Sparky wanted to go out and make new friends. His tail was smiling, but it didn’t make it to his face.
The construction guys sent the tire buyer to the aux driveway, so everything worked out.

This is fun.
They have to dig up the waterline to hook up Jerry’s house, across the street. It wouldn’t be an issue except a guy is coming over soon to buy the wheels and snow tires from my last Tacoma. If the guy calls, as I requested, he can park in the aux driveway.
He won’t call, and it will be a charlie-foxtrot as he interrupts the excavation.
I painted all of my padlocks and their accompanying keys.
My last home security project was to add instrumentation to all of my exterior door locks to monitor their status, and communicate with a local hub. I wrote a short program to link the locked/unlocked status of each door lock to the off/on status of a bulb in my dining room chandelier.
Are my projects getting dumber or am I?
It feels reckless to drill holes and change wires on a new truck, but I’m going to keep doing it.
In the thirteen years that I had my last truck, I modified it to add desirable features. My new truck doesn’t have those features, but it does display a bunch of cryptic symbols as it does stuff that I am already doing. Stuff like steering and watching what other cars are doing.
My plum trees are wracked with black knot. That’s a gnarly looking fungus that infects a branch, and kills the rest of the branch. Close up, the corruption looks like this.
When the Embridge guy came by to sign off on the gas line installation, Sparky was very interested in the natural gas leak detector. He wanted to know if his breath really smells like farts.
My natural gas is going to be turned off most of the day as a new gas line is bored from the other side of the road, under my lawn, and to the side of my house. My gas meter will be moved from the basement to outside.
The worst part for me is waking up early to let them in.
A new truck means new projects.
That yellow jounce block was removed from above the rear axle, and replaced with an air spring.
