So much easier to take the train instead of trying to drive to downtown and pay through my nose for parking.

Installing two shelves in my office. Been meaning to do that for a while and finally decided to do it. My dad is downsizing his diecast car collection and giving me a few but didn't have anywhere to put them, so decided now was a good time to put in a shelf. I cut it in half so will put one over my work bench too. I can put my test gear on it. Although some of that gear is a bit on the heavy side... so maybe I'll put stuff that's lighter, like component bins.

Dead on! Just standard cheap metal brackets so nothing too special.

Made a batch of pizza dough tonight. Mixed the flour with the salt. Took out 3 cups of that mixture and put it in a large bowl. I later added it back slowly after I mixed the yeast mixture with the remaining flour mixture. It was still sticky. I added flour to cover everything and remixed (KitchenAide mixer). it STILL was sticking to my hands and the cutting board. Floured the top and then scraped the bottom to flip it. Then, floured the bottom side. Formed a big ball and then cut it into half. Eventually, cutting the halves into halfs. Four balls. Kneaded them all. Three into dated freezer bags. One into an olive oil greased container and placed into the refrigerator.

A client hired an engineering consultant to spec foundation material for a mining project. Stability is critical. The client jumped the gun and placed a quarter million tons of material before the consultant finished the spec. The material doesn't meet the spec, not even close. Cart something something horse.

Crapped up, riprap-sized soft rock where much smaller, harder material is specified. To make it worse, the crap rock the client bought for cheap was reject material from a nearby mine, rejected because it contains too much asbestos. The client can't even crush it to bring it into specification because doing so would liberate too much asbestos and the asbestos content renders the material too soft. The phrase, "I believe you're a plain old dumbass" comes to mind.
