot box panty palace?
You should have added a wheel chair ramp. That front entry with 4 inch stoop is not passable in wheel chair.
You should have added perimeter shaded area, there is not shading of walls to cut heat, there is not outdoor shaded area. That structure needs to be
redesigned to stay cool, and outdoor shade is needed — this is a brutal desert area, eh?
Woke!

Goat, sounds like you should head down with all of your knowledge and building supplies and give him a hand. Nothing better then lending a hand and
helping someone else! I'll send some money for concrete for the patio and ramp. Heck even post some pictures of everything you accomplish while you
are there.

In this case I prefer to stick to providing advice

I still get a little miffed when drivers from the opposite direction fail to reduce their speed to keep the dust down on dirt roads. Those are the
drivers that never wave, either.

Before the new fangled rotary dial phone!

The area in northern CA that I grew up in was slow to adopt dial phones. I am pretty sure that the old phone (no dial, no buttons) is stored in the
part of the basement that I am reluctant to sort through.
Until 1960, if you had a private line, you picked up the hand set and waited for an operator to say "Number please". Then you gave her the four digit
number (ours was 2211).
If you had a party line, you had to wait for whoever was using the circuit to finish their call before you could make or receive one yourself.
If you were a kid goofing around on the phone, an operator would sometimes come on the line, scold you, and threaten to call back later and talk to a
parent!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Elaborate on "goofing around"?

Is your refrigerator running? Yes that one has been around since the late 50's.....or so I am told. I was always a good boy!

Do you have Jim Bean in a bottle? We were bad boys. We built a board with diodes and dozens of clips. We would take that board into the basement of
apartment buildings in Yonkers NY at 2AM and interconnect all the phone lines then we would call the operator and curse at her. She would call back
and everyone's phone rang. It was a hoot listening to the resulting confusion with our handsets. We were epic phone freaks.

AK,
The “Sutter 1” central office near Stanford still had the original vertical mechanical steppers, not even the “new” rotary steppers until
into the ‘60s! GTE never meant “Great Telephone Equipment”!

With wifi, coco could put up a web cam for 24/7 video feed of his panty collection...
Knuckle draggers would cream over that.

Goat,
Coco could raise a lot of go fund me money by doing just that or telling stories! He’d probably get some famous autographed panties too!
The Knuckle Draggers will inherit the earth! They’re the ones who have kids!

I lived in Asia in the early 90s and had one of those little black boxes that made buzzing and clicking noises and somehow allowed you to call
internationally free. Had no idea what it was doing, but it worked just fine for a few years.
I would have enjoyed knowing what it was actually doing.

Rocky,
That box was a demonstration that in-band non encrypted signaling is a bad idea! Those tones were in-band signaling and you could do some amazing
things with them!
The Telcos fixed it! Now you need to hack their computer system to get free stuff!

for a few years in the 70's if you could whistle a perfect C you could make free 800 calls
