What's everyone up to right now?

[Little lunch]

Just came back from ten pin bowling with a client.
Before that I went to a RAAF memorial service with another client.
Before that I had to hoist a client out of bed, shower, clothe and feed him, and then take him for a walk to the park.
He's waiting on a part for his electric wheelchair so it's manual at the moment and the park is on another hill from his.

It's four o'clock in the arvy and I'm ready for bed.
In two hours I'm taking a client to a disability disco for four hours.
Thank fuck I've got tomorrow off.

Bought some autumn decorations today, and enjoying a glass of merlot right now.

Should probably be doing something but I'm just doing nothing.

We took the dogs sheep herding earlier this week. Both have giardia now. 

No barefoot in the back yard for awhile.

Messing around setting up a second monitor for my computer. I had an unused 26" TV and a spare port on my graphics card, so I thought I'd test with the goal of hooking a 25' HDMI cable up between my computer and my main TV. Unfortunately, I didn't anticipate that the sound wouldn't be carried by the HDMI from my graphics card. I do have things set up so I can play the sound from my computer on my main TV, but it requires messing with cables every time I do it. Not a big deal, but perhaps enough to turn me off the idea. But having a second monitor so that I can watch out of market football games while working on the computer is a nice plus.

Sank to a new low. I've been binge watching, no thanks to Rob, this cartoon called Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia

Tried plugging into the Boom Bag stereo I got yesterday and here are my findings:

• It turns on, but it only works when the light indicator is off.
  
• I tried playing some Kendrick Lamar through the auxiliary input, and it worked properly.
  
• There are two inputs, and it only works as a guitar amp if we use the mic input.
  
• When it turns on, it defaults to minimum volume; it seems that it works best for my purposes if I do exactly one click in the mic volume after I turn it on.
  
• Plugging my electric guitar into it at full blast, it sounds like a wicked fuzz box. Plugging my acoustic guitar into it with the AC-Tone pedal I'm planning to merge it with while the amp volume is at full blast distorts it beyond any recognition (not that it's grungy or a raging ball of feedback, but that it's impossible to tell the pitch of each note; a full 12-fret chromatic rundown on one string becomes unpredictable as to what pitch will actually sound or its relationship to the previous note.) The "one click of the mic volume" trick seems to fix it.
  
• So far, it seems like it does not like my TC Electronic pedals, neither my Skysurfer Reverb nor my Cinders Overdrive; the moment I turn then on, the signal dies. Further inspection reveals that the problem may actually be that the batteries are running down. At the moment, we're out of 9v batteries, so we can't test it again yet. This may or may not be a good reason to buy an external power supply.
  
• It is not battery powered, although it may be possible to link it with a battery, even if it's just with an external battery like Brian May's Deacy Amp.
  
• The ideal solution would be to bypass the control panel entirely when rebuilding the amps in the box, but we're not sure it can work.
