Cool, dreary, and possible rain today. Yesterday almost made it to drizzle, but not quite. As I drove around I might have almost seen some sun, and the occasional bit of moisture seemed to hit the windshield, but neither ever really developed into anything. Today is forecast to actually possibly maybe rain. Gah.
As noted above, I spent part of the day driving around doing auction stuff. Dropped off some stuff. Picked up some stuff. Still have stuff to pickup from this week, but that’ll have to wait ’til Friday.
Because today I’m headed to my remaining client’s house to do some service work. There are a couple of TVs with image issues that need to be replaced, and one bit of control system service that has been on the list for a long time that I hope to get to this visit. We still have a list of unfinished projects and some upgrades left to do, but hey, everyone has budget constraints. And other constraints like not wanting to be in attics when it’s 140F in there…
I’ll take a look at the network stuff, and cameras, and run updates against all of it, if I don’t run into issues with the TVs. I need to be home to get D1 from school, so that puts a limit on my work day. Which is good and bad. I usually end up with a long day at my client’s as there is stuff I can do, and I like to meet with him to go over the current and upcoming work, when he gets home from work. Unless he’s working from home today, I will have to leave before then. We’ve got a long history, and a lot of trust, so it won’t be an issue, but it’s always good to get some face to face time for relationship management. Relationships matter. Especially when you are alone in someone’s home for days at a time.
Trust and trustworthiness are vitally important in all areas of your life, particularly when ‘the chips are down’. Strive to build both in your life. That is something you can stack, that doesn’t usually cost money…
For all the rest, spend what you have to, and stack.
