It snowed at the BOL yesterday! Enough to lightly cover the ground and cars. Wow. In Houston it was right around freezing until after dark when it got down to the mid-20sF. Today will probably stay below freezing in Houston, and maybe at the BOL too. For us, it’s definitely not the Snowpocalypse.
I do sincerely hope that it continues to not be a disaster for most people.

Spent yesterday sitting at my computer. I ended up in hard core work avoidance mode and decided to do a bit of a refresh here. So I spent WAY too long messing with colors to get rid of most of the cyan and vaguely green edge to the blues. I kept the green accents, but might still change them if I find something I like better. Let me know what you think.
There are other things that are suddenly driving me nuts but I think I’ll ignore them. The biggest is the way no two elements line up vertically. Zoom in to a one column view and you’ll see what I mean. Content is more important than looks. And I’ve got a big list of other things to do.

Today I’ll keep monitoring conditions at the BOL, but as long as there is power, it should be fine. I’m really glad I spent the time and money to put all the pex lines inside insulation. I also built a closet around the water heater and all the plumbing in the garage, so it should be warmer in there than the garage proper. I’m a bit concerned about the irrigation system, and the pump, but I did what I could to drain it a couple of months ago. The whole mess needs to be redone, but that is not at the top of my list.
I think I’ll bid a little harder the next time some pipe warming tape comes up in an auction. I can think of a few places it would be handy.

If I get off my butt, I’ll do some more cleaning and sorting here, or at the shop, or I’ll work on networking stuff here. I’ve got the ubiquiti cloud key to install and configure, and a couple of ubiquiti WAPs that should give me better control over DNS and ad blocking than the ATT router and wifi. I might even get a pi-hole set up. If I can find my razberry pi…

There’s something about:
”I don’t know where the color comes from”
that is oddly satisfying.
Isn’t colour something to do with rainbows? It’s all about leprechauns.
Picky, picky: the pale green “submit your comment” button looks a bit bilious against the blue background. The dark green one is less offensive.
Monday. Busy, busy. Wishing you all a good day.
All the color looks good Nick except just below the bottom of the comment box the link to the previous day is a washed out orange. When you float-over it becomes a dark looking red or maybe purple. Not a problem, just ugly.
39F here in the hazy swamp of the San Joaquin valley. No real fog. Subject to change.
