after snowing on and off all of yesterday, it is once again sunny here; unfortunately, this mostly just means ice everywhere because it's still freezing

I replaced most of the lights in the basement, rewired stuff so it wasn't switched on the neutral leg anymore too (seriously, who does that?). Pretty sure I had to deal with some sort of FNG today, I was getting all sorts of weird questions. (Note: These are all standards, if someone at the level this dude is supposed to be at is asking these kinds of questions...um....yeah.)

"Hey, what the hell kind of security screw is this?"
"Um.....it's a Phillips #2, although if you push hard enough a Phillips #1 might also work."
Somehow, that wasn't the mist bizarre question out of someone who really should not have been asking questions like that today.

I did get my full wellness reward at work, so my wife and I used part of it to get new heart rate chest straps so that's kind of exciting.
