Status: Livingroom is on track to be finished tomorrow. Didn’t sleep very well, but I’ll make it.
Plans: It’s a long day, get up early. Take a nap after church and start working on the piles in the living room again.
Narrative: Got up a little early at 06:30 and took a shower since I was up. (I knew it was going to be very cold and this would give me a chance to dry off before heading out in the cold.) Reset the alarm for 07:30 and caught a quick nap before the wife called me out to breakfast. She made eggs and sausage for me this morning.
Got to church before 8 and set out the Handicapped cones as usual. One of the Do Not Parking signs is missing along with about 5 small cones. I’ll get eight new cones ($14 each) and four new signs ($10 each) this week for next weekend.
Church service went well, it was relatively easy without the band and all the monitors. Great sermon today.
Had a ham sandwich and headed down for a nap, especially since it’s raining again today.
Spent some time on the Flight Aware receiver, we need to know how well it performs on the roof. Specifically the top of the chimney which is an appropriate round steel surface. I don’t have an easy way to run a network cable up there and the PI doesn’t have WiFi built-in so I connected my cellular modem to the Pi and ran the whole thing on one USB cable. The tiny 5″ antenna was picking up aircraft more than 100 miles away so I’ll be very curious what we’ll see with the 24″ antenna my son bought me. I put the pile of stuff in a plastic tub on the chimney and weighted down with a couple of boards. I should get a good idea if it’s worth the trouble of running all the wires to make it permanent.
Played a game of Scrabble and watched the end of White Christmas before retiring to bed.
Tomorrow: Get the Christmas Ham at 07:30.
