Not today, but when I was at Quakecon, I got some cool stuff. So I got some basic swag; I got the BYOC shirt, and a free DOOM shirt while waiting in a line, and I won a raffle from Steel Series with number 69. Nice! They asked me what I wanted from a few categories, and I decided on a new mouse. They are going to ship it to my home address. Oh, and also one of my friends got me a Cacodemon plushie as a surprise gift.
 
Yeah down to like 21k figured I'd just focus on trying to pay that down fast. Credit line is almost up to 50k though.... Financially it would make more sense to focus on that as it's higher interest but I feel I see more a light at the end of the tunnel if I focus on mortgage. Then I can fast track paying the credit line once I don't have a mortgage payment.

It's always been my goal to have the mortgage paid by 40, I'm 39 so probably won't quite make it, but I will be close at least.
 
My pops was supposed to stop his chemo treatments yesterday but the dr. said that while he's still going to be doing radiation everyday for the next few weeks, he's going to take advantage and have my pops do another round or two of treatments. But at today's radiation treatment, the dr. said he's progressing really well and doesn't need the additional chemo treatments!

I am learning about the Lizard meme, it is pretty funny. Makes me laugh and it is cute because it is a lizard.

Upgraded the fume hood extraction system a while back and finally properly installed it - built a little table for it so it points right out the window, cut and glued the connectors so the air flow is more direct. It works great, which is good because it's dealing with toluene right now.

Most of it goes to the big cities in the area, I think. I'm not entirely sure - Julio picks it up every three days at...

I mean, uh, just practice my technique and try to get better yields because of school. Which I'm definitely in. With the books and the paper and such.

Finally sold my L shape desk after a few months for.... $25 through FB marketplace and the dude came and picked it up today!

(Got it for $195 a few years back. Well at least it is not taking up space in the garage anymore so the wife is happy.)
 
Walleye or a big mouth bass? We lived in Baudette, Minnesota, walleye capital of the world for several years when my dad was stationed in the Air Force.

Fried as soon as you catch them those things are the bomb! Good eats
 
We caught mostly largemouth and spotted bass. My friend caught one catfish. They were all pretty small, but we got dozens of them, so it was a lot of fun.
 
Didn't happen to me but I recommended to a colleague to get an HP laptop with 1125G4 CPU because it was within his price range. The laptop arrives from Amazon and the box says 1125G4. I open Task Manager and it says Cores 6. I look at the CPU model number and it's a 1215U. Unexpected but nice upgrade. Doesn't matter that someone probably effed up and packed the wrong laptop in the wrong box.
 
I thought I was starting nights tonight. Just double checked the schedule and realized it's actually tomorrow!

Downside is I got up late and didn't really do much today, with the thought that I had to go to work. Had I realized this earlier I could have been a bit more productive today lol.
