Got rid of some old boxes and papers.

hooked up the a/c unit in the bedroom, then the GD curtain rod fell down, and i had to warp my body into an awkward position closer to the window to hammer that SOB back up.

sorry to hear on the curtain rod .... glad your still able to type after fighting the curtain rod.

got half as much yard work as before done yesterday . painful as it was am seemingly recovered today , but temps are going up next several days and finishing the rest of it it could be quit a task.
but got the hard part yesterday. am starting to need braces for every part of my body .

i need braces also.

I achieved some swimming and diving.

got the sink clean for the first time since i can't rightly remember when. now it is pristine white for the most part, the other colors are gone.

Self confidence after standing up to one of my coworkers for the first time. All without exploding into rage!

managedd to finally get vehicle inspected , so it can be registered for another year, it passed with flying colours .

Successfully did not take an opportunity to bore my family by rambling about one of my special interests even though the door was being held wide open for me to do so

Gotta new avatar.

Congratulations on new avatar

I installed an induction cooktop. It's supposed to be "plug and play". It just has a normal power plug. Which is fine if your old one was plugged into a normal power point but the old one was not. There is no power point in the cupboard under the cooktop. I had to open up the new cooktop, dewire the power cord and then connect it directly to the power conduit.

I also got a new phone case, disposed of the old cooktop, put the games away that the baby had pulled out of the shelf, installed a new Ikea light and sensor and paired the new sensor with the old one so that both would turn on at the same time.

Person gots skills ^^^^^^^ congrats

Great work Retro! All of the old electric cooktops I've come across are hardwired in. Perhaps they draw more than 10 Amps so can't use a normal power point. If that's case they could put it on a 15 Amp powerpoint which should be more than enough for any domestic cooktop. 15 Amp outlets are backwards compatible and can be used with regular 10 Amp plugs. If they did this it would be much easier for homeowner's to replace their own appliances. I've noticed that a lot of downlight installations are now done like this, there's a regular power point mounted on the rafters above making it easy to replace your own lights.

Got Phoenix to run after a stick and to start coming back to me with it (he still won't willingly give it up though lol).

Managed to purchase some items for the household in general, despite the heat
