The CoronaVirus WTF are you doing with yourself while being isolated thread

[highland145]

I dig the extension cord!

That'll be a nice space once you finish it. You should have left the fireplace open so you could have a secret dungeon.

Dubbed by authorities as "The Nut Man", he supposedly trained a group of squirrels to lure children into what has been described as a "stone-walled dungeon filled with acorns and extension cords."

Haha that extension cord was rigged that way by the concrete guy while it was still wet, since he needed to power the polisher after.

Now I just use it to hang peop- to plug in the car in winter.

There's actually a pretty cool dungeon right under the garage actually.




I need to put a drain grate in the garage that leads to it. Everything floats down here!

FYI - Home Depot is doing curbside pickup. Download the app, order, then they'll message you when your order is ready.

The lines were wrapping around to the garden center at my local HD!

Haha yeah. Once I start a project, my bench and everything is a mess. I'm in the middle of some projects, but I've shelved those until I can get a few other things done, so everything is nice and neat for now.

The garage isn't conditioned, but it is insulated (and the living room is above it, and the basement is off to the left) so it's not bad working in there in the winter.

Here's my work area:

I just got my WEN hung up! Electrical & lighting are done. Next step is running ventilation for the 3D printing, CNC, and laser.

Good thing he does not live near the highway of tears; I'd have to drop a proverbial dime on his ass.

once again I went down the rabbit hole.
spent a whole day on Cracked.com.

To take it even further, the "cross" is really just Mjölnir standing on its handle.

Yeah i did much reading today about the hijacking of many pagan holidays. This right here is a eye opener to all the control religion has as a entirely.

This quarantine is becoming a bit of a mental drain. First world problems for sure.

This quarantine is becoming a bit of a mental drain. First world problems for sure.

I have found spirituality which i never had in my 33 years of being on this green earth. I will take any pro from a con any day. I always believe there is a pro out of every con, you just need to look past all the negativity. For example the Ozone layer is already resetting itself with people home, i am getting tons more rain then usual and also i drove thru la traffic 5 North during 4-5pm and zero traffic. A first since 1983 according to my friend. If you know the 5 North, that thing is bumper to bumper about 4pm.

Just find more positive things if you can, this is coming from someone dealing with anxiety and a thing called Hypomania. I suggest some Indica and some relaxing music, its perfect for those down and out moments. Sometimes enjoying a bit of nature REALLY helps. Try a hot shower perhaps? I meditate quite often using a hot shower, nothing feels as amazing as that not even sex. Its another experience.

Blessed be and hoping ya cheer up soon!

So my rental just banned smokers (BBQ). I can't even use my electric plug-in smoker. They banned charcoal last year.

I need to move.

Whole place oughta burn to the ground for that. Charcoal, I can see, but even electric smokers?

Finally finished my damn fence last night. First time putting 1 together. It was a PITA because the ground sloped to the right a good 6". Now I can work on re-growing my grass that died after we got this dog (the black one):





And with some of our lights on.

Finished up all the wiring in my cabinet tonight and tested everything out and all is good.

Took all the boards out to get the new wires put in and to test them out singly before doing the final mounting process and screwing down the top board. Keep in mind that Maximum Force / Area 51 duo is on the top board so it's not below.

Left to right is:

Police Trainer
Carnevil
Lethal Enforcers
Invasion
Deer Hunter

You may notice Carnevil has some extra wires. I have a volume up/down wire to that and am keeping it there since you navigate the test menu with those buttons. I can hook it into my JAMMA harness whenever I need to go in there so that will make it easier if I have to get into there. I also wired up the video sync directly from the interface board to the I/O board where it needs it.

Here's all 5 boards installed.

And here is a pic of everything hooked up and the final look of everything. I am very happy with how the wiring and cable management came out. I mean it is a shitload of wires.

And here is a little closeup pic of the switcher with all 6 games plugged in. I think the sleeved IDE cables definitely make it less crowded there.

Tomorrow I will try to get a video of it in it's home spot once I clean up everything and put it back where it belongs. And then this project will be over for now, until I get some more games and swap one out.

Something I've been meaning to do for quite some time is to update some of the computer-related guides I've written for my customers, particularly the ones that I drop in a desktop folder on every computer I do a Windows install on. Thankfully I've been freaking busy with my business for quite some time, and now this enforced downtime gives me a chance to catch up.

I decided to work on my guide called 'Handling a misbehaving computer', and a section about Task Manager talks about how Windows needs about 13 processes to run properly... hum. It's been a while since I gave this guide a complete overhaul

Finally got my light gun cabinet project wrapped up and could put everything back together again and cleaned up the space.

At least I have a nice man cave to be quarantined in.

trying to distract myself from the main family project, holding a vigil for my niece while social distancing. It is somewhat successful.

This is my quarantine battlestation. Got my schiit and burson high end dac/amp combo there, a turntable, ps4, headphones galore....

I made a video showcasing the multi cabinet for the arcade forum I frequent but thought I'd post it here since some of you may find it cool. My son decided to hit up Rush 2049 while I was recording it.

Your son is terrible at Rush 2049!

Yeah maybe once he turns 6 and his legs can reach the pedals without hugging the wheel he will be a little better!

First time in 20 years since i was 13 did i do anything like this but i ultimately got to work setting up the first of possibly 2 plots. Back one needs a busted fence removed before i could do that. When i was finished, i laid down my 1884-0 morgan silver dollar in hopes of driving any negative energy/spirits mainly due to a half dead rose bush that got pruned as well. I prayed to my goddess and by the time i was done with that i never felt so happy. I got blessed cause stuff like this kills my back but not even as much as discomfort and i moved a TON of stuff. Fresh top soil with compose from a old plow mixed in now, plowed about 7 inches deep in the designated spot.
