Day started out shitty. I came outside this morning and someone had pried the 50 year emblem off the back of my car. In doing so they cracked the rear deck plate that it was mounted on in two places. Fucking people!

You don't keep that beauty in the garage?????
The test drive was insanely satisfying. The cabin is silent, the instant torque makes you all tingly, and the technology all over that car is mind blowing.
I was skeptical of auto pilot but man is it satisfying especially all the other things it does in terms of summoning the car to you and auto park etc.
The guy was patient and showed me all the other things I didn't know and completely sold the wife on it.
Very tempting and like oracle said, bad idea!!

Looks good Ted.
Good job.
Technically though, you are supposed to give your neighbors the good side of the fence and the frame that you mount the boards too is supposed to be on your side.

Well done Ted!!
Screw your neighbors. You put the fence up, you get the good side.

Nah, disagree. It seems to be the new trend that people are doing it the other way around.
Looks great Ted.

From my perspective, why should my neighbor get the good side of the fence if I took the initiative, money, and work to put the fence up.
Give them the posts.

The semi made an illegal left turn and the auto pilot couldn't sense the separation of the white of the semi to the white back drop of the sky at that time and never braked. He basically went under the trailer ripping through the top of the car and then through a couple fences and into a pole. Eek
In...Williston Florida.
Eerie part is he usually used a dash cam and credited auto pilot for saving I'm in a somewhat similar scenario.

(Reuters) - A digital video disc player was found in the Tesla car that was on autopilot when it crashed and killed the driver in Florida in May, Florida Highway Patrol officials said on Friday.
Meanwhile, a lawyer for a truck driver involved in the accident with the Tesla, said his investigators had spoken to a witness who said the DVD player was playing a “Harry Potter” video after the accident, but he was unable to verify that beyond the witness account.
Officials said that a DVD player was found in the Tesla. “There was a portable DVD player in the vehicle,” said Sergeant Kim Montes of the Florida Highway Patrol in a telephone interview.
She said there was no camera found, mounted on the dash or of any kind, in the wreckage.
Paul Weekly of Tampa, the lawyer for the truck driver, said, “As to the video, there was a witness who came to the scene immediately after the accident occurred, and we can’t verify it at this point.
"But what we have been told is that he saw a Harry Potter video still playing when he got to the scene. Again, I can’t verify that.”
The truck driver, Frank Baressi, 62, of Palm Harbor near St. Petersburg, said the impact of the Model S "lifted the trailer up and jolted the heck out of it when he went under it. It sheared the top of the car right off.”
Weekley said that the top third of the Model S was sheared off the sedan while the rest of it went under the trailer and traveled another 700 feet on the road and 200 more feet off the paved surface before coming to rest.
Weekley said the center console of the car was not seriously damaged, meaning that the electronic data recorder, the so-called "black box” for the car, should have been intact. The recorder had been removed from the Model S before his investigators were able to see it, he said.
The fatal crash has prompted a federal investigation of the Tesla’s Autopilot system and has added to the uncertainty over whether the incident could put a roadblock in the way of wider deployment of automated driving systems.

If the neighbors' backyards look like his started, I'm thinking he made the right choice here.

The people that put up the fence on my property before we owned it split the difference: the fence alternates between boards in and boards out all the way around. It's... eh... I guess it's fine. Don't really care one way or the other. Technically if you could do both sides, it's just a shit ton of additional material.

I bought the basics like hammer, drill, level etc. rented 1-2 and borrowed a few from my buddy who owns nearly everything.
