Time Magazine isn't picking Donald Trump as Person of the Year and Trump would pass if they did. So, to save Time Magazine some time, no pun intended, I am also saying that I am passing on the nomination. I think there are better people out there than me that deserve it. Of course the PotY isn't always a person of good standing according to Time Magazine but I think that it should be that way.

Yesterday: 207.5 in the morning, really only ate one meal with a bunch of snaking. 212 at night. Today: 209.5 in the morning. Light lunch/brunch. Changed oil, oil filter and air filter. Whopper for dinner. Not going to weigh myself tonight. One day I'll get down to 200. It'll probably be next year though.

Three things I learned today. 1. I have the day after Thanksgiving off, which is good news. 2. I am not sure if I have Mardi Gras day off, which is neutral news because I'll probably take that day off because of #3. 3. I learned that EXHORDER reunited and will be playing on Lundi Gras!!! This is GREAT news. I should be able to survive the show but probably won't be in a condition to work the next day which is Mardi Gras. 4. I'm terrible with lists.

So I decide to take a short walk this morning. When I got back I went to grab the keys out of my pocket. Hmm, I just seen to have the shed keys. Oh well, I guess Lisa Smit will look for me when she wakes up and gets hungry.

Another day of disappointing project results. Started with working on Lisa's car A/C thinking it's a common radiator fan control module that went bad. Well, that might be if she had a 6 cylinder. But she has a 4 and the engine cooling system is completely different. Sooo, I check fuses, relays, etc and in the end I don't know if I had any progress but I did increase my had in some design engineers. Then it was on to running some new cables for the antenna that I put in the attic a while ago. Since we don't have attic stairs I have to bring a 6' ladder in. We also have a low pitch roof with little headroom and I hate stooping down up there. I jump into a Tyvek suit and prepare to sweat. Well, seems that when the A/C air handler was installed the installers didn't give a shit about how any cables were running already and the one that I wanted to pull up, for the back TV, and have the new cable follow was on the other side of the handler and under the ductwork. That means I'd have to pull the cable from a distance and have a chance of damaging the duct. Ended up snipping old cable and using that. For the front TV I was able to access everything but the hole that was drilled in a joist had a CAT5 and RG6 running through it and would have probably jammed up trying to get the crimped connector through. Ended up cutting and using the existing cable again. OK, now I have both TV's hooked to one antenna and I rescanned for channels. Now I get 4, 6, 8, 12, 20, 26, 32 (iffy), 42, 54, and their sub channels. Not bad for being in Luling with a cheap antenna that's just sitting up on the attic floor. One day I'll mount it better. Sooooo, I put everything up and relax. Big mistake. After checking my email I see that my thermostat is not connected to the network. Why? Well, seems that the condensate sensor got moved and it switched the whole system off. (this is a problem I've had since the system was installed, improperly, but the company is out of business so I just deal with it). So, I grab the ladder and jump back into the still moist Tyvek to fix a little float. ARGH. Now I'm exhausted and tired and worn out and ....... Sooooo, if you made it all the way through this ramble I have some things for sale from all of this. Mazda cooling fan controller. As well as some 6th generation Corolla parts I think. White RG6 coax, about 700 feet and some shorter crimped pieces. Ethernet cables: I've a bunch of 6-10 footers of various colors Now that the cat has left my lap and I can freely type I'm finished typing. Where's the arsenic, I need a shot or two.

So, if they were to replace my bumper and try to fix a bracket then the car would be considered "totaled". Since they didn't they cut me a check for it. Now I have a new front bumper. headlight and hood. All are painted. Well, except for the headlight. My 12 year old car looks little more than just slightly used now!!!
