Hot and humid.\u00a0\u00a0 Next 5 days too.\u00a0\u00a0 Very hot yesterday.\u00a0 I was careful working, but still got a touch of sunburn and felt a little “off”.<\/p>\n
Did a quick pickup yesterday morning, then headed to my client’s house to finish up the open items.\u00a0 Stopped at my local electronics\/networking\/installer stuff store and grabbed a ubiquiti access point.\u00a0\u00a0 Didn’t realize I was grabbing the heavy duty “long range” mack daddy version.\u00a0\u00a0 That thing will light your hair on fire…<\/p>\n
I was careful to alternate indoor and outdoor tasks throughout the afternoon and evening.\u00a0\u00a0 The late start gave me some good shade to work in, and I work a big straw hat and my cool vest.\u00a0 Even so I fell behind in my hydration.\u00a0\u00a0 When the sweat stops dripping off my nose and eyelids, it’s time to drink some more.<\/p>\n
Got most of the work done.\u00a0 Took longer than it should have.\u00a0 Automagic is great, when it works, and if it works.\u00a0\u00a0 Sometimes it takes a lot of messing around and multiple tries before the magic does its thing.\u00a0\u00a0 That can be very frustrating.\u00a0\u00a0 I fought with adding cameras to the NVR and with adding the WAP to the existing network.<\/p>\n
Upsold the client on three more cams, so I’ll still have money coming in next month.<\/p>\n
Today is my non-prepping hobby meeting.\u00a0 It got moved a week due to a conflict with the venue.\u00a0\u00a0 After that, I’ll do a couple of small pickups, and hit my secondary location to load up some stuff for the BOL.\u00a0 Then it’s home to do yard work so I can get out of town for a while and work at the BOL.<\/p>\n
In the interest of ‘improving’ myself, I will occasionally do something I don’t normally do.\u00a0\u00a0 Reading poetry is one of those\u00a0 things.\u00a0\u00a0 I do enjoy Kipling, and many of the people I read online make sure to mention his poems from time to time.<\/p>\n
A week or two or a few ago I picked up a book at the goodwill ‘bins’ store it was vintage, but not particularly valuable.\u00a0\u00a0 It was poetry\u00a0 by Robert L. Service and a couple bits I read were funny or engaging so I got it for me, even though it wasn’t worth enough to re-sell.\u00a0\u00a0 Imagine my surprise when I was reading along in the smallest room in the house, and I found I recognized something…\u00a0\u00a0 I’ll close today with the last stanza.\u00a0\u00a0 The whole thing is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n emphasis added.<\/p>\n Stack it up.<\/p>\n nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hot and humid.\u00a0\u00a0 Next 5 days too.\u00a0\u00a0 Very hot yesterday.\u00a0 I was careful working, but still got a touch of sunburn and felt a little “off”.<\/p>\n Did a quick pickup yesterday morning, then headed to my client’s house to finish up the open items.\u00a0 Stopped at my local electronics\/networking\/installer stuff store and grabbed a ubiquiti access point.\u00a0\u00a0 Didn’t realize I was grabbing the heavy duty “long range” mack daddy version.\u00a0\u00a0 That thing will light your hair on fire…<\/p>\nIt Is Later Than You Think<\/h4>\n
