At this point in time, I’m finding it refreshing to hear Pikmin music instead of the currently dominant Yoshi’s Crafted World music.Comments

- Dropped off, picked up.Comments
- Job, until I locked myself out of the house.
- Went to the library to do some homework herding. The guy picked up more books for the upcoming holiday.
- Made dinner.
- Went on one last big search for the printer power cable. Gave up, then had a hard time deciding what to buy as a replacement. Went into a rabbit hole re: verifying UL listings. Ended up ordering something.
- Settled on a shoe rack design.
- Tried to plan out how the tiny closet shelves would be built but got stymied by the fact that there are no studs in the walls, while putting up posts would eat up some of the closet space. We might have to just do that, though. Container Store options cost $300+ dollars, and IKEA ones cost $100 for shipping, even for something that's priced at $30. And I am not going to IKEA for this. -

Here at the library, where the guy and I are camping out because I locked us out of the house, some woman just addressed her two kids. They are named Peter and Jackson.Comments

From Sound, Noise, and Vibration Control:Comments
Trees and vegetation are not particularly useful sound barriers. Even a dense planting, at least 100 ft deep, will provide only 5 to 8 dB shielding.
People say you should plant trees for this all the time.
Deciduous trees provide almost no shielding during the months when their leaves have fallen. Grass and shrubbery are useful principally for appearance - not for noise reduction. -
22-minute run, 12 pull-ups.Comments

- Got the guy to do his work. There was a lot of it, maybe partly because we didn't do that much the previous days, but also maybe they don't actually do all of the work presented on all of the papers? Well, we got through it.Comments
- Job.
- Hollowed out more of the log.
- Tried to make dinner, but the grill would not start. I guess really low temperatures affect propane flow? I'm going to have to look this up. Pivoted to leftovers. But I was able to make the radish salad, which was good, if a little too salty.
- Made Friday's stew today.
- Did some laundry.
- Uploaded documentation for vermiculite removal reimbursement.
- Determined that Wily broke my USB-A port yesterday. No amount of prodding or taking it out and putting it back helped. Ordered a new one. $20, including shipping, which isn't the worst. -

I continue to not really be compelled by AAA, but I just discovered Yoshi’s Crafted World has a mini Mario Kart in it, and I have to give them respect.Comments

- Mixed Landing.Comments
- Went to the guy's report card conference. He continues to be good at reading and math and continues to need some help with social stuff and producing non-literal answers when asked to write something. He is a "calming prescence."
- Supervised the guy's woodworking project. If only there were someone to supervise mine.
- Went to the library. Got books for everyone, but forgot to pick up covid tests, which was the main reason I went there.
- Made dinner.
- Started hollowing out my log. The hole cutting and drilling parts went OK, but while I was chiseling, I forgot the two-hands-on-the-chisel rule and chiseled my finger. There was too much blood for a band-aid to handle, but not too much for gauze and tape. It is no longer throbbing, which I believe is a good sign.
- Discovered a leak under a bathroom sink. We cleaned it up, put a baking pan under it, and left a message with a plumber.
Katt and I realized we're getting away from the Slow Life ideal. We're going to have a day where we just read like the guy does, except with coffee. - Comments
