I'm thawing out some pork belly... cube it up, salt/pepper and then in they go tomorrow.

This puppy is also a dehydrator. Gonna have to find a good beef jerky recipe and test out that feature.

I told the wife it'd probably be 5k to convert the lanai to a sunroom... she says, no way it'll be 10k. She was right.

$10,832 in fact... but I did a little finagling and haggling, and got discounts and such... 8k total, including all permitting and inspection. *big sigh*

Still more than I wanna pay. 🤦

haha, well played indeed.

Fire seems to have sparked back up, the awful smell/smoke is back.

Ah, maaaan. Why would you want to do that? Was looking forward to that lania thing. Why?

Bought a new printer and trying to set it up on my home network. It's an HP OfficeJet All-In-One. Still have a OfficeJet All-in-One 5200 series that I haven't had many issues with it other then scanning and copying using the feed loader thingy lately. One of the wheels to feed the documents slips a bit so the copies and scans are kinda tilted. So, since my other HP didn't give me much problems over the years, I bought a new one of their more modern version.

Franking the HP web site sucks!

They push you to signup with them and make an account with them. I just want the drivers dammit! It took me a few tries and searching their stie just to download the drivers and stuff without all the BS stuff. It's like being on the phone trying to talk with a human or something "press 1 for this, press 2 for that.." but you have to jump online hoops just to find the pure drivers for it without all the crap they want to install.

Rant over.

You can still get the full effect of the "lanai thing". It'll have 6' tall windows that open side to side, from either side... with screens.

The "why" is because the weather is so hot and humid that the lanai is useless half the year or more. This way I can use it year round. When it's hot, I fire up the AC. If it's cool enough, I open the windows.

4-6 months before it actually gets done. Sooner if they can, but I won't hold my breath.

Got a Brother laser printer/copier/scanner thingy from Amazon. Been working like an absolute champ since I got it. I can print to it from my phone if I need to... Was around $100 in 2019.

But I looked and it's twice the price it was when I bought it. Still not bad at $220.

86F/73F 90%RH- with a good chance of 60s at nighttime- later this week.

At the Honda dealership for oil change, rotation, balance, air filter, wipers, brake fluid drain and alignment. Gonna be over $400. Ouch!!!

Dumpster for bathroom remodel gets delivered to our driveway today. Demolition tomorrow and Friday. Ordered the tile, tub and fixtures, all in stock locally. Could be done by end of next week, but I bet it takes a couple days longer.

Nothing else on today's agenda, but a zoom business call tonight.

Dealership rapes you on those air filter installs (engine/cabin). Super easy to do yourself, takes ten minutes, saves a couple hundred... Lots of youtube videos to walk you through the three or four steps.
