Post Every Boring Aspect Of Your Mundane Life Thread

Bought a small hose clamp at Home Depot for my nitro cold brew experiment with a soda siphon and a stout tap.

Where are the boring and mundane photos?  Slacker....

Yakster

I can do that.  I'm calibrating the impeller exhaust fan on my roaster right now.



Went to Target a while ago with the family and my daughter's phone battery was dead so I took a photo of these salt and pepper shakers for her.



Here's a picture of a hose clamp. This isn't the one that I bought today at Home Depot but a larger one that was in a bag in the garage near my roaster. Makes a decent cigar rest.

Dat hose clamp......

Updating my roaster's firmware.

Updating my roaster's RoasTime application software.

Success, this cleared up the problem I was having with not being able to display the info panel.

Pre-Heating the roaster to roast a batch of Kenya Kirinyaga.

You flying that thing, or just along in case the fix you did fails?

I think that if the fixers know they are going up on a test flight they probably are going to do the job right....

I think I could use that update.

@Patrickbrick,  I  just go along to see if what we were working on repeats and what was happening when it did.  We can also do some troubleshooting in flight on most systems that we can't do on the ground.  This one was for a very intermittent problem that only showed up every few flights and only at the end of the flight.  Couldn't get it to fail on the ground.   Didn't fail in flight this time either.

Washed the herf dog.

More pressure washing of the driveway next.

The unwritten industry standard is if you won't put (yourself, mom, wife, daughter) on board, it ain't right.

Finished pressure washing the driveway, moved the tent trailer over, had some lunch and am watching Mindhunter with the Wife.

I seasoned the smoker, played with Juliette and picked Colleen and Abigail from the hospital.  Now it's family time.

But did you die?  Dibs on your beer, just in case...

If the names spelled the same you should try calling in dead to work tomorrow

My daughter got her license a while ago.  That's not boring.  Hair raising.  Scary.  Not boring.

She's got a couple babysitting jobs and other such things to earn income, but with school starting she needed a car so I wouldn't have to shuttle mom to and from work. It'll also make it easier for her to find a real job.

So my Saturday was spent car shopping after a lot of research of what was in the area used.  We did end up buying one.

Tuesday, I'm wrapping up a meeting and I get a phone call.  Flat tire.  And she's lost.  Took a wrong turn somewhere and hit a PA pothole in the middle of the city.

Wednesday afternoon spent getting a new tire.

Why did I buy her a car?

Patrickbrick

Going to get wood, lots of wood.  Then get smoker going and more family time.
