Well... this weekend I managed to pay a few bills, clean house a little. Got some food, did some things... blah blah.

I also got out my old electric remote control car. Cleaned it up, lubed it and got it running really well. Chased my dog Wanda with it, which she likes. Then while diving it to me, to put it away, hit a small obstacle at low speed and blew it up!

It is 12 years old, so... figures. Thankfully the company is still in business and has parts!! And they are cheap! Looks like Wanda will have to wait a few weeks for "her" car to work again.
The things I do for that dog!

Nothing major. Just relaxing this weekend.

Sat. - Not much. Might go out and browse a few stores.
Sun. - Weather is supposed to be crappy. So probably stay home and relax.

Nothing much.

Jade Sinapu · « **Reply #480 on:** December 04, 2021, 01:23:25 pm »

I'm sick. So I am doing nothing but trying to get un-sick.
Oh yeah, and checking in to work from time to time.

Gonna try to make a video, then post it to social media platforms.

Going to a model contest this coming Saturday.
Stay home on Sunday, relax, and maybe watch some football.

Making Christmas Making Christmas Christmas time!

Browsed a few stores today. Didn't buy anything as I was low on money. Just browsed only.

Tomorrow, probably stay home.

Christmas. Everyone's gone home. House is quite again. Time to clean up and enjoy the rest of the night.

Yep, I hear that. Just got home myself from my mom's place earlier this afternoon. Stayed with her for about 2 days for Christmas. Just relaxing at home right now.

Nothing on New Year's Eve. I don't go out and get wasted like all the other drunks out there. I'm going to stay home, have a nice hot cooked meal for dinner, and watch a movie.
Saturday and Sunday are supposed to be bone chilling cold, so I'll stay home and keep warm and work on a model kit or find other chores to do around the apt.

Struggling to make the best of my time off before I go back.
Took dog for a walk or two. Once in -13F weather. Her paws froze in 2 minutes. I took her home and put on dog boots. She was good to go for 30 min. Have one boot which needs stitching repaired.

Just found out the squeaky squeaky sound in my car is the water pump bearing. Sigh. I can do the job. It's easy. It's just 75 for parts. I'm tired of spending money on anything. Idk about much right now.

My old co-workers's mom died at age 91. That's very sad.
So I'm bummed about that and thinking of how time just keeps ticking for us all.

So this weekend I'm essentially wasting time being bummed out.

Possible model club meeting today.

As for Sunday, stay home, keep warm, and watch the Packers/Lions football game.

Looking forward to the Steelers in the Playoffs Sunday night. Even if they are a 13 point underdog and will most likely lose. Even considered traveling to Kanas City for the game, but none of the family wants to go so no point in going alone.

I hope to get out of the house, and do a dog walk. I mean walk the dog. Not me, Wanda. NVM.

I also hope to do more work on my Pseudo-Doppler Radio Direction Finder, as if anyone at all cares anyway.
I did a full blown test drive and it does work and seems to track radio signals to within 2 degrees absolute. So...it's not bad.

Go walk the nearby rail trail. Work on a video or two. Try on a costume maybe. Then tune in the FPS.

Rocket T. Coyote · « **Reply #494 on:** January 28, 2022, 02:30:29 pm »

Gonna check out the local gun/knife show with relatives. Will feign disbelief at the inflated prices.

Kobuk · « **Reply #495 on:** February 24, 2022, 08:35:53 pm »

Not much this weekend I don't think. Maybe hit the library on Sat. and/or do some grocery shopping.

Sun. - Stay home and relax.

Did a booboo on a woodworking project. Cut something 1/16 to wide. Now I need a 3/16 piece of flat steal instead of the 1/8 I planned on using. Also going to go to a few local thrift stores. Hoping to find something I can use as a glass muller. I've made a prototype canvas stretcher. If it works I'll make several more.

Replace an A/C on a car.
This is the 3rd one I have done in my life all on different cars.
For those who know, yes it is illegal to VENT a charged system. But for all 3 I have worked on, they vented themselves when they BLEW UP!
Projected to save over $1000 doing it myself, and that is after buying parts and such. And with price of cars now, well... makes even more sense for me to fix it.
Shouldn't take more than 3 hours?

Kobuk · « **Reply #498 on:** March 10, 2022, 02:20:51 pm »

Model club meeting this Saturday.
Stay home and relax on Sunday like I usually do.

Jade Sinapu · « **Reply #499 on:** March 10, 2022, 05:36:32 pm »

Well my A/C fix took 8 hours. But it works.
I may clean the inside of the car this weekend, but I suspect I will still be coughing up a lung or two since this cold/plague/mystery illness is not gone.
