Roof is now painted. And I am about done in. Quick trip to the PO and store and I\’m gonna call it a day…

Took a break and came down before I fell off. Gonna try to finish it soon as I get cooled off a bit.

Decided to go on and paint the wall first. Looks better anyway. Got all but 4 sections of the roof painted before getting dizzy from heat.

Guess I\’ll paint the roof in the morning and work on the wall after the sun gets off it tomorrow afternoon.

Just down from starting to caulk the east second floor wall. However, looks like it needs a new layer of plywood before I paint it.

UPS just ran. Got 300 grams of D-Ribose delivered to the door for less than I\’ve been paying for 250 grams AND driving to Gadsden to get.

Well, found the rollers, covers, pans, and one trim brush. No idea where my wide brushes are. Too hot now, will paint early tomorrow.

And it\’s already about too hot to try to paint the roof anyway. Guess I\’ll keep looking and get all the bits lined up for early tomorrow.

It\’s gonna be one of those days. Found the 5 gal bucket of paint, but can\’t find the brushes or rollers. Only 3 buildings left to check…

@BambiBlue Glad you got loose. Sounds like it would make a good show… 🙂

Just back from the auction. Got 4 20/75 watt cf light bulbs for $6.60 which is a bit better than store prices. Was quite a show tonight!

Trying to decide if I have enough energy and feel good enough to go to the auction tonight.

Got about a dozen boxes of glass and ceramic stuff unpacked and on shelving. Heading to the school to get more in a few.

Well, rain killed the flea market this morning. Guess we\’ll shoot for tomorrow. Hoping to get the inside room ready soon.

Got to order about $60 worth of parts to get the other 3 working right. Then they go up for sale.

And the amp will see an 8 ohm load as it was supposed to instead of a 4 ohm load as it actually was the way it came from the factory.

Just finished rewiring one of the monitor cabinets correctly and it works MUCH better now. As in the control actually controls the tweeter.

Think I will look at them again tomorrow and hit the sack tonight…

Not sure if it is just late or if the manufacturer (Sonic) screwed up or what. Doesn\’t look like they have been rewired.

Have 4 monitor speaker cabinets and the 3 I have checked have the tweeter control wired to control woofer AND tweeter. I don\’t understand.

Heading back out in a few to check some more places and to go get some wood for the table tops for the flea market tables.

Made a few good buys this morning. Got 4 pa speaker cabinets, some glass, light fixtures, box of cloth and other bits, but no books.

Getting a late start. Fixing to eat and then head out to the yard sales.

Am on my third day with less D-Ribose than usual. Yesterday there was only a bit left to take at breakfast, whereas the day before I only had maybe 6 grams. I can really tell it in my energy level. Just ain’t there. Gonna get cleaned up a bit and go get more.

Just about to give up the fight and move it all. I ended up changing it all back over to the old wordpress folder due to error pages showing up about the archives being changed. Now to find the pages that need changing and redo them. Back in a bit.

Got the pages changed out and was able to log in as a user and post a comment so guess that part is working.

Hoping I got the archive structure right in the settings. Will know if the error pages stop showing up.

Now off to add one more plugin and turn it on. More later…

Been trying to get it going all day but haven’t gotten near as much done as I needed to.

The server errors are getting to the point I am gonna move the sites soon. Have looked at several possible hosts and almost settled on 2. There is a fair cost difference between the two and will most likely go with the cheaper but still trying to make up my mind. Tis gonna be a lot of data to move and hate to do it but things are not getting any better so am gonna have to do something.

Spent far too much time today setting up a LAMP server on this machine here at home and then putting wordpress on it to check it all out. After I got the first copy working made a backup of the database for technoprimitive.org, copied the wp folder over and imported the backup. After some playing around with phpMyAdmin got it working on here. Now just got to backup another 7 or 8 other wp sites as well as several other database intensive sites and make sure I can get them all working after the move. Joy, joy, joy… 🙁

Not gonna do it tonight though. Done all I’m gonna do other than hit the publish button on here and then go to bed. Till tomorrow… 😉

Sierra Leone: Bio Diesel

Well it seemed all too easy in the end as we drove off with the Binkolo vehicle literally into the sunset, intoxicated with the sweet success of motoring under the power of palm nut oil. Actually the first noticeable difference was the surprising fried fish exhaust smell. Certainly no difference in power and engine noise and the town could still hear the whooping and hollering from the happy band of bio-dieselers being transported on a lap of honour. We had won the “Stanley Cup”.

Interesting article on making Bio Diesel out of palm nuts using very primitive equipment that they made or scrounged. Good stuff!
