Perpetual Weekend Thread

My tax refund this year is kinda insane cuz I only worked half the year and I also got married.

Debt free since 2017 so I definitely condone getting out of debt and making regular extra payments on principal if you have a mortgage. We plan to buy a house and pay it off asap when the market stops being stupid.

Quote from: Otanx on April 02, 2024, 03:26:32 PMWe have had some big windstorms off and on the last few weeks. One of the cabinets on the back side of the house tipped over, and broke up. Still need to clean up the parts. Luckily nothing important in it.

Wife is traveling for work this week so I get the place to my self. Using that time to build an O2 generator so I can make my own Nitrox for SCUBA. Getting it put together in the living room, and once I have it working I will take it up to my brothers place where the compressor is and mount it. Just need to get it done before Friday night.

Don't you live in the desert?

Yes, I do, and it is becoming more and more desert every day with the lake drying up. There are still some places to dive near by. Nothing that comes close to the Caribbean, but still good enough. I didn't get the generator done. I was missing parts I thought I had. Hardware store helped out, but there are a couple items I had to order. Supposed to be delivered this week.

This is my last week at the old job. So this weekend will be filled with small get togethers with coworkers that couldn't get together during the week. Then the wife leaves for another work trip on Sunday night.

Saw the eclipse yesterday in Dallas, it was fantastic. Just enough breaks in the clouds to get the full effect.

Caught a nasty cold so dealing with that. I rarely leave work if I'm already there but my energy is zapped so I went to morning meetings and called it a half day.

Someone brought in a bunch of the glasses so most of the office went outside to check it out. We only got a partial, but it was still cool. Then someone created a Jira task for watching the eclipse to make sure we could all record our time correctly.

Note to self; If you forget your password and try to brute force back into it send dean a note so he doesn't think you are a hacker.

Good tip. This also reminded me to make sure I updated my email address here. I heard the other week that my old email provider is gone so even if I can remember my password for my old email account it no longer exists. Last year I had to get back into it to do a password reset on something.

Not the weekend, but I got my new Lego set delivered yesterday so time to put that together. It will take a few days, and then I need to figure out where I will display it. Has to stand up, and is 24" tall so it won't fit with the rest of em.

My recovery email wasn't working for some reason. Not even to spam or junk.

Bunch of guys at the office bought 1000+ piece lego sets to put together during an extended downtime
