    In an attempt to generate copious amounts of electricity from the unrelenting sun I executed this order while the sun enjoyed its perigee at high noon. While the world enjoys the energy crisis perpetuated by oxygen thieves and incompetent governments I'm not afraid to plug and play in nature's infinite wisdom whilst generating some 1,000 times energy consumed in 2009. I can only surmise that the overzealous consumers are also the ones lacking the energy; hence, the feeding off of others. The generators are inversely proportionate to the consumers. Avoid being robbed of such a precious and rare resource. Disconnect yourself from the collective grid and cultivate your own photovoltaic charge.
    Today's theme was one of diminishing return. The amount of energy produced was exponentially taxed in output. With thermal concentrators at about three quarters full, the capacitors discharged at an unsustainable rate. The conversion of sunlight into energy coupled with the rapid loss of heat transfer fluid on the set of 14 pull ups and 21 thrusters did serious damage to the parabolic trough, causing brown outs through the output grid.
    The oppression of the elements has a discernible effect on performance but conversely, if you can endure the worst, anything else is easy.

  4. Glad to see the German connection posting some strong numbers. It would be worth doing again with baseballs though. What doesn't seem like much of a difference is very different. There is a lot to be gained from such a cheap tool. When you pick up the baseballs, you might as well pick up a pair of softballs also. They're even more difficult to hang on to due to the size. The sky is no longer the limit.
