Dentist Visit
I had a visit at 8am this morning, not a great way to start the day, I need crown/caps on two molars way in the back so they basically have to invert you and drill while spraying water down your throat. I think that’s as close to water boarding that I care to get. I…

Break From the Heat
It’s half way through October and we’re finally going to get a break from the heat. The high tomorrow is supposed to be 70 which is 25 or so degrees lower than it was today. It’s always so hot down here that the standard dress is shorts and a t-shirt. I’m not even sure that…

Main Floor Laid
So the floor is laid except for the last row and closet. I’ve been thinking about it and I’m having to remove the frame around the doors and closet but it doesn’t seem to be that hard. I also need to get the table saw out of the shed. And out of the box now…

Loserboys in Loserville
It’s hard being a Cowboy’s fan. As fan would be short for fanatic, I’m not one. But I do like them better than any other football team so even though I’m not a Cowboy fanatic, I don’t like to see them lose, and it’s even less fun to watch them get slaughtered like they did…

Recovery Day
Evidently, crawling around on the floor pounding planks together is a young mans game. I’m a bit sore so I told the home owner that the project would be delayed until I felt like getting back to the job. He didn’t seem to mind at all. I got back to studying the docker class and…

RAM Acquired
I generally have maxed out the random access memory to all my computers since it’s about the easiest way to increase performance. But I realized that my main Linux box had 24 Gb of RAM. 2 x 8 and 2 x 4, so mismatched and missized memory and I was wondering why I was having…

More Floor
We’re about 66% with the floor, probably a little more but the hard part of cutting it in is coming up so we’ll see how that goes. Also started a docker course to finally get to the next level with that. And it looks like I have a seasonal gig that should end by the…

Flooring Started
The floor is going down. I got 3 of 8 boxes down. As this is my first attempt at this snap together flooring, I have to say I’m pretty impressed. You basically hammer it together and it’s free floating. It’s taking me a bit of time because the saw is in the garage but I…

Front End Alignment Complete
As the title says, the front end alignment is complete. It wasn’t that far out of whack but it’s good to know that it’s now in spec. Pippa has gone home, I’ve never seen an animal so happy to see their human. It’s a good thing that makes me smile. The cats, again, have free…

Xterra Suspension Finished
After yesterday’s debacle, I took it easy and finally got the bolt out of the passenger side and got it replaced. I was going to hold off on the driver side until I got the new impact gun but they had deep well metric 1/2 inch impact sockets and an adjustable breaker bar both on…
