 - site is on k3s!
 - TLS achieved! 
 - I had it with my gitlab and pipelines, but again I decided to not redo gitlab. some kind of interactivity needs to happen though

 My wife and I have been gathering abandoned toys on our morning walks for awhile now, so it should have a pretty good start.
 
+## Finished!
+The box came out more lopsided than imagined, but it works great! It's been about a month and there have been multiple full cycles of toys. I'm thrilled that the community has been accepting of it, and that it hasn't been removed.
