This Avion has a weird kind of camouflage.⁠ ⁠

This Avion has a weird kind of camouflage.⁠
⁠
The anodized aluminum shell may be satin silver on its own, but it will also take on the hue of whatever light it's in. ⁠
⁠
It makes sunsets even more colorful but still fails at any attempt we may make at being low-key.⁠
⁠
Then again, that's ok. We like answering people's questions.⁠

In the winter, temperature matters in ways beyond

In the winter, temperature matters in ways beyond just comfort. Chris and I can shiver away without too much concern, but our lithium batteries are not so lucky.

Freezing temperatures can cause permanent damage. So we keep a close eye on them this time of year.

That said, they tend to be perfectly fine, thanks to the heat generated by our inverter.⁠

Farewell Superstition Mountains! It’s time to move on. But things won’t get any warmer from here…

I’m not sure if I could technically say I photobombed this video or not, but I feel like I don’t quite belong in the middle of all this.⁠
