Day 2997 Quiet now.

29th October 2025

We took the truck to the garage to get the wheel bearings replaced, it will be refreshing not to have the drone all the time.

If only we had a clear garage, I might even be tempted to fix things myself. I used to do all my own repairs back in the old days when I had little money. A car in those days was essential, being a contract draughtman I always had to travel long distances every day, so car repairs took up most of the weekends. The tools I carried around in the boot were quite extensive, I could change out the swivel joints and track rod ends by the side of the road. I changed wheel bearings, and constant velocity joints, well, I drove a British made car, so this was things I did often.

I’m still working through the software issues on the new computer, there is something weird with safari that I can’t get to the bottom of. When I want to go to a website, it just shows a blank screen. However using a different browser I managed to load another software package, another tick, only one more to go.

I have been a bit distracted recently with all the software issues, I haven’t been so attentive to the furniture side, but I did a chunk of work today. The cedar chest is ready for painting and another dresser should be finished tomorrow.
