    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    It took a bit of tinkering and a few unexpected requirements to drill holes in wall studs but I got my fan rewired. Now all the knob and tube wiring in my house is disconnected. I put some green electrical tape over the exposed ends as a reminder and will start physically removing it to the...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    I managed to get access to the ceiling cavity to rewire the ceiling fan in the kitchen, without pulling down anything in the kitchen. Now I need to run a fish tape from the fan to the access point to pull a string, then from the switch to the access point to pull another string, then use the...

    Is it easy to get at the pockets without taking the pack off? If not I'd look at something to tie things to a waist band instead so I can get at them easily.

    Thinking about the water bladder approach, it would also be good to have something other than cargo pockets to carry trail maintenance stuff. I usually carry a folding saw and a pair of pruners so I can do basic trail maintenance as I go, if it's needed. It's good to be able to deal with a trail...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Took a couple of days break from tinkering with the guest bedroom and got back to it today. Nothing major, just cutting some drywall to fit the gaps where I took the lath and plaster off behind the baseboard. Now if all is well I can get the tool to blow the insulation over the weekend and put...

    Got a run in this morning. It was hotter than I'd expected so I was glad for a water bottle. I really wanted to run my 8 mile route but given it got hotter faster than I got acclimatized to the heat I decided to do the 5 mile instead. I'm glad I did, I drank enough of my water I'd have run out...

    That sounds really handy. As far as possible I don't carry a backpack, simply because my back gets sweaty enough without having something pressed hard against it. On a longer walk it's handy to be able to sip water without taking the pack off to refill bottles, and it would be handy to have both...

    Your oldest piece of clothing

    I have a coat I bought in 1997 that I still wear when it's cold. I've got a couple of jackets older still but seldom wear them - I recently found them in the back of the closet. I still have a belt buckle from 1982 and a belt from the late 80s. I still wear the belt but haven't used the buckle...

    Your bedroom door

    Closed. We have some nightlights in the landing and if the door is open the light shining in disturbs me. We leave the nightlights on because there are a couple of particularly dark corners that can sometimes play tricks with the eyes in the night. It doesn't bother me - I don't mind moving...

    I took 24oz of water on my hike yesterday. I drank most of it but finished the last couple of ounces when I got back to the car. My tracker estimated I lost more like 64oz of sweat. For longer hikes on hot days I should think about some form of hydration pack. It's easy enough to carry two 24oz...

    It's been a while since I was in the woods so today corrected that. It was a hot day, and by the time I got back I was pretty well soaked in sweat. Thankfully I had a dry shirt in the car. I was a bit slower round the loop than I have been but I wasn't really pushing the speed overly hard. I...

    The last phone you had

    I moved to a new carrier that didn't support my old phone. It was only about eight months old but the new carrier was cheap enough to make it worth writing off a phone and transferring.

    The most expensive food

    The most expensive food I've ever eaten was on a corporate bill so from my perspective the money was well spent. I'd recommend any corporate accountant release some extra funding to take me out for an expensive dinner, any time, any place.

    How true/false is this statement:

    I think care needs to be used with specific terms like that. I'm not sure it's safe to say that getting an inflated sense that strangers care about my opinions, in a world where so many people are posting their opinions, is diagnosable as NPD.

    How true/false is this statement:

    I think the key thing about social media is it amplifies the sense that anybody else really cares what I have to say. (he says, on an internet forum, assuming someone cares what he has to say....)

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    More electrics today although not as intense as yesterday. Gentle walk first of all - the regular route around town with my wife. No speed records broken, today was just about getting moving. The porch fan is now hung and working nicely. It creates a reasonable down draft, hopefully enough to...
