I rarely even see small amounts of surface water there, so this is nowhere near normal! It was drainage overflow, mainy properties of collected water running downhill.

I found my NEC 40" a home on my desk. It's far too laggy for gaming, but I've found it ideal for my CAD work. It needs a little color calibration, but nothing that needs immediate attention.
I also was in need of a new keyboard. I know there are a ton of options out there, but I went with a Logitech G810. I've been using Logitech peripherals almost exclusively for at least 10 years now, and every time I've strayed, it's not been for long. My previous keyboard was a G710+ that I'd hammered on for quite a few years. If I have any complaint about the G810, it's that the RGB version of white. seems to have a bluish tint.

My car broke down, so spent half the day organising that and finding a way to fund it. Luckily I had already dropped my children off at school. Unluckily, I then had to walk to work. :/
1km, thankfully.
I am borrowing a car till mine is fixed, because while school to work is 1km, I live 5km from the school, and walking there at 6:30am doesn't sound ideal with two children in tow!

Out with the old, in with the new:
Also swapped the OEM exhaust onto the bike. No more throaty V4 rumble, but I can leave for work in the wee early hours of the morning now without earning the ire of the neighbours.

So.. after having been watching a bunny and a house for around 2/3 of last week I could finally start getting some stuff done to my desk setup, picked up a monitor stand I had ordered which I've so wanted to get, mainly so I can use the computer without hunching forward..
44mm hole saw and a weak ass drill made me glad I had a porous tabletop, glad I actually got a clean result though!
Now I am contemplating how form fitting I want to make the deskmat to the monitor stand base as well as planning how I want to manage the cables.
Also having an eye rest day... at least a minor one, would take a nice refreshing walk for them but... slush, ice and water with a bit of snow and a ton of road salt makes me say NOPE!
Makes me wish I lived way out in the woods again..

I just shovelled 3 metric tonnes of sand into the sandpit I built for my son's birthday.
2400mm x 2400mm x 400mm deep. It'll hold 4 kids comfortably with two Tonka trucks each!

Protip: be sure to make a cover for the sandbox so the neighbour's cats don't use the pit as their outdoor litter box. They are disgusting critters and they love to crap in sandboxes.
Over the last two days I've been wading through posts I've missed. 110 down, 70 to go. This community has grown a lot.
Yeah. Every morning when I wake up there's a page 2 to go through and reading boards is pretty much the last thing I do at night. Nice to see so many people passionate about SFF.
Got my car back from the mechanics. Replaced: one x dead starter motor. Cost of repair - $600 NZD. Cost to me - $100. Mechanical Insurance/warranty rocks.
In NZ we call those ones 'a slight shake'

@confusis same in AK.
Last spring we had a 7.1 and I remember waking up and thinking "huh this has been going on for a while, maybe I should do something" and promptly falling back asleep.

Went to visit the booth where they were showcasing the specced-out NFC S4 Mini in the IT show just now. Holy crap it's small and light o_o
Guy at the booth asked me to try playing DOOM on the PC that's been running since 9AM (was 8.30PM when I visited). To be honest I'm more interested in the PC than the game ,_,
Only had pics of the one case in the display shield. Too shy to take pics of the actual PC while the rest is playing ;_;
EDIT: DEUM, not Quake. pleh

Finally got around to upgrading the horrible 45% sRGB panel in my P50 with a decent 72% panel that's also 50 nits brighter.
Also converted this Soviet CVC helmet from 1984 to work with Western electronics as a...unique headset.
No crappy tank intercom and throat mic for me! I used an Antlion ModMic and salvaged the drivers from a Sennheiser HD202.
