We must not have been as late as the guy that passed me going 100 with an emergency donut instead of a proper rear-left tire. It was a wonder it didn&#8217;t blow up in the middle of a mass amount of traffic as we approached Morrilton. We made it in and stayed pretty busy all day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I brought a couple wireless cameras to test on the line, so Tyler and I went out to see if they would work that close to the machinery. They actually worked perfectly, and I discovered my little security camera would work on a battery pack. I figured if something under $50 would work, we could replace it 20 times for the cost of doing it the &#8220;right&#8221; way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We went to Sonic for lunch, and I tried combining my Sprite and my strawberry and peanut butter sundae into a float. It tasted fine, but the peanut butter was surprisingly overpowering. Things got really quiet in the afternoon. I spent some time talking to Tammy and Janice about Elizabeth&#8217;s needs for processing UPS invoices, and I think I&#8217;ve pretty well decided that it&#8217;s completely unnecessary. Then I had to help Teisha with the breakroom digital signage because it wouldn&#8217;t connect again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of that made the afternoon go by pretty quickly. As much as I dug into the network project, I didn&#8217;t feel confident enough in my settings change to build out anything new. I couldn&#8217;t even get printing working across the internal wireless network because I didn&#8217;t understand how zones worked with networks, which somehow weren&#8217;t subnets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I did a quick rearranging of the office before everyone shows up for training on Monday, and then we left. We hadn&#8217;t been on the Interstate long when my left repeater camera died again. This was much earlier than usual, even though I had parked with it away from the sun again. We made it home pretty quickly through some mad traffic, and I cleaned up to take Muad&#8217;Dib on his walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Summer got home just before we left, and seemed to be feeling much better. She stayed home to prep for a race in the early morning, and Muad&#8217;Dib and I walked to my parents&#8217; house for dinner. I finished up the eggplant soup and stayed through some persimmon pudding with Dad. Then we headed home in the dark again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Summer was up surprisingly late, but I got tired surprisingly early. A big Vine drop started after being pretty dead all day, but I left to lay down with Summer for a little bit just to rest. Eventually I had to get up to wrap up my usual end of day, but then it was back to bed a little early for a Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>No game.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had a better start today, but still ran a little late.
