Long weekend

Well, Thursday I didn't put anything up and it was not a good day. Mostly I remember a DCB fatigue running 800 cycles, popping a hinge, reworking the specimen, restarting it, running an additional 900 cycles, popping the other hinge, reworking teh specimen, and restarting it. All for one data point -ahhhhh! After that, it was inspecting panels that I failed. They looked ok, but It needed a closer look and it turns out that I was right -- and now I have more work to do because of it.

Friday, I took off and did some stuff around the house. I did some work on the desk construction, and finished the assembly Saturday. All thats left is the staining, which will be a full days work. I fixed the main toilet - always fun.

Saturday - More of the same and went to the grocery store.

Sunday, get up early for 7AM sunrise service to run the audio mixer. The service went well, and there was a breakfast afterwards. Then, did some cleaning at home, and changed the oil in my car. I decided to check tire pressures while I was at it. My wife's car was 5 psi short all around and I was missing around 10 psi all around. So I inflated the 8 tires and then went down to the in-laws. Good turkey and stuffing... and mashed potatoes... and everything else.

After I got home, I got some dinner together and my sister stopped by with some of her leftovers since she wouldn't be able to finish them... and I have no issue finishing leftovers. Had dinner, and chilled out the rest of the evening.

Today, I got to do some microscopy to prove that I was right about some issues (see Thursday), then I got deligated to cut panels in the shop. Cut panels til the saw overheated, then did some compressions. Then I cut panels til the saw overheated, then I did some compressions. Then I made the final saw cuts. I had to send out some material because a batch of specimens didn't get cut properly, and clear out some paperwork. Not a great day, but could have been worse.
