43°F

Today was a lot... shades got installed, dumbwaiter guy was here and almost finished, electrician was here running wires for the water heater, hopefully we'll be over the drama this week
long day of teaching a workshop followed by meetings so here's a cat
This week's Lego build progress
Tonight's waffle stack: 72 waffles!
that was cool
Part 2 of the last bit of this wall
The last of the back wall is getting done the slow way, hand-mixing concrete. The conduits are not going anywhere now.
Turns out these tankless water heaters are just not up to the task. We failed the plumbing inspection today because they can't supply hot water to all the fixtures at the same time. More details on that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0KnENLf-AQ
Driveway pavers are done!
Progress on the driveway pavers!
Why yes I did burn CDs of the full length versions of all 100 of my #100DaysOfMusic songs organized into cohesive albums. And yes you can also find them on Spotify but this is much more fun.
This week's Lego build progress
Finally got around to tucking the exterior Ethernet runs into a box so there aren't random wires dangling from the side of the house anymore. In hindsight I would have placed these slightly better and put them inside a box in the wall, so this will do instead.
The crew finished the pavers this week! Looks so good
📍 San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
When will riding in self driving cars get old? I try to do this at least once when I visit SF. I'm guessing it'll be at least 5 years before this is anywhere near normal.

This week's Enterprise build progress! #lego
Somehow this iPod from 2007 handles files better than this mp3 player from 2026
The hot tub controller/heater is on its way back, but won't arrive until tomorrow evening. It's expected to drop to 28° tonight, so I had to drain the tub so the pipes don't freeze. But it's ok because this water needed to be changed out anyway, so Sunday I will try to get the tub back up in operation.
It's crazy that CDs are the most reliable way to play a list of songs in a specific order with nothing else. Also burning CDs is super easy now too, easier than trying to put a list of files on a USB drive in a specific order. Also also my burned CDs from 20-25 years ago still play just fine, which is definitely something I questioned 20 years ago, so to my past self: the answer is yes.
