Rain n fog here. 35 and people driving like it's ice. I encountered zero ice. Took 40 minutes to get home. Normally the drive home is 15.

Even the boys bus was 20m late this morning. Right after wife said we're gonna have to drop him off, we heard the air brakes on his bus at the stop sign up the street.

75 already, scattered clouds and sun. Feels nice.

Might have to take ol' Tank for another stroll this afternoon. I did the weights, but skipped the cardio today. Chest/Tri's kicked my arse. Went to Publix and got some chicken tenders and ate one before I got to the truck.

Had a protein shake at home... chocolate powder (1g sugar per serving 30g protein) blueberries, strawberries and half an avocado. Talk about tasty!

Finally feeling about 85% better, off to pick up a toilet at HD. It's the last piece I need to pick up for a 2x bathroom remodel starting next week. I really hope the contractor rememebers that we need one working and accessible toilet... I can see them installing a toilet, then putting new tile around it and telling us to stay off the tile for 24 hours. How the hell do I get to the toilet if I can't walk on the floor???

The annual fight with the palm trees is imminent and made sooner since the painters are coming early February. Any shrubbery near the house walls and backyard block walls need to be trimmed back. Time to get out the kevlar suit.

Freezer finds are the best...

BTW, toilets weigh 100 pounds and come in large awkward boxes. That was fun.

With 19 years of benefits and future life-time benefits at stake, I hope you have consulted with a lawyer face to face in his or her office. If not, this needs to be done at once- unless you already have. You should not attend any exam or communicate ANYTHING to VA without a legal consult.

Errands have been run.

Had 5 20lb propane tanks that needed filling. 2 were out of date so I had to exchange them. $25 for 15lb exchange. $15 for 20lb fill at the propane place. The Amerigas location a few towns over no longer recertifies residential cylinders so just gotta exchange em and try to find the most recent date codes on the collar.

Bulb burned out in the fridge. Asked wife if she checked for bulbs in the cabinet, she said there are none. Went to Menards and bought 2, opened the cabinet where we keep the bulbs and found 2. Replaced the one in the fridge.

Only slept 3 hours after work today so I can hopefully flip around and sleep at night/be up all day.

I tried to get my start date to change for new job but they said it can't fall in the middle of a pay period. If we could move it up by one week it would be perfect. Leave for vacation and just don't come back. And the way the schedules post nobody would see that I was leaving. I don't want my coworkers giving me hugs and stuff. But the way it is I come back from vacation the day the new schedule posts and then have to work 4 days in current department. Someone's gonna figure it out.

Flood watch here.

It was 3 degrees day before yesterday and we had about 8 inches of snow on the ground.

Last couple days upper 40's to low 50's. Snow melted. Now they're calling for 1.5 inches of rain in the next 36 hrs and another half inch or so on Saturday.

Owner of the company I work at took my advice and wants to buy a upgraded 3D printer to print out small models and prototypes. Just small stuff - about 10 inches in size. Primarily just to see prototypes that you can touch and feel as opposed to what you see in the 3D models on the computer screen and to make handout stuff when he does his furniture shows/conferences.

I think is a good idea. Try it on the computer models, print out a small prototype and make adjustments there before you invest in a life size mold and stuff. Even small printed models don't replicate the real world but try to iron out the bugs in the design phase before committing to a full scale model.

Untimely he'd like to 3D print full sized stuff rather than casting and molding stuff. I think he's shooting for the stars but sometimes dreams become reality.

Since researching and learning about 3D printing, I want one myself.

Do I have a need for one? Nope.
Would it be neat to have one to play with? Yep.

Get you one, they are a lot of fun, you can make art, useful stuff, and things that burn powder after adding some metal parts.
