Taking a break from one technology and getting a little, very little bit of shop time in today...

This past week I spent in a training boot camp as it were for study for my Red Hat Certified Engineers exam, only to realize that the class wasn't nearly long enough to cover all the new material to be tested on. But at least they gave us the books to study, and I can whip up a virtual machine pretty quick....

With my head in virtual meltdown mode, and fighting off some sort of respiratory and now ear infection, I opted to spend a little bit of time relaxing, and, well trying to get a few of the items on my to do list into the DONE pile...

I have moved the music equipment from the master bedroom into where the music room / recording studio / and home office will be. The String Swing mounts went up, and I made a HUGE mistake measuring for the holes. I assumed String Swing had them evenly spaced from the sides... They did not, so my mount blocks are somewhat off kilter. (grumble grumble...). I did luck out though, the spot where the Ibanez SR480 is now hanging, was directly over a stud. So I have rock solid mounting for my good bass. The old bang around bass however, not so much...

I dug up some wiring raceway that I had left over from an ethernet project from years past, and will use that for running the audio cables over the doorway from amp line out to mixer in.

I spent some time again covering my wife's flower pots that are sucking up my workbench wWith ith white paint. I REALLY need to get that shop straightened up! The Faux Talavera pot project is taking up far too much time, and I wasn't really expecting this to be a me only project... I need to con my wife into coming out to the shop and grabbing a brush for her flower pots...

I have been working on editing audio, and videos now for FAR too long, for me to FINALLY realize that my Galaxy S4 takes FAR better video than my 2006 digital camcorder. And better photos than my 2009 Digital Camera...

With that being said, I went ahead and ordered up  a tripod mount for the phone. I am thinking about grabbing one of those grabby little flexible tripods that grips stuff for doing things like under car video shoots. I REALLY need to use one for moving forward with the trailer wiring / LED mod project. It kind of has me stuck since I am trying to do it as a video project for you guys...

Well folks, it's time to hit the meds, and the books again. I already know I will be asleep before I get 3 pages into the reading again. Almost not worth it...
