I don’t remember the last time I was sick, let alone for more than a day or two….but these past two weeks just kicked my ass. Wasn’t Covid, but after two rounds of antibiotics, steroids etc the fog finally lifted this weekend and I was able to get some fresh air and start feeling somewhat “normal” again.

Glad you are on the mend. Around Christmas time, I had a nasty strain of the regular flu with a fever that burned for over two weeks. I've had COVID twice, alpha and omicron. Not that those were fun but this run of Influenza A and the secondary lung infection were much worse.

Coincidentally, I was in for a routine appointment at the medical center today. I snapped a carry pic in the parking garage:

I had a long slate of games in the gym yesterday on the final weekend of our regular season and got home late afternoon to relax in my chair and watch what remained of the two conference final football games. I carried my re-scaled Kapara yesterday, but managed no pics and figured I might as well pocket it again for Micarta Monday.

Very Very Nice. Which Spyderco is this? I want one.
 
After my manager asked to borrow my knife, (Dude knows all about me, he was over at my house on Thanksgiving and I handed him an XL Espada to carve the turkey), a Spyderco Advocate, and used it to cut gunk off the bottom of a metal cart wheel... I decided to renew my efforts to carry a cheaper beater like a gifted Chinese flipper or a Mercator K55. The Mercator and Douk type knives are So skinny and thin it is unbelievable. So convenient.

Also, my fiance got me a pocket protector after hearing me complain about worrying my prybar would mess up the finish on some knives bumping in my pocket. Love it! Gonna make my own next.

Did the dropped phase get resolved?

Yes and no. The call came from harbor freight with lights strobing and a godawful sound next door in the unoccupied unit. The problem in harbor freight was on the power company’s end. Transformer went bad. The noise next door was that single phase transformer on the house panel. Sizzling, and arcing. Started throwing the breaker. Lot of things going on and not real sure if they’re connected but I’d assume they are in some way.

Harbor freight is who called/hired us, the house panel is on the building owner, which fires up the building lights and parking lot lights. Instead of just letting us do a few things to get the lights burning without the dry type transformer he wanted to call around. Then calls back later saying he’s needing it on bc of a safety issue in parking lot. Now it’s sleeting and snowing here…..

Sounds like a messed up situation made worse by a slightly irresponsible building owner and compounded with weather. Hopefully daylight brings better things.
