I love it. Probably not your cup of tea though. :)

CAR SECURED!

Okay, I think I bought a car. Will share a photo once I give them the deposit pending a purchase & sale agreement.

This is NOT a joke. New AirTag comes out on the day one of my 8 AirTags started beeping like crazy and has had me re-paired it to my phone 3 times. It’s like it new a replacement was inbound.

Despite hearing enabled, I’ve had to manually clear ice off the Starlink a few times

Done with classes until next weekend. Gonna get up at 5am to snowblower.

Two weeks of weekend classes so that means 19 straight days of work w/o a day off. Good money but it’s a lot.

I did not buy a car yesterday.

Looking good!

I might buy a car today. Feeling good about this one.

Photos from today’s construction and some pics of the lake:

Need to prepare for some client work so while I have the day off, I’m creating some content for a presentation.

Now the wait begins

Week 10 video of our house remodel - www.youtube.com/watch Previous videos are in the playlist connected to this video if anyone wants to catch up.

What’s the hack to getting 3 year apple care coverage for Mac? Can you still attach it if you call them up within 60 days? You can no longer attach at time of purchase online or via settings. $149 a year is $450 over 3 years. It used to be $339 for 3 years.

It’s been like this for a year and I still absolutely HATE that Final Cut Pro just doesn’t open an import dialogue box anymore and thinks there’s a universe where a video editor would want to import an image from Image Playground into Final Cut Pro.

Another eight night PMP course as instructor in the bag!

Today’s progress.

I think I’ll be doing this for the motorcycle lift in the garage: www.blackwidowpro.com/motorcycl… and this for the automotive lift: www.quickjack.com/product/8… Photo of tool box setup which was $5600.

Finalized concrete floor coating for the 400 square foot garage and paid a deposit. Ordered my custom toolbox configuration which will be arriving around March 20th. Still need to order a motorcycle & automotive lift system but those can wait until March to order as lead time is shorter.

Pretty good mockup.

Productive meeting with the GC today to talk about framing, ceiling, windows. Moving to 8' ceilings, going stick built over trusses, some vaulting, getting an 8' garage door, much larger windows and did some bathroom reconfiguring. All good stuff, no extra cost.

With every Gamestop in New Hampshire and Vermont closing this month, I’m now over 100 miles from the nearest store. End of an era.

I’ve become pretty agnostic to UI redesigns but since October, this one has really annoyed me and I had no idea why - noheger.at/blog/2026…

I can’t open a video in IINA or quicktime that I exported from Final Cut Pro using footage I shot on iPhone.
