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.

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.

My week is usually busy, I got work, then a workout, some rest in between. But I got a lot on my plate, today after work I wanted to go to the gym but got no time.
My NAS has all the pieces and is ready.
But you know what is missing, TIME, I need TIME.
Each day I knock of little things, organize the garage, document a plan, record some changes. But I need a nice long chunk of time to do the install and record it properly.

Weekend felt short, technically it was, due to the annual Spring Forward. Excited for spring to get here. Started Spring cleaning.
Not that I have been idle this weekend, I got a lot done. Garage needs constant work, I think this will be permanent.
I am tired, but seeing good progress.
Need To Hit Gym, I am not active enough, my body is in equilibrium, I intake the same as I output. I need to push a bit to start bringing my weight down.
Going to see if I can burn 90 minutes in the gym this week. Hoping to crack 320 officially by end of next week.

Been trying to organize the garage, it is frustrating looking for stuff. Also could be in the shed.
I admit it is time to clean stuff up. Spring will be here in a week, so getting started with spring cleaning.
Shed needs an audit as well.
Borrowing space in living room so I can move around in the garage.

Moving from all over the house (living room, dining room, office) to the garage for my printing workflow. I will still initiate from my desk and watch whereever from my phone, but I want to get all the filament and assembly in to the garage and take back my work bench.
I know wife wanted me to clear out the dining room table, so I will hit there first.
If I do work else where, I would like it to be quick less than a weekend.

A scan at work on my Linux admin box is triggering some security alerts. It looks like it is scanning my home directory and not the OS directory.
Frustration is high because those are just templates, not config files for real systems.
Someone did give me some advice though.
“Study to pass the test, not to learn the materials”
I took that to heart. I simply tar’d up the folder and deleted the source. When I need it I will unroll the tar ball.

Ah yes, I used my 3D printer to solve a problem on my label printer.
I wanted to buy another Dymo label printer from ebay. I noticed some of them were missing the print spool.
So I printed a model I found on the the internet and it works.
Now I can get that cheap printer.
