Things I ''could'' work on today:
* log-cutting
* chip ice out of freezer bottom
** Normally I chip it out when water starts to drip out, but several weeks ago I discovered that I could put a small plastic plate under the corner it drips from, and that stops it from being a nuisance... but it's probably getting thicker and thicker inside the freezer now.
* update the bank balance spreadsheet
* pay some credit cards
** I think there's only one that's actually going to be due before our next deposit, but there are some automated payments that come out and that will be a problem as things stand.

I noticed a smoky smell, as I was working. After a brief check to make sure it wasn't coming from the basement, I went outside and found there was just this cloud of light smoke kind of hanging out behind the house, especially down in the power right-of-way. I went down there to see if I could figure out where it was coming from, but no source was apparent. It seemed to be coming from uphill, but somewhere past next door. Presumably someone started a fire, and wind conditions just happened to drive the smoke down towards us.
The light was interesting, so I took some photos.

Some more outside photos, again because the light looked interesting from the kitchen window as I was doing dishes.

I did update the bank balance earlier. Haven't tried doing the necessary head-scratching to figure out what cards to pay and how much.
Spent most of the morning working on vbz.net revival and a bit of time working on the folder-spider code for FTI etc. Progress, albeit largely below the surface.
I was informed that they'd opened the debt relief form again, so I ducked in and managed to get applications in for both B and Z... so yay! \o/

I noticed a smoky smell, as I was working. After a brief check to make sure it wasn't coming from the basement, I went outside and found there was just this cloud of light smoke kind of hanging out behind the house, especially down in the power right-of-way. I went down there to see if I could figure out where it was coming from, but no source was apparent. It seemed to be coming from uphill, but somewhere past next door. Presumably someone started a fire, and wind conditions just happened to drive the smoke down towards us.

The light was interesting, so I took some photos.

Some more outside photos, again because the light looked interesting from the kitchen window as I was doing dishes.

I did update the bank balance earlier. Haven't tried doing the necessary head-scratching to figure out what cards to pay and how much.

Spent most of the morning working on vbz.net revival and a bit of time working on the folder-spider code for FTI etc. Progress, albeit largely below the surface.

I was informed that they'd opened the debt relief form again, so I ducked in and managed to get applications in for both B and Z... so yay! \o/
