Finished a 2nd #minisplit #heatpump install to heat the living room / kitchen. 18k BTU. Temperature outside has been ~20°F and started snow as I was putting the finishing touches on it. I did mess up a connection by over torquing it and has to #flare it to hold a #vacuum.
Update 2: Unit is in and kicking out way more heat than I anticipated. I set thermostat to 88F (max) and the outlet temp is pushing 104F.
Update #1
#heatpump #installation progress:
[✓]Mounting bracket
[✓]Big hole in wall
[ ]Play in the wet and cold
For those that have done this before, did anyone fill the hole with expanding foam(or other insulation) after lines were ran?

Bike route for Mount Greylock showing 2,805 feet of elevation in 9 miles.
2,805 feet of elevation in 9 miles, up 23% grade looks like a challenge for sure. I don't think I've ever seen a mountain I didn't want to climb to see the view from the top.
Rode #HoosierNationalForest ystrd. #Trailride 22 to 16. Definitely #underbiking on my #laufseigla, but not too bad. 50mm tires were small for wet leaves. Upland brewing pitstop

It's a leaf spring with ~30mm of travel. Great for rough roads / tow paths.

Day 2 #bikepacking started out with some amazing loud wildlife (birds?) I couldn't identify at about 04:30 in the morning. Then a ride to a Danish baker (a must) and some stops along the #LakeMichigan coast.

Milwaukee Wisconsin from a distance while the sun is setting on the bike path south of the city.
More from Day 1 of #bikepacking from the #CreamCity to #WindyCity. Manditory stop at #TheFonz then to an amazing #brewery #exploriumbrewpub to refuel. Riding the lake front at sunset was beautiful. Had nice #gravelbiking in the dark south of city
