other half asked me to tackle cable management intra-wall two rooms came out good
I really get off on doing that sort of stuff, running cables. Every once in a while, as tech changes, I find myself offloading unnecessary equipment and piling HDMI/ethernet/USB cables all in a pile. Got so many now it's pathetic. Wish I knew how to tell what HMDI cable has what kinda capabilities, though.
I've got to do some serious work on this. It is that time of the year to take the towers out to the front porch and blast them with canned air. That's the easy part, hooking them back up is the bitch. Not that I don't know what goes where, its just that presently everything is buried under one year's accumulation of stuff on top of them that has to be dealt with, too ...
Cleaned up the music puter somewhat. Did some a lot of consolidation and deleted about 500 gigs of music and meta data files, mostly one at a time ...
Now you have more room to add more stuff!
7 + terabytes overall. My primary vinyl ripping partition is 1.25 TB and it was down to 3.2 GB. Now it is back up to about 40 GB for now.
Have a 2 TB Western Digital Black HDD sitting to swap out with a 1 TB and pick up another full TB. Living dangerously as at least 2 of the 5 existing drives are over 10 years old now.
WD Black or nothing ...
Did have to make room for new arrivals this month.
Country Life and Stranded from a preorder I forgot about showed up Saturday.
A week ago I picked up Brewer / Shipley ~ Weeds which has Witchie Tai To on it. BOC's first and a clean copy of Cheap Thrills.
Sometime next week Porcupine Tree's new set comes. I've got 2 box sets on 45 RPM and a standard 33 1/3 black vinyl copy coming. I expect to make some money on the 45's down the road after they are sold out.

Fed the horse, got the homemade water-cooled TIG torch setup working finally and welded a new handle on the 5" valve, then built 2 gate keepers for the pivot gates, rehung a gate to match and re-strung the electric fence to clear, walked the dogs and started the barbecue. And a beer.

Weather wise it was just the most heavenly of days for us. So headed out into the garden with our babies ( our two dogies) and just messed around really doing nothing other than to be with each other. Yottie has heart probs and our vet says she has not very long to go so we just went for it with heaps of her favorite naughty food n lots of cuddles.

I hear you; stairs are becoming my most dreaded enemies.
When I was young I could run you into the ground, but because of the past 2 years of not going out much and doing very little has contributed to my muscle loss. When I was young I would bike everywhere, play hockey for hours on end or play basketball from early morning to when the sun went down. I could flex my thigh muscles and split my jeans too.
Guess thatâs why my knees are now getting kind of wonky.
So pulled my mower out and rebuilt the carb to try and get it to run. Ran good enough to get the overgrown lawn cut. Only problem is that I need to get my legs rebuilt.
I was beat and had to sit 3 times, which was surprising since I normally can cut my small lawn in one shot. Getting old sucks!
Getting old is the best. You just have to learn how to adjust to it. It's not youth, but you've already done that.

I've put off the new knees but they're in my future I guess. Not much to be done for the crooked 'ol fangers...
When or if you go for knees... ask for Zimmer Persona. Zimmer knows the knees. And they are built with the best and latest tech in the plastic insert that should last over 30 years or more. Doctors will never tell you what knee they use. Usually it's the one they can get the most profit/ freebies (payola) off of. Don't go for the gimmicks either. All this hype out there in the last few years about computer measurement/ satellite technology is a big gimmick. Those systems use a old Stryker knee, that Syryker has moved on since about 4 new revisions past. When I went in for surgery, the Zimmer rep already knew what size he needed to bring by just looking at me. And he brought 4 sizes each way just in case he was a little off.
