So much for going to bed early so I can make a road trip in the morning. I got into bed just before 3 and haven't been able to fall asleep. This happens twice a year (spring and fall). I was planning to drive to the east side of the state and get a oak butcher block plank so I could build a nice work...

I like to build random electronics projects. A few years ago I built a cool LED clock. I've wanted to build a Nixi tube clock but they are expensive. I've wanted to play piano for years so, two months ago I was watching videos on Youtube learning about good beginner electronic pianos. One of the recommended videos was a guy building a guitar kit.

They updated my expensive printer's firmware to reject aftermarket toners. As I was starting to print a shipping label for an Etsy sale, my printer quit working.

I found some videos on Youtube where people sell all their stuff and turn vans (and other vehicles) into tiny homes. Then they live on the road. I could never do that, but throwing my camping gear in my truck and going walkabout for 2 or 3 weeks could be fun.
Over the last couple weeks, construction and storms knocked the power out a few times. I know I was in special ed, but even I know to call the power company when the power goes out. Apparently, some of the people here don't know that. The rental office put notes on everyone's door, telling us that is the power goes out, we need to call...

A friend is trying to sell a scooter and someone offered him 2000 rolls of toilet paper as payment. My friend said no, of course. I told him, if anyone tries that shit again say "This ain't the zombie apocalypse. Cash only."
