So now it is 2025. I’m not sure I was exactly awake for all of that. I drive a 2016 car, the newest one we have, and that still sounds kind of recent to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, I’ve been working 5+ years at a job I started in 2019 and the job I did from 1998-2019, that seems far away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My wife sent me a meme thing where some kid at school asks their teacher about the “late 1900s.” It has been 25 years since Y2K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was happy the other day to do that antenna tuning job and play around with some of my fancy test equipment for the first time in a long while. That was a lot of fun. I want to do more of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recently got the fancy spectrum analyzer torn apart and sure enough, the movers had knocked it hard enough to break the CRT. That actually takes quite a bit of effort. The glass is about a quarter inch thick. I haven’t decided yet if I want to try to repair it or replace the CRT with an LCD module or maybe even move on to something completely different. I’m leaning toward the LCD module but I would need to sell some other stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A week or so ago I bought a 10 year old digital SLR from off of facebook marketplace. I was thinking maybe I would play with it for my youtube recording. But it turns out it will only do 30 minutes of video before shutting itself off. And that is not really a tragedy because I’m kind of happier with the old cctv camera I have been using anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I have taken a few pictures with the new camera and I’m enjoying that. If I get tired of it I’ll send it off to my son who needs a couple of cheaper cameras for dirty jobs or when people ask to borrow one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have had some interesting weather, cold, stormy, the usual winter stuff. The other night we were under a tornado warning for a couple of hours so we poked at our phones while resting on the floor in the closet. The lights blinked a few times but otherwise things went along as normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tonight is supposed to bring ice and maybe some snow. The schools and businesses have declared they will be closed tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday I had a really nice run in Starkville, then had a nice conversation with my father-in-law and then had another nice conversation with my nephew at the Waffle House. On Sunday we went to a women’s basketball game at MSU where the home team had a good first quarter and then lost big.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week at work everyone is back on board and we’ve been knocking out some small tasks getting ready to do a software release. And I got to spend an hour+ doing the annual sexual harassment training. So if you need someone harassed or bullied, I know exactly what to do. I have a training certificate to prove it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
