Raining and cooler, but still wet. Probably. I hope not, because I have a pickup to do, but them’s the breaks. It was rainy to start yesterday, then cleared into a nice day, before turning rainy again late. We had all the weather yesterday. And we might get it all again today.
I started my day with office stuff, then pickups. Did a quick pass through the bins, then home for batteries for my tools, then to the shop to break down the two new lappy carts, and some wheeled bases I thought I might reuse. Decided I’d rather have the money so I added them to the scrap run. I did pull the casters for reuse or sale.
While I was breaking down the carts, it rained from a clear blue sky. For a little while anyway. Weird but not unknown here.
Got the truck loaded for scrap, trash, and loaded the drywall cart for my first pickup today. I won an 86″ monitor for $30. It looks like it’s cracked, but upon closer examination, I’m pretty sure only the touchscreen is cracked. I’ll pull that off and be sure. If there isn’t anything to protect the real screen, I might order a sheet of “anti glare” film and install that into the touch panel frame. I’m hoping the TP is just installed in front of the normal screen surface.
An 86″ commercial display is heavy and very awkward to handle. A drywall cart makes it doable for one person to move it around. I’ll roll it on my ramp to get it in the truck. I have a folding wheelchair ramp that is 6ft long and perfect for getting stuff into and out of the pickup truck. No pickup if it’s raining though.
D1 is still feeling poorly so she’s home from school. D2 “exempted” out of her final tests in all classes today (grades high enough) so she’s home too. I do have to get her to a Dr appointment for a new school physical for ‘sports’. Stay at home dad duties today as well as pickups.
Anything else I do will depend on the weather. I’m sure I’ll do something. Even if it’s just stacking.
