Day: January 10, 2025

Fri. Jan. 10, 2025 – doesn’t feel like we’re only 2 weeks in…

Cold and wet. Probably still raining. It started with a light drizzle in the afternoon, and continued all night. Temps rose a bit, then fell to mid 30s F. I don’t think we got near freezing though. I expect the suck to continue.

I had a fairly productive day yesterday for all that I didn’t get done. I did two loads of laundry and started a third. Did some cleaning and putting away, but didn’t get anywhere near done. I was in both attics stacking decor. I even got the leaf blower and blew out the whole house. It’s amazing how much hair, dust, and little bits of paper will accumulate, and how much better it looks when that mess is gone. You can’t even really see it, but you are aware it’s there.

I spent the longest part of the day doing electronic troubleshooting on the thing I want to put on ebay. I REALLY want it to work as that will double the value. I was hoping for a configuration error on my part, but my wife was able to rule that out, mostly. We did find some indication that there might actually be a hardware problem at the root of all the unrelated issues. I’ll talk to tech support today. Hopefully they can point me to the solution, and maybe I’ll even spend a bit on repairs if it’s not too much. It’s older gear but well supported. Wife has some diagnostic tools at work that she can bring home too. I normally don’t pull her into my reselling, but she’s got the experience, and it’s worth a couple thousand dollars more if it works. That kind of money is worth spending some effort…

Today will be more of the same. Clean, put away, work on getting stuff ready for ebay (and out of the living room, toy room, and kitchen). Maybe I’ll even get some other stuff done. There will likely be more domestic bliss too.

Not sure I’ll stack anything today, but I will be working on stacks. Some days that’s enough.
