Got a Knape & Vogt Recycling Center yesterday. Doesn't quite fit in the corner cabinet, but I'm working on some modifications to get it rotating smoothly. Basically, it's just the plastic bins that stick out too far. So I just need to trim them down so that they do fit. But once I do get it right, it'll be pretty sweet. Trash, recycling, all in a corner cabinet that we weren't going to use anyway. I'm optimistic. Also got a new helmet, a replacement really, another Bell Metropolis. Always good to have a spare. Started discharging the Candela lights, as per the instruction manual. Have to go through a full discharge cycle once every 2 months, since they use old style NiCad batteries that have memory issues. But they are pretty sweet. Will definitely come in handy on the deck. Tracy had a craving for chili. Watched more Olympics. It's pretty hard not watching. She's working tomorrow, but not on Sunday, and having some friends over to possibly watch some planes. So if anyone's in town and not playing at a frisbee tourney, drop by, we'll be home. Still copying stuff to the Drobo. I think I should be done by the end of the weekend. It's been rock solid so far. I'm impressed. Right around 600 GB used, last I checked. Should be interesting to see what the final tally comes out to, and how much of that is either duplicate or temporary data (like EyeTV files that haven't been edited or converted yet.
