    Tonight I’m taking a class for Chigiri-e… japanese torn paper art. Not sure if will become a hobby but I’m getting out of the house, off my phone and trying something new. Baby steps!

    Spent the past weekend hanging string lights in the backyard. Used barrel-style planters filled with cement as a stand for a 4x4, then strung them across the lawn on some light cable. Was a pain in the butt, but the final product looks good and should last a few years.

    I helped my nephew kind of retrobrite the plastic casing to an old tapedeck. We took out the guts from it. I de-soldered the old chewed up power cord from it. I’m going try and show him how to solder the new one onto it. Only problem is I’m going to have to figure out which side of the plug goes to which terminal. Will have to investigate further on that.

    I might try to investigate joining a tabletop game some time this week. I’ve watch ten tons of D&D and read rules. Pretty decent at most of the rules. I just don’t know if it should be that or another table top or maybe a board game.

    Still in a Football Manager hole. Wildly vacilating between trying to perfect my own tactic, reading up on published tactics to see how well I compare, worrying that I’ve done something unrealistic or exploitive, trying to institute a reasonable wage structure that guarantees long-term financial growth and a playing pathway for my squad players, and throwing it out the window to sign a superstar free agent who popped up in my scouting reports.

    Will probably end up reloading my save from last season and starting over because I’m not happy with how my summer transfers went.

    Watched some shows and took apart my laptop to clean it. Previous owner spilled something and a few keys are dead :( I tried but I’ll need a new keyboard. I can’t even get to the keyboard motherboard to diagnose without permanent damage to the unit

    Work has been so stressful and demanding that I haven’t really had the time or energy to paint minis. I managed to paint 2 ribbons and highlight some armor, and I also started painting a face which I’m very bad at. All in all, maybe 1h of hobbying broken up into 20 min bits here and there.
