Whoa, a beehaw post! Have you all recently rejoined with the wider fediverse? Heard good things about the community there, happy to see you in my feed

Our house is still being worked on, but hopefully it will be wrapped by the end of the month (press X, or some such). One of the new bedroom floors was finished so we were finally able to change the scenery if not the fact that all of us are still sleeping in one room. But moving everyone out of the room we had been sleeping in allowed me to rip out the old carpet, fix the subfloor, and put down the flooring I had saved during demo so at least my wife now has an honest-to-goodness home office for her wfh days. Code enforcement is coming tomorrow for our "final inspection" but I don't know how that will go since the plumber didn't bother to show up today to finish his work.

We're so behind schedule on the renovation that I've been doing the things we're ostensibly paying people to do just to get things finished, but I'm unsure how claiming hourly trade wages against what we still owe for work is supposed to go. Seriously, I've done so much trade work that I haven't been to my markets (where I make my income) in over a month.

At least my wife's new office looks nice

Its been a week. Writing a little behind for Substack, got a creative nonfiction piece accepted into the regional writers magazine, dog ate the carpet and shart it. No one prepares you for wooly carpet poop. Nobody.

Weight training is going well. Hitting new PRs (425# sled pull, 315# deadlift...and I thought I'd use KG in Canada. Sad.).

Trying to coordinate a trash pickup so I can pickup the enormous amount of trash in and around our community. Sad of seeing it, sad of people not caring. I will thus fix it for personal and environmental satisfaction.

All in all, not bad. Not great. Right in the middle.

So this has happened three times in the past half hour or so.

1. Open Solidworks
2. Export a .step file
3. Close Solidworks
4. It crashes instead
5. The Solidworks crash reporter crashes

Task failed succesfully?

a bit stressed with the amount of upcoming responsibilities next month (new job, new pet, old pet having health problems, gf having health problems), but hoping I'll manage

It's been good! I've been trying to be more conscious about carving out time for little things that improve my quality of life, like exercising and reading, and this week I felt like I had a really good handle on that. And I'm capping it off with a fantastic weekend - just got out of an almost 4.5 hour Sasha & John Digweed set, and later I'm going over to a friend's house for pancakes and mimosas whenever I manage to drag myself up.
