Lazy morning so far this morning. My wife and I really like the TV series Cobra Kai and season 3 appeared on Netflix last night. We had nothing much planned for the evening and ended up binge-watching the entire series. I don't think I've ever watched an entire series, end-to-end, like that before.

Today I plan to write some code. I've been meaning to do it for a few days now but been busy hunting and sealing drafts. Now I've got to a convenient pausing point in the draft hunting I can do some other stuff. There's more to do where hunting drafts is concerned - I can see an area that has more drafts - but getting at them is tricky as there's a load of stuff I'd need to cover, move, or otherwise protect before I start pulling down more ceilings. Without pulling down some of the ceiling I won't know whether any of the affected ceiling is above a built-in cupboard. If it is that makes things far more complex, as I'd need to empty the cupboard (which is full of things moved from other work spaces).

The next rooms scheduled to be rebuilt include the room directly above where I've been hunting drafts and the adjacent room. Once those are done I can move some stuff out of the cupboards and into those rooms. It will be good to have some more finished space, so I can gain a little more movement with things that need to be moved out of harm's way. I'm also really keen to gut and fix up the guest bedroom as I know there are a few issues with the wall there, but need at least one room finished (and ideally two rooms) to move everything out so I can gut it.

Yo sup there guys man! How are you today? Today, I've just had leftover pizza with lemon iced tea for lunch again. Tonight, just relaxing online before dozing off.

Took the chance to get some computer work done at the church. The code I planned to write yesterday didn't happen so that's this afternoon's job.

Hey sup there! How's it going so far with your day? Today, I've just had my usual weekly 3 hours therapy session both online and by phone. Tonight, I'm indeed really way too exhausted to do anything else but rest in bed before falling asleep.

Made an omelet in my air fryer and forgot to spray my dish so it all stuck. Oops.

Hm. Sounds like a dish you made that won't see me beating a path to the door for a share of it :)

Got some good progress made with my code yesterday. It turned out to be a little more complex than I first thought but I got a quick proof of concept to work and then tweaked it to make it more generic so I don't end up with duplicated code everywhere. Now I just need to update the applications that need the functionality and all will be good. I changed the internal model so also need to tweak a few "helper" applications to use the new model. The immediate benefit is minimal but for future development it means I don't have straggling bits of code to break if I tweak something else.

Hello morning all! How are you doing with your day so far? Today, just been catching up on sleep since I've had 2 bad nights in a row.

Yeah, you wouldn't have liked the steak cooked in the air fryer either.

Got my wife's laptop upgraded yesterday. It's an old laptop but we figured it's worth putting a little bit of money into it to upgrade it, rather than spending a lot of money on a new one when we don't really know what she will do with it. As I said to her a $300 laptop is likely to be something she'll hate and there's no point buying her a $1000 laptop unless she's going to use enough of its features to make it a worthwhile purchase. So yesterday's upgrade was to swap out the hard drive and replace it with an SSD.

Increasing the memory made a huge difference, and the SSD has really made it fly. Now I'm thinking far more seriously about putting an SSD into my laptop.

Got some more struts cut and screwed into place, and also got a bunch of old scrap wood cut up and put in my sack of scraps. A few pieces look like they might have enough undamaged wood that I can use them but most of it is splintered or cracked badly enough I can't do anything useful with it. Now I've got another sack of scraps that weighs the best part of 70lb. It won't be long before I'm ready for my friend to come and collect it.

It's tricky getting the struts into place because I'm cutting them to length to match slightly twisted beams, and I don't really have any obvious places to stand. For some of them I can stand on floor cupboards, for others I end up precariously perched with one foot on a unit and another on a ladder, leaning improbably trying to figure out the best way to get at the work space without falling.

Got home from work, changed into my jammies, put my laundry in the washer and now I'm just enjoying the evening.

Howdy sup there! How's it going so far with your day? Today, as it's another very cold, dark and gloomy day outside, currently feeling like -8C, just playing some games on my phone before turning myself in tonight.

I've been pulling windows apart. Not the glass parts, so far it's restricted to the trim around the windows so I can seal some more drafts.

We got the snowblower put into the truck and will be taking it to a guy who does repairs. I'm tired of trying to play mechanic.
