Health and Safety; Older kids are home from school now == Please be advised, due to health and safety, we have to close the school immediately as the school is too cold. The heating is not working properly and the school building has not come up to the minimum temperature needed.

Used a MagSafe ring sticker and magnet ring to mount a TRMNL e-ink thing to monitor stand pole.

Kids keep trying to sneak up on me in the office. Installed a little Tapo camera on the micro rack yesterday. It alarms and pops up on the phone when anyone is on the stairs 8:15-1550. Should be interesting today to see them try to get around it.

Today’s swear bear.

Walk into 15 year old boys room after a bit I ask "are you going to pick up the pile of hair on the floor?" he says "on chore day", which is Sunday..... le deep sigh.

Here is an odd one? Was thinking why is a castle only 850k ? - reading the description "In more recent years, Glanmore Castle was tastefully subdivided into four separate homes offering total privacy . " Not sure I want to share a castle row house. www.daft.ie/for-sale/hou...

Performed surgery on the fancy glove80 keyboard today hanging out on a zoom call. The R key was sticking making every day talk like a pirate day. - new Kailh choc white switch soldered in and all is better. - now only myself to blame for the typos….

Spent many many hours as a kid practicing shuffling cards with control of card placement / stacking the deck — comes in handy playing cribbage with the kids. They never question how often they get three or four fives in their last hands and beat me…. Thanks kid me.

Attempt one to make gold fish crackers. — good flavour, not crispy enough.

Thanks Revolt - Not sure if is this good or not? Your RevPoints activity stood out this summer — you made it into the top 10% of points earners globally.

For Xmas a few years ago a coworker at Oracle made everyone on our team a fancy pen. - I get so excited to use it the 5 times a year I write. Until I write and feel disgusted with myself for making the pen less gorgeous by forcing it to create the anti art that is my horrid hand writing.

Taking wife to have gallbladder surgery using the cargo bike. - this is the way.
