Cool but clear after some misty drizzle and locally spotty rain.<\/p>\n
As I drove around yesterday I did hit some pockets of very light drizzle and I could see that some areas were getting heavier rain.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 But it was mostly dry for most of Houston.<\/p>\n
Got my errands run, did a bit of work at my secondary, but weather and exertion took their toll, and my back was killing me.\u00a0 When it sends various jabs and pokes, and generally feels like a bundle of glass rods with some cracks and breaks, it’s time to take it a bit easier before I really hurt myself.\u00a0 Getting old and decrepit is a b!tch.<\/p>\n
As a note about how my life works, one of my pickups was three spools of filament for my uPrint 3D printer.\u00a0 Gnu only knows why, but the proprietary support material, and the ABS filament in the original (chipped) cassettes showed up in an auction.\u00a0 ~$15 each, when they sell for over $100 on ebay.\u00a0 Since it’s an old machine, it requires the cassettes and the proprietary filament, which hasn’t been made or sold new in years.\u00a0 It was really great to get some so cheap.<\/p>\n
Plan for today is more stuff around the house, to include prep of the garden beds, but likely NOT planting.\u00a0 Seems we’re going to get a bit more winter before we really get spring, so I’ll keep the little plants where they won’t freeze until the danger passes.\u00a0 I guess my Played the Harry Potter version of Clue for family game night.\u00a0 Really liked it.\u00a0 It solves some of the problems inherent in the game play of the original, and has a couple of neat additions.\u00a0\u00a0 If you like Clue, and are at all fond of Harry Potter, you’ll probably like it.<\/p>\n My ‘rip all the DVDs’ project is continuing apace.\u00a0 27 discs so far.\u00a0 Maybe it won’t be next year before I’m done after all.\u00a0 Next choice is whether to use Plex or something built into windows to serve the streams to appropriate devices…\u00a0\u00a0 No hurry on that though.<\/p>\n Listening to the scanner while I’m in my office doing other things and it continues to reveal the techniques, tools, and limitations that the police and other agencies are working with.\u00a0\u00a0 It also gives me a lot more information about what is going on around my area.\u00a0 By no means is it telling me all that is happening, but it reveals stuff you won’t hear from your neighbors.\u00a0 Listening regularly gives me a baseline too- a sense of operational pace.\u00a0 Definitely recommended.<\/p>\n Information, skills, people, and stuff.\u00a0 You need them all.\u00a0 Get to stacking.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n nick <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cool but clear after some misty drizzle and locally spotty rain.<\/p>\n As I drove around yesterday I did hit some pockets of very light drizzle and I could see that some areas were getting heavier rain.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 But it was mostly dry for most of Houston.<\/p>\n Got my errands run, did a bit of work at my secondary, but weather and exertion took their toll, and my back was killing me.\u00a0 When it sends various jabs and pokes,<\/p>\nlaziness<\/del> busy-ness worked in my favor this time.<\/p>\n
