I love it when a good plan comes together

Had an interesting night last night. Got to watch two of my best plans work out perfectly.

First, in the middle of the night, a rat chewed through my fiber internet line. This is the second time that's happened, and after the fiasco that happened the first time, I was better prepared this time, with a backup starlink plugged into my router, ready to automatically switch over to that in the event of a fiber internet outage. It worked perfectly, we only lost internet for a few seconds while it did the switchover, all while I was asleep. I'll get around to fixing the internet fiber whenever I have time, but because of my backup plan working beautifully, there's no rush. It also allowed one of my Ring cameras to record what happened about an hour later…

This bobcat tried to get into my meat chicken run. I didn't catch the whole event on video, so I'm not exactly sure what happened before the bobcat gave up and left, but it proves that my hard work that went into protecting the chickens paid off. This bobcat had no easy way to get to the meat chickens, and eventually decided to go find something easier. Maybe it even got zapped by the hotwire, I don't know. In any case, I was stoked to wake up this morning and discover that multiple crises were averted while I slept peacefully 🙂 I love seeing a good plan work out.

What all have you guys made plans for that ended up working out as good as (or better than) you expected?
