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.
Nearly 48 hours in and the baby is doing better. Keeping fluid and foods down since last night. Still not through this insurance mess yet but exploring options.
I don’t fault my company at all. I declined their coverage and my wife’s was better at half the price. The 27 pay periods in 2026 is the actual cause for this but we’re in a situation where it means 10 days of no coverage which we found out when we paid $130 for a prescription this …
Many posts on Reddit are talking about it and here’s one - www.reddit.com/r/fednews… My coverage ends 12/31, hers begins 1/11.
We switched from my plan (ended 12/31) to my wife’s federal insurance via open enrollment. I declined coverage, she signed up for hers. Her coverage does not begin until 1/11 (1st pay check) despite working there for 10 years. this lapse is legal and not covered by ACA or any law.
Going to throw together a blog but my wife and I, both with employer sponsored health insurance plans do not have medical insurance from 1/1 to 1/11. My child was in the ER last night after a fall and I’m signing up for cobra out of pocket so I can avoid $6,000 in charges.
Kicking off the new year by winning a free suppressor. Nice. The $200 tax stamp is not required as of January 1st but the same NFA approval process with FBI and ATF is still required.
With the coyote gone, the deer have returned to the field.
Took down a coyote today that was stalking and going after my dog. 247 yards, 4-16 scope, 6.5CM.
Happy New Year. I have paid my property taxes. :P
Clicks Communicator is exciting. I just wish it was a product from Apple. I want a physical keyboard, small screen, visual notification lighting (like Blackberry had) but I need iMessage and refuse to use Android - www.clicksphone.com/communica…
Any alternatives to MacUpdater? www.corecode.io/macupdate… “Unfortunately MacUpdater 3’s promised lifetime of “until 2026-01-01” is now over. There will be no MacUpdater 4 or any continuation of the MacUpdater product from us.”
Really enjoying reading all of the 2026 new years blog posts from people I follow. I don’t have much to say about the new year.
Brewed in 2006. Bottled in 2008. Drinking nicely.
How can I make Apple’s Passwords app better? It’s slower than molasses on MacOS and has been for the last 2 major updates. I’m considering going back to 1Password.
I definitely have a type of car I’m looking for.
In the backyard this morning.
Are we there yet?
Hello Christmas.
