What's everyone up to right now?

So much to do. So little motivation to do it.

Going to build a small rack. I set the main piece down to look for some wood for the other pieces, and I can't find that first board, now.   My feet hurt anyway, so it was time for a break.

Reinstalling Windows on the NAS's SSD.

The missus brought home an antique tin opener that she picked up on one of her scrounging expeditions. She wants me to do a resto on it so she can give it as a gift. 

So I’m mulling over how best to approach it.

I figured out where the extra 8TB hard disk came from. It's a lone wolf, I only have one of that specific model of disk, so I can't really pair it with another drive for data redundancy. I do, however, need a lone drive or two to serve as backup of 8TB redundant stores, so this may be lucky. In other news, I've got a 4TB drive with a pending bad sector that I can't seem to clear. Not sure what to do with that one, and the warranty expired in March. Water under the bridge I guess. That and one of the two new drives is running hot and so will be replaced. I'll lose $10 in the process, but no sense running a questionable disk.

Not my day. I went to create a bootable linux flash drive only to find that one of the USB sticks out of the three pack was bad. Oh bother.

Working, and listening to the Donna Adelson murder trial in the background. IYKYK - any true crime watchers here?

Shopping for kitchen tweezers.  I figure that using kitchen tweezers to bread fish and chicken would work better than my hand because my lack of fingers.  There's a 9" tweezer for $5 and a pair of 12" tweezers for $10.  I'm split on which to buy.  And looking at Julienne peelers.  A pair of those would work great for stir fry prep.

And I'm still mulling over getting a good quality blood pressure cuff.  I ordered a wrist cuff type, but returned it.  The wrist type are not accurate enough.  A good quality one will cost up to $100, but I don't want to spend the money.  But it's not like I'll stop needing one anytime soon.  I've got a cheap arm cuff one, but it's not very accurate and gives inconsistent readings.

I’ve never heard of kitchen tweezers. Interesting.

Vacuum-sealing some ground beef.

Taking a break from sewing, sewing, sewing. Lots of gifts being made for Christmas and a couple quilts for me too. I have more in the works along with a Christmas stocking and some Christmas ornaments. I've been listening to books that have been sitting in my Audible library...some have been okay, some not quite so much. I forgot that I had pre-ordered the newest Lizbeth Salander book and it came out today. I think that the people who have picked up the series are losing steam.

Also have corn bread treat in the oven for the parrot right now. It's his favorite food.
