Kind of a flash rain today.
Mar. 17th, 2021 10:15 pmKind of was expecting a little longer duration but did get a heavy rain today. Just glanced out the window at my rain gauge and it looks like it is about an inch or so. Haven't looked closer. Maybe tonight before I go to bed. Sky cleared up this afternoon and we had nice blue skies. A bit windy but very moderate temperature. Did turn into a nice day. Going to get cold tonight and be cooler for the next four or five days. Next decent chance of rain is next week on Tuesday and Wednesday. Looks like we are in for a windy day tomorrow and a few days after that.
Finally did get my registration sticker in today. I was just about to leave for an appointment when I saw the mail truck turn down our street. So I waited hoping it would get here today and it did. So, I just very quickly changed it out and now my car is legal to drive and I feel a bit less stress knowing that everything on my car is now up today. I think when I took it in to get it inspected I think they updated the software on my car. I am seeing something on the back up camera that I haven't seen before. Don't know what else changed because I haven't noticed anything else.
Was a good eBay day today. Ordered something late last night so it wasn't included in yesterday's eBay update. I got three things in today. I got my order in from China which were some 12 volt LED light, my masonry bits, and my cushion foam. So just three things outstanding from eBay. And then there is my Overstock order. Going to be just a while before that gets here. Now that I have my masonry bits I am going to drill a few test holes in some spare brick before I drill holes in my brick. Want to get some practice first. Don't have my anchors yet so I can't install my transfer switch. Going to make a mockup of it so I can get everything aligned right before I do drill the mounting holes. The wiring really should be the easy part. Only know a couple of circuits I actually want connected to my generator. One of those is my kitchen for sure. And if it is winter I want my central heat connected. Major load, the refrigerator. The rest of the house outside of the dryer is just lights. Oh, I want my garage as part of it so I can use the garage door opener.
Got kind of lazy as far as house work goes and didn't do any. Still have to sort, fold and put up my whites. Still have them waiting for that.
Minor woodworking. Just cut some pieces of wood to make another version of one previous project. Just a fun LED light project. Mostly just to put my light towers to work.
Got paid my regular pay and I noticed today that I got my stimulus already. Didn't think it would be out that quick. Got paid twice then. Nice to see that and I am sure it is going to help a lot of people.
For project work I built a second version of one of my LED light projects. Better and better spaced and fixed the light diffraction. Also did some work on my third battery module. Got it ready to install and tomorrow I will probably get it installed and start on my fourth and final battery module.
Got some sorting out to do in the garage before I can put my car up. Will do that later. Might go for a drive tonight since I now have my inspection sticker and at least don't have to worry about that.
For viewing pleasure today I watch some more The Curse of Oak Island along with a few YouTube Videos. Given a causal thought to my own YouTube Channel. Of course Fozzy and Twist would be the subjects and stars. Not me. I don't even want to be seen. Just more cat videos but I don't have a clue what I would do or how to edit or make good videos.
Gold has climbed to about the midpoint of $1700 an ounce. Crude has backed away a bit more from its 52 week high. Don't know when gas prices are going to move in line with the drop.
Next Falcon 9 launch is the 20th. Don't see any more scheduled. I wonder if this is the last of the Star Link missions. I know sign up for the service is now open.
Got one junk call today. Maybe got a junk call on my cell phone too. Don't know.
Waiting for a cat to become a lap cat but they both look like they are asleep in the living room.
Think I will go out and sort out the shop. Won't take long.
Got the shop sorted and ready for the car. Might take a short drive before putting up the car.
Went out for a drive. Really, really windy out. I could feel it moving the car around. Put up but not on charge.
Today was Saint Patrick's day.
My outside temperature gauge is inside. Officially it is 58°F and 47% humidity. Quite a bit dryer out tonight.
I think that is going to do it for tonight.
