    Removed some of the original wirering in my garage. I disconnected it soon after I moved in. Cleaning the garage today.

    That splice wasn't in a box or even taped. Only the wire nuts had tape.

    I helped a buddy do some remodeling in his house, and we found a few cases similar to that. And the prior owner, who did the work, claimed to be a Master Electrician. Yeah, a MasterBating Electrician, maybe.

    Got a bad flat on the way to work this morning. The place I was at was way too busy to change it there. Fortunately I was only about a mile from work so I limped it there and then changed the tire. The tire is trashed now. Fortunately I have a good spare.

    Did grocery shopping on the way home from work. Got home to a broken elevator. My son and I made one trip up three flights of stairs. I left the bag of canned goods in the truck for tomorrow.

    It's been a really bad birthday so far. Hopefully my special occasion smoke burns properly.

    Sold this game on eBay for $20 that I got a goodwill for $2. Turns out my daughter thinks old board games are possessed.

    The obstacle is the way.

    Watching an oddly addictive mindless web cam, good for stress reduction.

    Don’t know, don’t care yet. Anything but what I do. I submitted my resignation Wednesday, my last day is October 11th. I’m happy, and actually getting some sleep

    What did you do at the job you just resigned from?

    In short, too much.

    Went to fill up my carboys with water and pick up pizza for dinner only to find that they gave my pizza to the DoorDash driver.

    That's good, Edward. Much improvement after?

    Greatly improved, she has ditched her prescription driving glasses, her TV-watching glasses and just uses weak drugstore readers for close up work and computer. I hope your vision improves too. I'm thinking about the same but have some other med issues to attend to this year.

    I had them correct my vision in the left but had them leave the right (my dominant eye) uncorrected. Shouldn't need anything but cheaters for my phone and computer work.
