What did you do today?

I helped clean up our house. My siblings are gone for the week so we can do that without it being ruined in a day. I just got off of DND. I spent this morning finishing modding my Skyrim game for Legacy of the Dragonborn V6 when that releases.

We visited the Franklin Institute today. Checked out the Art of the Brick exhibit, and it’s pretty cool. Made this on the LEGO wall they had towards the end.

If you live nearby or are in the area, check it out!

Also, their new upgraded space exhibit it awesome! The upper floor has a whole display about space exploration and aerospace engineering which is very modern. I’d check that out too!

today i performed mouse surgery on my g604. i prepared myself by watching several teardown and repair videos some weeks ago. i ordered some high end microswitches with an 80 million cycle mtbf. logitech will sell you a mouse that costs a small fortune with a lot more parts than a conventional design and still use the same crappy fail prone switches as on their low end mouse offerings. im not sure if the unnecessarily complex internals really add anything into the product. how about you use the good switches, and i give you the extra four bucks.

it works. i can use the minecraft inventory again. the only caveat is i lost the springs for the center click return. i knew about them, couldnt remember where they were in the disassembler process. both popped out and went flying when i removed the wheel assembly. i actually managed to recover both of them. then when i went to install the second one, it disappeared when i tried to pick it up. after spending a good two hours looking for it using magnets and the like. they are so tiny i could barely see them. fortunately i keep a number of surplus springs. trimming a couple flit springs salvaged from lighters worked, but they are significantly more stiff and now it takes considerable force to use scroll click. i never use that button anyway and the other 8 work fine. im calling it a win, and for the second time vow to never buy another logitech product ever again.

I had to clean up a mess after my dog killed a baby rabbit. My brother had to pry her away from another one (thankfully it lived, and only had a light cut behind its ear). I’m writing this while standing guard of the den.

Today was a good day. We got up early (for a Sunday) went out to the shooting spot, only to discover that it was taken. So we went to the alternate shooting spot, set up, and the kids spent the day practicing. (Thing #1 and Thing #3 drew deer tags this year, and hunting season is in two weeks. So they really need to practice.) We came home at about 1:00, cleaned guns, took showers, did church online (sometimes I love technology), and then dinner. Whole chickens were on sale this week, so we decided that Sunday dinner would be Middle Eastern. Yesterday we made tabbouleh, tzatziki, hummus, toum, and pita bread from scratch. And I butterflied two whole chickens and put them in the fridge with toum under and over the skin. So this afternoon the chickens got grilled, and we had the Middle Eastern feast for dinner. Amazing. Then we watched A Fish Called Wanda together after dinner, which is one of the funniest movies ever made, kids had never seen it. Just one of those great days together as a family.

Repairs, repairs, repairs! I replaced a busted outlet at my grandma's house, worked on upgrading my mealworm bins sealing up a couple unwanted holes and experimenting with a filtering mesh, and I opened up my electric piano that has a few dead keys and ordered the parts that I think will solve that.
