I saw out last week setting all my facebook posts to private, closing down still further the past I had. I saw something, my sister’s formerly deactivated account with an active profile picture again, but not friends with me.
It puts a perspective on things. I put my hand out over and over to stay in contact with my brother and sister, and they’ve shown no interest in reciprocating.
Monday: Some admin and research, getting in touch with the bolt people to get the 10 extra washers they shorted me. Spoke to Pinnacle hardware about a shelving unit that’s out of stock at Bunnings, and whether they thought the Bunnings home branded Craftright version’s shelves would be compatible.
Then bought two sets of the Craftright shelves and a couple of dollies.
Tuesday: It was bucketing down with rain all day, but I had to go to Bunnings to pick up the shelves and dollies. Of course the rain eased off once I was at storage to drop them off, having had to walk out to the car with them at the store, with no covered parking.
One I was at storage, and had unloaded the gear, I was able to put the finishing touches on the frame for C45C4D3. So that’s done, my big 2025 project completed.
Wednesday: Groceries delivery. Did a bunch of video processing for bike helmetcam videos, reorganising files on disk, and running a large backup set.
Thursday: Appointment with a hand surgeon. He was an hour late for the appointment, and I was paying $300 ($220 out of pocket) 25 minutes later. According to him, a problem I have is a cyst in my finger bone. Allegedly if it was malignant (assuming it dates from when the injury happened) I would be “long dead by now”. Not the greatest bedside manner. I’m going to see my doctor next week to discuss the implications, but the surgeon didn’t really give me a clear idea of what the experience I currently have is or whether the surgery he recommends (removing the cyst, and a bone graft) will solve it.
I took some time to install macOS to the internal drive on my Mac Pro, as an emergency backup in case it gets to a state where it refuses to boot from it’s NVME PCI storage.
Friday: six-monthy blood testing. rest of the afternoon is pretty chill since you can’t left heavy objects afterwards. Had to order a new controller cable or my Xbox’s controller, as the old one was haing constant disconnection issues, and they stop happening using my B&O cable.
Saturday: Went over to storage with my air compressor, which is going down to Brisbane on Monday.
Sunday: Over at storage again, organising all the stuff I want to take down to Brisbane on Monday.
