The Virus Day 15, Dimondale, MI
All well. See that mouse though? Not well, but I fixed it. Again. We kept meaning to get another one but just never got around to it. The right button stopped working. I had to scratch off some of the green board insulation to expose the copper trace and jumper the switch connections with globs of solder. Gave it some strength with hot clue on the sides of the tiny switch inside. Electronic microsurgery. No idea how long it might last. Hopefully longer than this virus crisis.
Glad I have some useful skills during all this. I’ve always been pretty good at fixing things. Making not so much unless its some invention for some practical short term purpose at home. I have vast numbers of ideas though for all sorts of world-changing inventions. Money is always the issue to seem them through though. I have dreams of making energy harnessing devices. Both involve using flywheels as storage. One to capture the energy from a bolt of lightning. The other to capture energy from a hurricane or a tornado.
Speaking of weather, its crap again today and until Thursday maybe. Watering the spinach in the greenhouse is about all I’ll get done outside probably today.
We got a small care package again from Brooke’s mom and stepdad. It was all wiped down with bleach wipes. They have been extremely cautious as he already has a lung condition. So far so good. Brooke’s sister is working on some crafts and is stopping by for a porch pick up of some supplies we happened to have. Probably chat through the closed door for a bit.
Be well, everyone!
