You're going to catch up with me I'm at 145 last I checked. That poutine probably didn't help. It was a large too lol. Thing is when I eat something terrible for me like that it usually last's me the day. Next meal will be lunch tomorrow.

145 was my Navy weight. I'm 5'11" though. Aren't you like 5'4"? I'm at my lowest weight in 26 years.

Enough is enough. Brought in the big guns. I'm wasting away!

I'm 5'6" so I'm within normal weight for my height more or less. I was hovering in the 155-160 for a while but that was on the high side. Slowing down on pepsi brought that weight down. Though I kinda started again, last groceries I bought a case. Been drinking it here and there. But not going crazy or anything.

Was installing a USB 3.1 Gen 2 card into my file server today. It's got external outs (Type A 3.1 and Type C 3.1). The cable I got to connect to a hub was the culprit. It was disconnecting constantly. I will be returning the cable and the hub. The speed of the the PCIe card is not as fast as the onboard USB 3.0 using a working a to c 3.1 cable. :/ It's close, but you would think that 3.1 Gen 2 would be faster than 3.0. not slower transfer speeds. I've got three USB 3.1 C to C cables that work. The transfer speeds is 4-5 x faster than before.

Bought an i7 6700 off of eBay. Here's hoping there's nothing wrong with it. It should be a simple drop in for the server. Also, ordered a new stick of 8GB ram to match the other one. Just trying to boost performance until I can afford to finish my home server project. This might be some time.

Just replaced the support struts for my hood on my Camry. That took about 10 minutes and that included cleanup and trash removal. Why pay someone $250 for something you can do yourself for $25?

Glad it's the week again. My packages are moving! Got my Princess Auto one today, and got one from Newegg that is apparently going to show up today but it's kinda late, unless they are working extra late now.

Also waiting for a notice to go pickup my drill bit at Home Hardware.

After all this I'm done spending money for next little while, I kinda went on a bad spree there.

Hmm wonder what are the odds my package does arrive today, I don't think it will, it was originally projected for tomorrow but they moved the date up to today so found that interesting. Kinda late now though I don't imagine they're still doing deliveries at this time. I just hope that it does not arrive first thing in the morning tomorrow or it means it will sit out all day. I might be able to get my sister to go put it in the house though.
