Cool and partly cloudy, with a chance of rain later, but who really knows? Yesterday started a bit warmer, got to be very nice, and stayed warm until about 1 am. Then the wind which was gusting and variable got a chill to it.<\/p>\n
I started the day by finishing up the starlink install. I dressed the cable and ran it into the house. We put the base station on a little shelf in the main part of the house. I’ll move it to an equipment closet later, when I put the rest of the stuff in place. Works good enough where it is, and is out of the way. It’s all planes and angles, like the cybertruck, and each piece runs hot to the touch.<\/p>\n
I spent the rest of the afternoon installing the door between the garage and the house. It was just 1\/8 th inch too big, but that made the job a lot harder. While I was there anyway, I added a bunch of reinforcement to the jamb. Got it installed and tuned up, but need to get the threshold and trim back in place.<\/p>\n
Had a nice dinner, played several games, and had a fire on the dock to end the day. Not much activity on the bands, and the sky was black but mostly cloudy, so we just enjoyed roasting some Peeps ™ over the fire. <\/p>\n
Wife, kids, dog, and inlaws head home later today. I’ll be here for a while working the list. I’ll admit that I miss the quiet time when the house is full. Which is dumb, because the whole point of how I’ve organized my life is to be with the kids and family. Adding the inlaws changes the dynamic and it’s a lot more noisy and a lot less fun.<\/p>\n
I’ll be finishing the door, and working on the list for the rest of today. Which things get addressed depends on my mood, and the weather. <\/p>\n
Always be working to improve your situation, and stack. Whatever you need, stack it.<\/p>\n
