08:32 PM rue_mohr: multi-day outage!
08:32 PM rue_mohr: you shoudl see the size of the trees that fell on the lines!
08:32 PM rue_mohr: wooooo
08:32 PM rue_mohr: they are still on the fiber comm lines, but I guess those dont care
08:32 PM rue_mohr: k90000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilooooooo
08:32 PM rue_mohr: I noticed that all the keys jambing on my keyboard are vowels
08:32 PM rue_mohr: giving them vasaline as I go
08:38 PM aandrew: it would seem like vaseline would be a very bad thing to put into keyboards, it'd pick up pretty much everything
08:45 PM rue_mohr: but wont destoy the plastic
08:46 PM rue_mohr: goes on the slider when you pull the key out
08:46 PM rue_mohr: so its pretty isolated
08:46 PM rue_mohr: so the tree that took out my power was amost 24" dia
08:47 PM Tom_L: wb
08:47 PM Tom_L: you'd think a tree that size would stand against time
08:48 PM rue_mohr: there was a pretty brutal storm
08:48 PM rue_mohr: funny enough at about 11 int eh morng
08:49 PM rue_mohr: so I have my new power switch box in
08:49 PM rue_mohr: and realized I also need a 24V battery charger as part of the system
08:49 PM rue_mohr: the ups wont charge off my generator
08:49 PM Tom_L: mine is 14v but like 50A
08:50 PM rue_mohr: this is just a little 1500w
08:50 PM rue_mohr: for my bedroom computer
08:50 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:443/~webpage/misc_stuff/12v_supply3.jpg
08:51 PM rue_mohr: 24V 30Ah battery
08:51 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:443/~webpage/misc_stuff/12v_supply2.jpg
08:51 PM rue_mohr: ah
08:51 PM Tom_L: rv
08:51 PM rue_mohr: RV supply
08:52 PM Tom_L: yup
08:52 PM rue_mohr: hmm, you know, I probably have some big 24V supplies from printers
08:55 PM rue_mohr: I did get quite a feel for "I am nothing without electrical power" over the last day
08:56 PM rue_mohr: I should have a better source of my own
08:56 PM Tom_L: no gen?
08:56 PM rue_mohr: someone was getting rid of a really nice chair at work today
08:56 PM rue_mohr: so I have a new chair
08:56 PM Tom_L: :)
08:57 PM rue_mohr: I do have a generator, but something more established would seem to make sense to me
08:57 PM Tom_L: i ran one for 14+ days once
08:57 PM rue_mohr: has anyone won the election over there yet?
08:57 PM rue_mohr: ouch
08:57 PM Tom_L: no
08:57 PM rue_mohr: for the last few elections it seems to be a race of bad vs worse
08:58 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:443/~webpage/temp/ice/12.jpg
08:58 PM Tom_L: during that ice storm iirc
08:58 PM rue_mohr: oh yea, the big ice storm
08:58 PM rue_mohr: you should see the process of getting marked gas now
08:59 PM Tom_L: marked?
08:59 PM rue_mohr: yea, not for road use
09:00 PM rue_mohr: I have to wake up at 4 tommorow
09:00 PM rue_mohr: generator test at work
09:00 PM Tom_L: my normal wake up time :)
09:00 PM rue_mohr: ouch
09:00 PM rue_mohr: so I'm off to bed in about an hour
09:01 PM Tom_L: me too
09:01 PM rue_mohr: I got some great peices of channel iron today too
09:01 PM rue_mohr: didn't get time to work on sprayer stuff
09:01 PM rue_mohr: drove around everywhere to find generator fuel
09:01 PM Tom_L: right now 99 haris 270 to win 178 trump
09:02 PM rue_mohr: ? 99 counts to be made?
09:02 PM Tom_L: i just use pump gas in mine
09:02 PM Tom_L: of those they have counted
09:02 PM rue_mohr: hopefully not ethenol?
09:02 PM Tom_L: a small percent
09:02 PM Tom_L: not pure
09:03 PM rue_mohr: collects water like hell
09:03 PM Tom_L: same stuff i put in the cars
09:03 PM rue_mohr: my mower collected half a cup one winter
09:03 PM Tom_L: i switch it out once a year whether i use it or not
09:03 PM rue_mohr: so I use non-ethenol in it now
09:04 PM rue_mohr: I have sprayer repair stuff to do, and I repeatedly cant get to it
09:05 PM Tom_L: got parts?
09:05 PM rue_mohr: not completely
09:05 PM rue_mohr: I dont know what I dont have tho
09:06 PM rue_mohr: sprayer s/n 2 is here for repair
09:11 PM Tom_L: saw that
09:23 PM rue_mohr: just did a check on them, most need new heads
09:23 PM rue_mohr: and I dont have any heads ready
09:23 PM rue_mohr: (assembled)
09:28 PM rue_mohr: oops, this morning I put a second pair of socks on twice
09:37 PM aandrew: ...
09:37 PM aandrew: so you put a pair on, put another pair on, realized you did that, took the second pair off, and then put them on again?
09:40 PM rue_mohr: no, I put on the second pair, got distracted,thought I only had one layer on, and put another pair on
09:41 PM rue_mohr: my shoes are a problem and I need to double up my socks or the socks and my feet get damaged
09:41 PM rue_mohr: wow I'm tired
09:42 PM aandrew: well that was a lot of sock work
09:42 PM rue_mohr: oh, when you merge a github fork, you just do it once and then their updates automatically push to your project?
09:42 PM rue_mohr: it was dark, I was cold and tired
09:43 PM rue_mohr: taking a shower with an on-demand that is powered by a generator that you dont COMPLETELY trust to not stall is a bit stressfull
09:44 PM rue_mohr: oh, the 4 sample fourier might be halariously simple
09:45 PM rue_mohr: the sqrt(a^2+b^2) might be the worst part, but, I can make a lookup ROM
