What a great morning. It’s almost 7, so it’s almost time to start the trek to Boston for our bi-weekly software roadmap meeting. Yay.
On Saturday, I spent the afternoon crawling around in cat poop. I went in the crawl space to run a wire to replace the Cable of Terror that currently supplies 40A, 220V power to our range. I found out that apparently the cats have been getting in there and doing their “trick.” So I tried to be manly about it, got a dustpan and a trash bag, and went in to clean up. About an hour and a half later I had what can best be described as an attack of the crawling heebie-jeebies and got the hell out of there. The wire was only about halfway nailed up, but the cat poop was all cleaned up and I was DONE, thank you.
Went to the inaugural meeting of the Riverside Skeptics. My friend Dan had set it up on meetup, told me about it, and I had RSVP’d. I thought that would be it, but then ANOTHER guy RSVP’d. So, we met Brian. Brian goes to the Providence atheist’s meeting, and seemed to be a pretty cool guy. We talked about how churches shouldn’t be tax exempt, and why you have to swear on a bible to testify in court. Stuff like that. Plus, we ate spinach dip. My long term goal is to get the local atheists to sponsor the missionary trips that I’m already doing. I’d be great PR.
Then I played Gears of War for like, 5 hours.
So yesterday, back in the crawl space. Finished running the wire, ripped the old 2-conductor outlet out of the wall, installed a new 3-conductor one, upgraded the stove to fit the new receptacle, swapped the cables out at the main breaker box, upgraded the entire kitchen with GFCI outlets, and called it a day. I believe that I’m now within sight of “done” on this particular project … the only remaining things that I know about is the ceramic post style wiring in the shudder attic. Just a quick peek under the insulation aaaaaand …. that’ll be it.
