Electricity

Posted at 7:34 pm MDT to Miscellaneous

On Thursday and Friday, people and equipment are going to arrive here. By Saturday, I should have a new breaker panel, my power lines will be underground, half of my front porch will be rebuilt and a guardrail added, and my driveway will be filled in with stone chips and road base and re-graded.

This should leave me in pretty good shape for the winter.

In other news, the CustomerPortal was turned over late last night for the users to review.

And I have two pies in the oven. Sort of. It's a good thing I am the only one who will see them: I really can't do decent pie crusts. Though I suspect part of the problem is that my Mom's pie crust recipe was made for a much more humid climate. If I made pies every week for a couple of months, I might figure out the proportion of liquid needed to get a rollable crust. Not going to happen unless I go on a pot-pie diet with pie for desert...

I will probably look at the manuals for the server components later, or maybe read some of the admin manual I bought last week. I need to get to be early tonight for a change, and if I start building the server tonight I will probably a. stay up too late and b. make mistakes. Possibly expensive mistakes. Besides, building computers always involves a blood sacrifice, but there's no sense volunteering for anything worse than skinned knuckles or a sheet metal papercut. I'll start assembly tomorrow -- after the cleaning ladies have been through -- and leave everything safely in their packages until then.
