Feb. 15th, 2019 03:31 pm I have voyaged south
two weeks ago I mentioned off hand to my boss that I might like to take today off work, since my parents are starting maple tapping and might need the extra help. And originally it was to go see potential sidejob client but that fell through. He said probably and I promptly forgot about it when he asked earlier this week if I was still taking off. I told him if we got most everything done I might.
So we got shit done. Basically all that was left was printing which could only be done by one person because one printer (a lovely lovely printer that folds and staples things). I got the most complicated things done that needed to be printed and boss said I could head out since new admin was competent and could do the rest.
And then I asked if I should meet him at the hotel for set up monday morning and he said, no, don't bother, we don't have that much to set up and can get it all done tuesday.
the offices are all closed monday for presidents day (so no printing) although our team doesn't get off. so everything had to be done by today and since it was 95% done yesterday, boss said I could have monday off too as long as I paid attention to my phone
so surprise 4 day weekend which is lovely.
I left for PA this morning and arrived just after noon. my parents are picking my grandma up from an appointment right now.
I'm working on my laser scarecrow and have figured out how to make the stepper motor and the laser turn on and off with the amount of light so it will turn off at night. I feel like a programming god (it's mostly copy pasting, changing one or two things and hitting go) I need to fold the servo into the mix and set it up on the same thing but after that, I just need to put the physical parts together and fine tune the programming for scaring.
my current issue is that I can't find small gears anywhere but my parents have old erector sets in the attic which may have something.
I'm going to be at the west farm all day tomorrow tapping trees because it's time!
