Warm and wet, possibility of rain. We did get a few sprinkles yesterday, nothing that got stuff really wet though. It was mostly nice, if humid. More of the same would be ok too.
Did my pickup. Did a drop off. Have more to do today.
Might have found some tile at Habitat reStore for the bathroom floors at the BOL. I will try to go by later today and buy a sample so that my wife can say ‘yea’ or ‘nay’. And yes, I spelled that the other weigh but changed my mind… it’s possible she reads occasionally…
Short shrift today, as I had sleeping to do last night, and running around to do today. We are supposed to get rain on Friday, which means I need to do the work at my storage unit today…
Juggling. And running in place. And falling behind. Still, what did JerryP say? “It’s a great life if you don’t falter…”.

I’ve always believed that Musk is operating from the handbook of “The Only Truly Bad Publicity Is Your Obituary”.
He has to cover for the delay in deliveries of the Jesus Truck through Summer 2024 lest the investors get anxious and start filing lawsuits.
Insulting the handicapped and doing a mea culpa? All part of the act. Maybe Musk saw “Clerks 2”.

My generation cracked the long-standing problem of adequately replacing Lynda Carter only to fire the actress during Hollywood’s ongoing post-“Woke”, post-Faux Pandemic financial meltdown.
“Wonder Woman” is a question of *girl* and costume. Warner had both.
Warner also fired Superman. And Aquaman signed on to the “Dune” franchise.
68F and saturated outside. 75F despite the AC being set at 73F inside. Not normal. Usually the AC is w/in 1 degree of setpoint.
We may have an issue. Joy.

Humid. Check the float switch on the drain line. If you don’t have the system serviced every year, the drain could be clogged and the switch will cut off the compressor.
I’ve had the line clog within a week of a service call.
Be glad you don’t have a “smart” thermostat. Mine cuts off when the float switch deactivates the compressor, and it requires up to five minutes to reboot.
Don’t run up to the attic with a bottle of bleach for the drain line as the interwebs will tell you to do. New systems don’t deal well with caustics anywhere near their compoents. If the float cutoff was activated, see if you can mechanically clear the line and call a the installer if you can’t. Talk to the tech about maintenance and what’s safe for your system when he/she shows up.
Pray it is the drain if you have an older AC unit. Freon cost me $700 for four lbs last year, and R134 is getting expensive now that it is deprecated.
System is new last year. The cost of the old freon was definitely a factor in the replacement.
Temp is holding, just not ‘crisp’ like normal. We’ll see what happens in the next hour.
On the other hand, I tested the Mr Buddy Mr Heater I picked up at the goodwill bins and it works fine. They’re going for $50+ in the auctions currently so that was a score.

When I replaced the mini split in my garage in January 2021, I ordered a 5lb bottle of 410A to keep as a spare. It was $89 with free shipping. It’s now $189. No problems ordering. I might go ahead and order another 5lb bottle. It will never get cheaper and my two house systems use it as well. Plus I have the equipment to actually check and add refrigerant.
A wet vac on the drain with a damp rag to seal the opening will usually clear a clogged AC drain.
It has been a slimy, nasty mess every time I’ve done it, so remember to empty the wet vac first. Ask how I learned that! 🙂

>> Real estate guy said I might need to drive down to sign stuff in front of a Notary. “Or we can FedEx the paperwork but that can get expensive”.
@paul, the title company should absorb the FedEx charges. And ‘afternoon service’ is fine.
Back in Dec 2020, there was a recommendation here for a AMIR Refrigerator Thermometer (dual remote sensors, useful for remote freezer temp monitoring). Cost was under $18, so I bought one.
Never did work right. One remote sensor failed (in a 10F freezer compartment, it wold read 45F), even with new batteries all around. Since the item (still available on Zon) had a lifetime warranty (as detailed on the product page), I decided to ask for a replacement under the warranty terms.
After digging around for the company email, I asked for a replacement under warranty. Their initial response was that it was out of warranty, as it was over 2 years old. I quickly replied with a screenshot of their ‘lifetime warranty’ on the product page.
Their next response was to offer a $10 refund (50%) on the product price. Nope, I replied. Full refund or replacement.
And that’s what I got. Full credit from Zon to my credit card (used for the purchase).
Now that I have the refund, a negative review is the next move, although they might get a point for eventually doing a full refund (under duress). Not recommended.
I’ve had mine since June 2020. Works fine – no issues.
Whatever one I bought based on recco here works… and has long enough to replace the batteries in the receiver/display…
for the record, I’ll look at the brand when I make my lunch.

Jenny’s story keeps getting better. Al the moose (Alces alces), bunnies, then bagpipes and canine music critics, now game wardens.
I had been expecting Al to take a quiet trip to freezer camp, but now I am on tenterhooks for the next instalment …
Jenny would need another freezer or four for Al. Plus a few days for the dismemberment. And, she would have a lot of evidence (viscera, bones, etc) to get rid of because the ADFG now has her number. Burying it might not work. Throwing it in the river might work.
I cannot help but remember Pournelle’s Dogs in Elk. I did not believe it at first. One of the funniest things I have ever read except when the elk part came crashing in through the window as the elk body shifted while the dogs ate it from the inside, changing the center of gravity.

Jenny plays the bagpipes?!?!
I play several instrument, at varying levels of cringe. I’m not particularly gifted of anything, just tolerant of q-flat diminished and a willingness to put in a whole lot of effort for little noticeable gain -laughter- I can make guitar, flute, and mandolin sound like music. The other instruments are for my own amusement. The set of bagpipes I have are not a good physical fit for me, quality of play suffers. I was hoping my playing style, which closely resembles a moose in agony, would be sufficiently alarming to drive Al away. Nope. After a couple minutes I was out of breath and gave up.
I can play a few tunes on bagpipes, poorly to the educated ear, but I run out of wind before I run out of tune. The dogs were not wrong in their evaluation and vocalization of their opinion.
Slaughtering rabbits leaves a minor easily handled mess. Once you get past goat / sheep size there’s nothing subtle about it. Al is a juvenile bull, think white tail deer on steroids. It’ll take him a year or three to reach full massiveness. Getting him into a freezer cannot be accomplished subtly, even if tomorrow is trash day.
Dogs in Elk was brilliant. I reread it periodically because it never ceases to put me in stitches.
The other dog bit worth reading is Hyberbole and a Half s bit about moving with dogs. Running from lava in swim fins. Go find it. Its very funny.
Al was blocking access to my car this morning. He’s a real nuisance.
Intimate facials. NOW have we reached peak weirdness?

“Running With Matches” by Sarah A. Hoyt

“The late Jerry Pournelle seemed to have a second sense for when I was going crazy. Or, you know, he read my blog.”
“I’d get up one fine morning, and there would be an email saying “Sarah, despair is a sin.” I hated those emails. Because — as anyone who has contemplated suicide knows — despair presents solutions that are simple, satisfying and… wrong. (Which is sort of what sin does, anyway, if you think about it.)”

The next chapter in the Legend of Jeff. Family Guy. Drives a Honda …
Ah, screw it. It was BS then and nothing has changed except the number of ‘0’s in Jeff’s bank account.
I didn’t know that. Anyway, if I have to pay for FedEx it’s will still be less money than 6.5 hours each way of my time. Running the speed limit. Figure I get paid $10 an hour. Plus gas.
Truck shows on the dash that it averages 15.6 mpg but it hasn’t been on a trip to anywhere so I don’t know the range of a full tank on the highway.
The ‘75 Cordoba could start with a full tank from north Austin (Braker and I-35) and yeah, if I didn’t top off in Alice she would be on fumes when I reached Edinburg…. with an about to burst bladder.
The crazy to me thing is the trip is longer than it was when you went through every little town with all the stop signs and traffic lights. The highway by-passing of the little towns added a lot of miles. The speed limit was 70 on my last trip. When the limit was 55, same amount of time. I’m not seeing an improvement here and there’s no Dairy Queens to stop at for a snack.
I made the trip a few times in 5 hours. Long stretches of nothing, just mesquite trees, set the cruise on 70 between towns. Bump it up to 80+ once in a while, just saying. The Cordoba could run and it liked it.
But that was in the mid to late ‘80’s. Twelve plus hours driving in a day wasn’t a big deal. Now? Ok, add on a night at a motel. I’ll pay FedEx if needed.
This can go either way. My old keyboard that I’ve used since WfW 3.11 was a thing and Netscape was brand new, has a key that is acting stupid.
So. Do I take the keyboard apart with hopes of cleaning the contacts? Along with the risk of trashing the keyboard. Or do I just press alt and then 120 on the keypad to get a lower case “x” if the key isn’t working at the moment.
Alt it is.
Just train yourself to use the other alt key.
Made it to Bryant Arkansas without incident. As usual, the truck traffic in and out of Memphis on I-40 is annoying. Trucks clogging the left lane, no one in front of them for miles, two trucks side by side, for 11 miles, at 10 miles below the speed limit. Then they have the balls to tailgate cars who don’t pass other cars (or trucks) fast enough. Cretins. I hope their turbo bursts and blows parts in four of the cylinders on their engines.
The other thing I despise are compression brakes. Loud, annoying, obnoxious toys for the driver.
Saw lots of troopers in TN before Memphis. Seemed to be local county chaps looking to increase their revenue. Surprisingly, almost all of the traffic was running 70-72 with only a couple of drivers radically exceeding the limit.
A couple of trucks were operating in truck restricted lanes. I got the information and have contacted their companies. Hopefully the drivers get a scolding from the safety officers. One truck was not using turn signals and that piqued the interest of the safety officer. Yes, I am an anal orifice.

They used to be able to listen to the cb radio and get warning if anyone reported their little games to the constables. With cell phones and streaming, there can be consequences. If you get good video, you give the trucking company a call and report the actions, mentioning that the state patrol and top twenty insurance companies are going to get the link to your video.

Or not. Maybe, just maybe, cross-cultural adoption is a bad idea, because genetics will overcome training. Nature over Nurture.
Maybe the American Indians actually have a point. Keep the Indian babies with their alcoholic, structurally poverty-stricken, dysfunctional community, because it improves both.
I know exactly one Indian adopted by whites. She has nothing to do with her adoptive parents as an adult.

Hit Costco on my way home from my afternoon pickup. I’ll have more to say about that later.
One of the things I bought was something I’d never seen at Costco, a sirloin cap beef roast, and because it was Costco, sold in a 2 pack.
Price was pretty good, about $5/pound for choice..
Made one for dinner and it was really good. I’ve made one before, don’t remember which store had it separated, otherwise the ‘cap’ is usually part of the sliced steak. In the US, the sirloin steak is sold by itself (center cut), with the extra strip (cap off sirloin), and as a slice thru the whole muscle (cap on sirloin). Cost decreases the more extra bits are included, because the grain of the tissue runs different directions, and the connective tissue between them is still there.
I usually get the cheapest, and if they are big enough, I’ll take the slice of the ‘cap’ off myself. Then I’ll season it, shape it into a C, and skewer it to cook as a picanha steak. Lately I’ve been separating the various chunks after cooking, and slicing them before serving so that I can be sure to slice them across the grain. It makes them much easier to cut on the plate, and more enjoyable.
A sirloin cap roast is what you get if you take off that whole chunk of tissue before slicing the rump into steaks.
Very tasty and tender, easy to roast in the oven, and at 2 ½ to 3 pounds, a nice size for a smaller family dinner. We ate every scrap of 2 ½ pounds tonight, with roasted baby heirloom potatoes and corn with butter…
The point was though, that this is a cheaper cut of meat, whose inclusion on the sirloin steak actually reduces the cost per pound, and I’ve never seen it at Costco before… Personally, I think it’s a great cut for beef lovers. The flavor is great, and if you cut it the right direction it is tender and easy to eat.
I’ve seen it at HEB, and now at Costco, they have cheaper cuts for sale to counter the higher prices for the ‘good’ cuts. Thinner slices of steak and porkchops too so you can still get a steak or a chop without breaking your wallet.
Not a good sign.

if there was only a way to capture an image with your phone
– oh I sent the picture, and the box label so she could check out the specs. As the photo of ‘the dress that broke the internet’ proved, what you can’t send is the actual color of the thing. I say “warm grey” she says “too beige” or “that’s taupe” or “are you f’ing blind?”
And I say that as a trained, professional lighting designer, and projectionist, with decades of looking at VERY SUBTLE color differences. If the colors have to work together, you have to see them together under the actual lighting conditions where they’ll be installed. (or be ready to modify the lighting)
n
(in our lab at BigCorp we showed routinely that the eye could see color variation with more subtlety than a professional test instrument that cost over $60K. The colorimeter would show the two projectors perfectly color matched, but the eye said “Nope!” One single bump of an adjustment and it would be perfect… and the colorimeter would still show them to be the same. Funny thing, on site one day another guy was color matching while I was busy, and did a great job. I told him so and he said “I left a little extra green in there because I know you like the white to be a bit greener….” Yes, yes I do. VERY subtle but visible.)
Thanks, Jenny! I had forgotten that… Brilliant.

I am still fascinated by the disaster that Musk walked into at Twitter. The company had tripled the head count over the previous 12 ? 18 ? months and revenues were declining since twitter had banned so many users. If you ask me, I suspect that the books were cooked.
I wonder how many Silicon Valley companies are barely hanging in there. Many of them have apparently gone out for more seed money and there is no money. Lots of public layoffs and secret layoffs going on.

I’ve been considering one of the bellows pipes, possibly in a friendly key like A so I can play with other instruments. I’ve also been considering smaller blown pipes than the Great Highlands. Fieat I want to get my breathing, blowing, and squeezing of the pipe bag in order. I’m a rank amateur and fighting myself wasting air. I’ve found Dojo University a huge help.
My Graphics prof in grad school had a personal theory he was cooking that a fourth eye cell type exists in a certain percentage of the female population.
I’m not trying to be funny.
He was color blind, and his theory was that the fourth type of cell was tied to that gene. Given that the third type of cell was only discovered in the 90s, it is definitely possible.
