I picked up an electric mower in the hope that it would be a bit lighter and easier to push around.  But with 100&#8242; of high amperage power cord that was not the case (and it didn&#8217;t reach everywhere it needed to).  So I&#8217;ve added a used Lawn Boy to the stable.  Now I have two lawn mowers!  I&#8217;ll have to get that electric one sold off to someone else before long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our DSL internet came together on Friday.  The phone wiring in the house was complicated and it took me a while to find a wall jack that actually had a signal on it.  But once I did that the DSL modem synced right up.  Since then I have rearranged things a bit and I have hard-wired some ethernet ports to my little office space.  The rest of the house is covered by the WiFi signal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At work I&#8217;ve been learning about MS Visual Studio Code, an editor and development environment on Windows.  Also looking at the OpenGL graphics library and some related things.  I have a series of training meetings scheduled for this week to cover a range of tools and technologies that I may run into on the new job.  I am just getting packed with new stuff every day.  It is challenging and interesting.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Wednesday: 4 miles; Saturday: 6 miles; today: 3 miles] Dubuque seems to be a good running\/walking community.
