Dec 27 – Update
How about an update?
It’s only been a few days since my last update but there’s been some noteworthy stuff happen that’s worth noting..
Kyle caught covid, not a cold. His fever broke after one day and he feels not too bad, he says. Sami caught it too so she is at home sheltering in place. It’s been a lot quieter around here with only three doggos instead of six.
.
I think the car’s AC problem is solved without spending a penny. Yesterday I had been driving the car for about 15 minutes to coffee with just two blocks left to go. Waiting at a stop light I thought I just barely heard the AC compressor click on. Wait what?
.
I look down to see the center of the snowflake button was yellow..
Long story short I discovered that I can turn the yellow light on and off by moving the fan speed knob ever so slightly in just the right way. Driving over a bump or two on the way to coffee must have been enough to make it work.

So. My options are to live with the poorly designed control and pay attention to the light, or replace the controller. They’re easy to find, between $40 and $100 all in to the front porch..
So instead of dealing with the AC today I’m gonna spend some time in the basement. The priority is to make the large-bed laser engraver more… how do I say this… more secure. Stay tuned.

Oh. One last thing. In case you hadn’t thought about it, the last day of this year can be express as 123123. Think about it. Cheers.
