Mar. 28th, 2021

Cloudy and a bit cooler today. I don't think it ever really rained but more just like kind of intermittent sprinkled. Don't recall anything much heavier than that. Watched the radar but the rain never really seemed to get here. Haven't checked my rain gauge today so I don't really know if we got any decent amount of rain. I did empty it before today. So any rain in there fell today. Nothing really impressive with rain chance in the near future. Both Tuesday and Wednesday do have a higher than normal chance of rain though. Looks like the 70's are going to get scare and then end completely. It looks like in the course of this forecast I will be turning on the air conditioner.

I just want this day to be over. Like so many before it. Go to bed and sleep and not be here. Tired tonight.

I was a bit surprised because I did get something delivered today. Not an eBay item but my wood that I ordered. Never got any notice that it had shipped but it showed up at my door today. Heavy too. I haven't opened it to see exactly what I got though. I did order some more 2.1 mm power jacks from eBay today. I use them for just about all of my projects. Used my last one yesterday so time to order more. Slowly clearing all of my orders. Still haven't gotten my mailbox post in. I have seven outstanding eBay items and I might get one in on Monday.

Feels warm in my office although the temperature gauge says it is just 77°F. The outside temperature gauge says it is about 53°F with 87% humidity. Officially it is 54°F with 84% humidity. A bit cooler than last night.

Well, let's check in on the gold and crude markets. Gold trading range hasn't changed much of any. Crude has fallen back even more. The stuck ship doesn't really seem to be boosting oil prices. At least for west Texas Intermediate. Gas prices have dropped about 4 cents to $2.55 for the few stations that I do check.

Nothing much in the way of housework today. Dishes are still in the dishwasher and no laundry work. Mostly I spent today on project work getting my FM raspberry pi to work. And it was a fail. Just could not get it to work regardless of what I tried. I think the module might be bad. Got two more on the way. I will try those. I should look up what the error codes mean. Anyway the coding in the software is way above my head. Can't really seem to find another good python FM radio code.

Took a break and went for a drive. Getting out of the house. Late night drive helps.

Finally figured out what I was doing wrong to get my Raspberry Pi FM radio to work. It can't be run from the python shell. It has to be a command line run. Once I figured that out it works fine. Want to modify it some. That is going to be trial and error as I don't really know much about python. That was my project work.

For woodworking I finished installing the hinge on my Blanket chest. It is very heavy now with the top and bottom installed. Don't want to move it much. Now I can actually start to put things in it. Got to find some things to put in it. Plenty of storage in it. I also mounted my phone to the wall. So both of those projects are now done. Didn't do anymore on my dresser today.

My HEB delivery order is coming in tomorrow at 2:00. Added items last night but can't think of anything else to add tonight.

I have a dental appointment on Tuesday.

Fozzy is my lap cat at the moment. Can be so soothing to have a lap cat.

Viewing pleasure today was only YouTube Videos. I did look at LOL Cats. Always look forward to that.

Still looking at April 7th for the next Falcon 9 launch.

Tonight is a full moon but it is cloudy. Not much chance of seeing it tonight. The fog was starting to roll in as I was out for my drive. Well the hourly forecast says it is clear outside. I might take a look then before going to bed.

I think I will go outside and check on the moon and I think that is going to do it for tonight.
