Connected door, second coat, redeployment

So I kept busy last night.  I ordered an additional WeMo switch to control the automatic chicken door.  My thought process was it would allow more precise control of the door instead of the analog timer it is running on now.  I plugged the motor that controls the door into the WeMo switch and configured the switch via my Iphone to close and open automatically on a schedule.  When I checked the coop video feed last night I saw the door had indeed gone down as scheduled so I figured we were good to go.  Well this morning the door did not open as scheduled so I had to go out there and manually hit the power button.  It looks like I have more tweaking to do tonight.

I also applied a second coat of touch up paint to the spots on the Tacoma I painted Sunday.  The color match is very good and makes the truck a legitimate 20 footer, meaning from 20 feet away it looks half decent. Cindy is supposed to try to paint the beat up Toyota logo on the tailgate flat black to give it one more tweak. Tonight I hope to finish it up with a little wet sanding so I can list the truck for sale.

I also started redoing the used system I got from my accountants, blowing it away with the set of four system restore DVD’s.  Doing so reset the system back to it’s Windows 7 Pro SP1 starting point.  I plan to upgrade it to Windows 10 with a SSD hard drive before handing it off to Ali. The combination should be pretty damn quick, even on 3-4 year old hardware.
