It started with the damnable Jenkins last morn. While he made it to his post and began to prepare his equipment for the day’s watch, he soon complained of illness. After the watch commander bright this to my attention, I quickly made the walk to the wall to ascertain if this was a natural malady or some foul sending by the basics of this heathen land.
Upon inspection, I felt comfortable prescribing bed rest which was a great comfort to all involved after the purification burnings we we’re required to do last week. It’s not that my command is loath to preform their religious obligations, but the smell. Without meat being available this terrible season, even diseased meat cooking over a bonfire begins to smell delicious.
The day continued as such, one person after another coming down with this plague petite. Finally, after an entire day off chasing one pie soul after another and trying to find coverage for the gaps on the wall, I came home.
Little did I know that my own hearth works bring no respite. My fair bride, within minutes of my entry to our home, went from her usual self to agonized wimperings.

Functionally, this means it’s back to quiet time. No banging on stuff too loud or nothing. I didn’t get everything done that I wanted, but I did get more done than I expected.
I need to get wood for putting my planters on. I need to get planters. I need to rig lights. I need to set all that up and get my tomatoes rocking out.
I need to get aquarium and gear. I need to start cycling. I need to add fish.
I need to clear more room. I need to clean more room. I need to augment my bookcase. I need to augment my desk.

So. Where to start. I didn’t out that in the form of a question, because it’s not. I’m not asking anyone, not even myself. I consider it to be an interjection at the beginning of a train to pull the answer out. But still. Totally not a question.
Every day I evict something that isn’t mine. I save myself two our more pallets of good wood.
I start building shelves. I build ventilation for soldering. I start desoldering crap boards. I build shelves from them.

Go.

Totally had to replace the audio. Because reasons.

(Music is now http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Robodub/Make_Yourself_Be_Heard/Breakdown. It actually works really well. I’m kinda tempted to cut a minute or so of the video, so that overlaps better.)

Edited:
By found I mean… Long time ago I used to much more avant-garde with my artistic styling. Now I’m much more of brute force. So I made this video, but it being before the internet being as robust as it is now, it just lived on a VCD. During one of my iterant moves from one place to another, I left many possessions with my parents. One item bring the cd. My mom found it and brought it to my attention a year or two ago. I just found it again. So here it is, actually viewable by people.

So yeah, totally blew off doing real work. I more of just thought of what I need do. I gotta get desk old done first and foremost. From there I should be able to make some headway. Once desk old is gone, I gotta build the tank platform. This is super number two. I want that thing up on the casters before I get the tank, let alone fill it with water. Everything after that can just kinda flow. But those two. Gotta do them now.

First. I need to retire my current desk and nice over to desk other. I might go further than that soon, but this is a good start. Once I break sheen my current desk, I need to build a platform, probably on previously mentioned casters, for a tank in the dimensions 12.5″L x 30.25″W x 13″H. This will go under a table to bring a planet box to window height. I need to do a curtain setup to allow light in, but keep eyes out. That has nothing to with the table other than the table will be between the chain and the window. The table itself will go over the track with the drain suspended above. Hmm. I might want to look at using tubing for that. If I have the drain end high enough to clear the tank side, it will probably splash water everywhere. Not cool. So tonight, I need to make floor space. I think I need to start by deporting that which is not mine and reducing clutter in general. I’ll see how that goes. Making some shelves might not be a bad idea as well.

Right. I need to mange room to get beer fermenting. I’ve beer is fermenting I need to make room to start building couch. Once I have a better idea of how I’m doing on materials, I need to make room to get more materials in. I also need to start up my fish tank. I also need to start up planters for my tomatoes.
I think I have a problem. Not like ooh, that’s a challenge. More of the hi, my name is secondsuitor, and I’m an addict.
I’ve been playing gw2 again a bit, and new added tsw back in the mix. I think I’ll drop gw2 and just get back to tsw and work on my projects a minimum per day. I don’t like the idea of turning hobbies into a job, but at the end of the day, it would be pretty dope of my job was my hobby. The whole regimented thing though. Ugg.

Boneyard – Hop Venom IIPA
Clean and fruity.

Holy Mountain – Five of Swords IPA
Kinda musty, but good.

Stone – Go-to India Session Ale
Now I know what the S is in ISA. Bit of a floral and citrus. Crisp.

Counter Balance – Pogo Duck ISA
I’m confused here.
I drink it.
It’s dumb.
I go to say “Wif. This is lame. What are you talking about it being good.”
The after taste hits.
The after taste is good.

Anchor – Steam Beer
Ooh. This is good. Smooth. Crisp. Side delicate flavors underneath that give a depth. I like it.

I want to do more with less. I feel like getting more pallets is a cop out.

Right. I probably have enough wood. But. I already have to find this weekend anyway. So… I figure I’ll grab a couple more pallets. I very will might not need them, but I’ll find a use for the excess anyway.
In preparation for two more pallets, I should clean up some more. Get more floor space to work. I should also build my miter block for faster and cleaner cuts. I’m thinking of taking one of the wider boards and just putting a couple blocks coming up off of it. I’ll have to verify they’re straight. I’ll probably also want to reexamine my saw situation. I have the one that’s strap and flimsy, and the actual miter saw that’s firm but might be dull as an Ayn Rand book club.
In other news, I got a beer kit, so I’m making beer soon. Which sadly is another space eater in the Den of Inequity.
