Good Morning!!!! 52F @ 6:15AM. Some clouds this morning will give way to generally sunny skies for the afternoon. High 74F. Winds N at 10 to 20 mph.
Beautiful fall colors, folks. Not much change here down in the flat lands yet, but the aspens are turning the mountains gold.
Happy hunting, Drew.
In my case, a degree opened doors; didn't use most of the material I was taught, especially the upper level maths and a couple quarters of chemistry. They did show corporate managers I could finish what I started, and could learn, which is how I ended up having three distinct phases of my career. If I could give one piece of advice to a college kid, it would be to stay open to the opportunities that come your way. I can't believe the cost of college these days. Back when gas was fifty cents a gallon, tuition was $220/quarter or $660/year. My parents picked up the tuition, I held part time and summer jobs to pay rent, food, gas, insurance and the rest. I paid them back with interest after a couple years in a corporate job. No wonder there's a shortage of professionals in this country.
RAM dealer kept the van overnight chasing what must be a coolant leak. Service writer called at the end of the day to let me know. It wasn't down much, but anything is too much.
Found a video showing how to fix a sticky door by bending the top hinge. Bent it the wrong way the first try, then got it right. No more slamming that door.
Also got the LED strip lights installed back on the desk credenza. Sure is nice being able to see what I'm doing in there again.
PO had installed a wall switch in the garage using a metal box, then installed another one below it for a wall outlet. Only problem was he didn't use anything to keep the connecting piece of wire from chafing on the box openings. I've a bad habit of leaving that light on. So yesterday I replaced the mess with a double gang box and a smart switch. Didn't have a cover for it, so I hogged out a double gang outlet cover to fit the Decora paddle on the switch. I have a pile of the correct one up north, and will bring them down once I finish up the electrical work there. Added the smart switch to the control software, and included it in the script that runs every day at 6AM to turn everything off.
Tires and tubes for my buddy's bicycle showed up yesterday, so I'll get them mounted today. Tires for my bike should be here today. Each of those tires came in a 3'x3'x2" box; got my money's worth of free Prime shipping on those two.
Tried to find the comet just after sunset last night, but had no luck, even with binoculars. Maybe it's passed?
TGIF gang!
