Chair Can Be Fixed

Posted on July 31, 2023 by larry

Finally took a look at the chair again

Looks like the parts used for my chair are standard. So all I need to get is the new tilt part and the extension.

Also with the new part it will be stronger.

Weight Related Malfunctions

Posted on July 30, 2023 by larry

Hoping three malfunctions and I am done.

  1. Wife Fitbit went down – not me but it motivated her to go walking with me.
  2. Scale – Scale went crazy and was not able to measure my weight.
  3. Chair, broke because I leaned too much into it. to be fair I think I felt it giving in days ago.

But all got replacements today, wife got a samsung watch, I got a new scale, and the chair was replaced today.

My booty needs to get used to the new chair.

Slept a lot today, kind of worn down. even after I got up did not have energy to do stuff.

Scale back like I said.

No Weigh In Today

Posted on July 29, 2023 by larry

Got a new scale but have not set it up. But did well on the steps, got 12k steps.

Kind of exhausted after trying to do the 5k. Only did 1.5 miles but made it up during the day.

Purchased a Samsung watch for my wife and tried some new dim sum place.

So it was really busy even though I got a long nap.

Angry At Fitbit

Posted on July 28, 2023 by larry

They didn’t even try.

Anyway got this

Also no weigh in because guess what else broke.

Well not broke but can no longer register my weight is the scale.

RIP Fitbit

Posted on July 27, 2023 by larry

Another fitbit bites the dust.

My wife’s fitbit Sense wasn’t syncing so I attempted to reboot it but I think it bricked.

May get her a samsung watch instead.

Reached my fitbit goals, it still tracks.

Muscle Weight

Posted on July 26, 2023 by larry

Had a session with my personal trainer today. I am heavier butI seem to have more muscle.

Watched my son run today, he did great, cracked 5:30 on the mile.

Was able to recover some data from an encrypted drive.

Also been setting up more iot devices.

Would post more but it is late and need to get this post out.

Only need 2000 steps but stuck in traffic. Gonna assume I make it.

Butt Hurts

Posted on July 25, 2023 by larry

Not butthurt but butt hurts.

I knew yesterday I had a good workout yesterday and I was going to pay for it today. Sure enough, my booty hurts.

Got my first TPM 2.0 chip today for my old Supermicro motherboard. I rebuilt the OS and it is now using TPM and has bitlocker going.

I also got a weird relay board that uses an ESP-01. Looks like it communicates serially with the device to trigger the relays.

Beeping Notifications

Posted on July 24, 2023 by larry

There are times when I want to get audio notifications that aren’t a blazing loud.

So I build small beeper and put it on tasmota.

So now I am getting beeps when something happens by simply publishing Beep to the tasmota command for that unit.

Another thing I did today was create bridges from rf and homeassistant to mqtt. Basically I can subscribe to mqtt now and take action based on the payload.

Went to gym with son today, I think it is the change in pace that I need.

Garage To Basement

Posted on July 23, 2023 by larry

Moving operations from the garage to the basement.

Got a good PC down there and setup some lights.

I think the first order of business is to get a comfortable working station down there, got the PC, but need to reorient somethings.

Also need a better chair.

Also got wordpress to display custom PHP code, this will allow me to look up status of the home via wordpress.

Renton River Days 2023

Posted on July 22, 2023 by larry

Woke up today early, went to bed at 1AM and woke up at 6AM and stayed in bed for a bit.

My son ran 13miles (a half marathon) around Lake Young today. Weather was great for running. Started about 8/8:15 and was done about 10AM. He did his 1/2 marathon un under 1:50 which really is impressive.

After that we went home for a bit then headed to Renton River Days at about 11:30AM. Amazing he had energy to do that.

At 2:30 we got home and I slept another 4 hours to about 6:30.

Felt busy but basically just did RRD and a walk around Lake Young.

I am pretty sure I was lighter but forgot what I weighed in at, pretty sure I am bloated from something.

Weight: 344.2
