Doing battle with some code. Got a first cut of another interface working. Now I just need to get something a little more usable and understandable than the raw numbers. But the good news is that the thing is working, at least in principle. Now I just need to make it pretty.

Slightly lazy morning, was on a roll with some code last night and didn't go to bed until after 2am.

Jogged my 2 miles and walked another mile after that then tried on some of my old cycling shirts and a lot of them fit! Yay! I hate jogging but I'm fitting into more of my clothes so it's worth the hard work.

had a tough time sleeping last night thinking of all the things I needed to do and then woke up this morning to a text that my evening appointment canceled.
The morning started off slow, but the work day is almost over now.

I had a bad molar pulled a couple of hours ago. I'm currently recovering.

Yesterday's jobs were very sweaty. I needed to run a temporary cable into the attic so I can get one of my sockets in the study reconnected. It was previously on knob and tube wire so nothing much worked very well. My original plan turned out to be less than desirable because it would have put my laser printer on the same circuit as my air conditioner so I ended up with a temporary connection to a socket in the attic, which is used for nothing except when I'm running the shop vac up there. If I'm running the shop vac the laser printer is on standby.
I also needed to move a load of stuff from one part of the attic to another. I want to lift the attic floor above our bedroom so I can replace the cellulose insulation with fiberglass and run a decent light into the bedroom. Once I've got to fixing it up property I'll replace the light with a ceiling fan. In the meantime I'm going to put a sturdy brace in the cavity above the room so it will take a ceiling fan when the time is right, and all I need to do is hang the fan from the fixture. The trouble is that moving stuff around in the attic becomes increasingly tedious because I still need access to other parts of it. I managed to move 61 window panels and get them neatly stacked, and shuffled a load of other stuff to make a little more space. I've still got a sheet of aluminum roofing up there that is going to scrap, a couple of boxes of trash I'd forgotten were still there, a box of bits of wood that I think are mostly if not entirely junk, and a few other gems that will be headed to the landfill next time I'm headed that way. The worst part is a small bookcase that needs to move, but of course to move the bookcase I need to take the books out first. I could really do without that. And of course it's north of 100 degrees up there, so everything is very sweaty work.
While I was up there I took a thermal image of the crawl space with the camera set to an automatic thermal range. The cooler parts of the image were 104 degrees, the hottest was 126 degrees. I won't be going in there for a while if I can help it.
I also needed to tweak my large separator in the basement. I was getting suction from it, just not as much as I expected. When I put a regular vacuum hose on it I could suck up sawdust but it wasn't as good as I expected. I tried all sorts of things to figure out what was wrong but kept drawing a blank. In the end I bought a plug to fit in the section where the hose would normally go and fired up the shop vac. That created a situation where whatever was going on would be going on and I could look to see where air was getting into the works. It turned out my lid wasn't quite seated and because the barrel isn't a perfect circle it wasn't a perfect fit. So I pressed it into place a little better and taped around the join, and within a very short time the shop vac was straining because it couldn't shift any air. At the same time the plug that had previously offered a little resistance when I tried to remove it became much harder to remove. As soon as I pulled it out there was an immediate sound of rushing air. It looks lie my separator is working at full efficiency now, which is good.
Overall a good day but I feel like I shed half my body weight in sweat. I drank a lot of water and added a lot of electrolytes.
