      Pointing out the facts of weather is not "complaining"... It's pointing out a fact and documenting. Just because the rain, wind, and flooding is negative, doesn't automatically mean anyone pointing it out as fact is "complaining". You can interpret facts all you want, but don't put YOUR words into others that aren't there.

FYI, there’s a tunnel for pedestrians that you can take to the outside behind the grandstand where all the apparel is going to be and other activities it’s just left of the restaurant on the Enfield just passed it this way you don’t have to walk through the north tunnel and all the way around Because that’s like over a half a mile walk save yourself a lot of steps by going through the pedestrian tunnel.

    Also, in terms of lithium batteries, I think they like to be down to 40% or 35% and charged up to like 80% so don’t worry about fully charging them all the time when you really don’t need it. Don’t get range anxiety! If you do that kind of bad maintenance, you can get many, many more charges out of them by something like four times to 15 times more cycles.

    Aurora, Tx is 45 miles NNW of Fort Worth. It’s quirk is that a UFO crashed into Judge Proctor’s windmill on his farm in 1897. The sole occupant was killed in the crash. The locals named him Ned, after deciding that he was not from Earth, & buried him in the Aurora Cemetary. There is a small museum there dedicated to the incident, and a pulliver on the highway that overlooks the crash site. The story is told by many videos here on YT.
