Came back to edit this post. It is spring 2026 and it felt like it.
Cool evening walk vs cold evening walk.
Here is this spring goal, drop under 305!!!
Huge Progress In Garage
Kids helped me clean up the garage.
The progress is actually visible.
There is an outside chance I will be finished with it this weekend.
We will see.
Weight: 320.8
Technically I can still go to the gym tomorrow, but I have plans and pretty sure it will be hard fitting in a gym workout.
With that said, I felt great on the gym today, averaged 3.0 MPH which is pretty good for me.
I don’t feel too sore either, when weather improves hoping my body doesn’t ache as much.
Weight: 317,0
It has been a while but I truly feel things are coming together.
Still a ways to go, but I have hope that this and next weekend will mark the completion of the garage.
Going to start getting visibly better. I can move around in the garage and my office. Spring is just around the corner and looking like we are going to have a decent spring cleaning.
Going to push hard to get the garage done this week or next week,
Yard is going to look great too, that will be soon. Downstairs will happen in June or July.

Finally took the next step in my gridfinity journey. Took a while, this journey started a year ago.
Looks way better than just boxes
Those are STL I downloaded from the net, here are ones I scanned and created
First successful ones.
This website helped me

Also looking at building a netbox server, something to help manage the network. More on that later. Just built the OS.
Weight, stayed under 320, but so close.
Weight: 319.8
Still way too much stuff to do, but I got a bit done today. I got my KVM in and needed some other connectors.
Getting things 3D printed for Gridfinity organization.
Also purchased boxes of the same size for my filament.
Starting to label where things go too, but some in house think I should use more colorful stuff.
Also hit another goal, I am officially under 320lbs because today is the 3rd consecutive day.
Don’t get too excited with the weight below. A lot of it is water.
Weight: 317.6
Garage is coming together, I actually have space to do work and my workbench has space.
Need to work on the tool cart tomorrow, not the bench.
Also cleared out a drawer and made space for 3D parts.
Still waiting on another Dymo Label printer, but just adding piece by piece.
Weight: 319.0
Almost spring, but winter decided to give us one last parting gift… snow
Still I decided to go and get my mile
May have been a mistake, slipped a few times
Am done though, home safe, goal met.
Also drove all the way to Parkland to pick up my son, his Civic could have made it, but I did not want him to risk it.

Recall on March 4, I posted a functional part I could print to get a Dymo Labelwriter to work.
A lot of the ones you find on ebay are either missing the spool (which is hard to buy easy to make) or missing the power adapter which is an unusual 24V DC barrel one.
The power adapter came in yesterday and it was 15.46, the printer itself cost me 35.93, so 51.39 which includes both shipping and taxes.
Most of these on ebay are listed at 60.00 before shipping and taxes. I get why the person sold it, it was jammed with a label, a simple cleaning fixed it. Now I got another printer which will sit in the garage while I organize things.
Hoping labeling things will also improve efficiency in the future.
As a side bonus, this is the last model line of Dymo Printers that do not have DRM.

I having enough with bad power supplies. This one caused me problems over the year
This one was cheap years ago, now it shoud be e-waste.
This failed before I finished clearing out data on my jbod.
Windstorm hitting us at a bad time and flickering the lights.
Weight: 320.2
I give up, I tried two 9 port NVME to SATA connectors, I have decided to stick with the 6 port one which is more stable.
The one you see here is a True ASMEDIA controller, the two 9 port ones are not.
Going to play with it a bit, also I got the remainder 2 drives connected via USB.
