Disposal, Turnaround

On Saturday I slept in until after 8AM, a Unisom side effect. Once I shook off the cobwebs I got busy. I detached the chain rail from the motor of the old garage door opener to make it more manageable to throw in the back of the Tacoma. I also lugged the old microwave out to the truck as well for disposal. Elsa and I made the hike out to the recycling center near my old house to dispose of the items in their metal waste dumpster, free of charge.

During the afternoon I worked on hanging numbers on the garage, it looks like after the house was painted numbers were not reinstalled. The dense concrete beams that compose the top of the garage openings were too hard even for a brand new masonry bit to put much of a dent in. I got them installed but I am going to need to add some silicone to the fasteners to make sure they stay put. I also installed my two Ring cameras I bought, one in the north side of the back yard and another pointing at the driveway. With six cameras in total now I feel pretty secure in saying nobody can step foot on the property without my knowledge.

Saturday afternoon I shot a quick video regarding another Tesla accessory that was sent to me for free for evaluation. It was a set of console kick covers designed to protect the sides of the footwell from whatever may get spilled there. Install was easy and my foot well now is basically bulletproof.

Sunday I did my customary bill pay session. My wallet and email were stuffed with credit card receipts for house related purchases I have been making (mostly). My next credit card bill is going to be astronomical but just think of all of the Amazon spiff points I will be earning.

I spent a good deal of time trying to clean up my smart home configuration. I had things from my old house still in there that were causing issues so I did a spring cleaning of smart switches/lights to hopefully make things easier moving forward.

During the afternoon I went out to do a speed run on the EX30, using the greenway path near my house. It’s a pretty good spot to do so as long as I can time it when there are not other people around during my high speed passes. On my last run I got up into the mid 40’s, more or less matching my highest speed ever on an EUC. The EX30 is a very good wheel.

The rest of my Easter Sunday went very well. Remember when I said 2023 is going to be great for me? I think I just might be right.
