Welcome to another #project. I've done these before, but they are straightforward and enjoyable. #Craigslist Refurbishing a free #patio #sling #chair!

launch at 9:09pm PDT. Err. I mean, -- AFB. More satellites (meaning either better Internet or more junk flying around blocking your view of space, depending on who you are). These were more enjoyable before the dude running that company revealed his true nature.

Hmm, I am about to be reamed by people who are offended by my use of the word "lazy". Sigh. Instead of blocking them all I'm deleting my reply.

Wow, they've turned the clearly defined exit roads into 25 lane freeways there at trying to not drive in the . Looks like a mud gauntlet here caused everyone to widen out the road https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6INIzHP3Q-o

House is now almost 100% wired for CAT6, ready for drywall. Almost every room with a drop. Will do the termination once everything is painted. Lemonade out of lemons...

Why do I get the feeling I need to war drive around the neighborhood to find all the Wi-Fi enabled ovens in the neighborhood, and then run some vulnerability scanners on them?

thought through my head recently: what to use or make which is minimally scented... as a I find are extremely sensitive to perfumes in hair/soaps/etc. and it's better to minimize scented soaps, etc. The "whatever random stuff is on sale" default here (I am not the shopper, typically) is not ideal. (Update: Looks like I am going to try to make Castile soap, which is made out of olive oil. I have all the supplies and ingredients needed here, LOL).

Unauthorized wandering around , fire department is asking people to contact law enforcement if seen. Apparently driven by two heavily tattooed guys without shirts 🤔

I really need to learn how to weld. However, if I did weld, I'd be that strange guy with all kinds of random metal object sculptures in the front yard. 🤪 Really, just need to find some second hand equipment (based entirely on YouTube videos, not much different than soldering... except on a much larger scale)

Apparently there was an accident going from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, and everyone followed Google Maps (and either got stuck or destroyed their car offroad) 😂 (h/t @barkflight)

Fixed my receiver, hopefully- switched to a beefy AudioWind DC to DC regulator to go from 12V to 5V supply for the - prior converter seemed unreliable.

So far, it appears you can be a "Feng shui" expert by making up whatever dang thing you want and writing it down. Also, they believe in ghosts.

Personal plumbing disaster (busted pipe on the second floor) blessings and lessons (so far, send tips):

  1. Blessing/lesson: the pipe broke in the second floor, but did NOT get all the computers below (amazingly). Except a couple of Toughbooks got wet, but they should be fine, lol. Could have been bad. Need to make sure to put equipment off the ground and (probably) with some kind of cover on top or in a cabinet.
  2. Pull the pictures off the wall before they start peeling themselves off by themselves.
  3. Need a secondary ad blocker/pihole installed elsewhere, was out of commission because I had to run the machine out of the dripping room.
  4. Sleeping with blowers/dehydrators, impossible.

achievement unlocked. This cyclist went to the market. This cyclist did not stay home. This cyclist bought arugula and butter. This cyclist put it on the new rack and pedaled (wee! wee! wee!) uphill all the way home.

temporarily mounted. Attempt to reduce sunlight hitting one side of the house during these heatwave, and to maybe make that side of the usable in the morning.

25 feet tall! Agave appears to be preparing to bloom. I wonder if I could turn this into a radio antenna.
