You break it, we fix it – lived the life of ‘Bob the Builder’ today

– PC reinstall with USB media : found no USB thumb drive at the world of Cloud, so had to order Amazon’s same day delivery and made the USB repair/installation media and recovered a PC which turned to black screen upon every boot

As our gentleman in the house -who never sits straight while putting more weights on chairs- have more time at home with various chairs because of Pandemic, this meant my chair repairing skill goes beyond the wood chair repair

– Plastic chair with broken back: after failed attempt with Super glue, went to epoxy glue. As the broken part was highly visible part of chair, had to go with multiple sanding after the glue and spraying paint and coating with Polyurethane.

– Bent Steel folding chair with disjointed horizon bar: so after using hammer and bring back the bent part, the question was whether I am willing to go into welding (which I don’t have any tools…) so settled with steel epoxy…

– Office chair: This is the still one of the mystery need to solve – how can you rock the rolling office chair?! But our gentleman must have showed that skill before he broke the chair. Similarly my first attempt with Super glue didn’t last long, so attempted with epoxy glue, but as this doesn’t have much visibility I am not willing to go into sanding/coloring part..

All in all, total four items in my household got the treatment, Home Depot and Amazon was the winner and I enjoyed smells from various chemicals (and now I understand why they check the birth date when I purchased the spray can..)

Now another shortage…SPAM

SPAM shortage? Pandemic leads to production problems – Honolulu, Hawaii news, sports & weather – KITV Channel 4

Not a surprise that this is a critical news in Hawaii, but I came to this news after wondering why I couldn’t find SPAM at Costco and Walmart in last few visits. Found reasonable package at Amazon and ordered thru it..

At the end – this is all because of stupxx pandemic (now I hate this more and more….this had enough of us..) and Amazon continues to be the winner πŸ™‚

Shortage & Pandemic

Stumbled into this message at office (I make 1-2 hours visit to office on Thursdays to make sure I have stable connection..) upon trying to pick my favorite Ginger Ale from office fridge…. Another shortage thanks to Pandemic, Wipes, Hand Sanitizer, Masks, Toilet Tissues, Woods, and now Aluminum Cans?

Aluminum can shortage: Beer, soda companies can’t keep up with demand (usatoday.com)

Few years ago, WFH meant “I can not come to the meeting – and maybe or may not be even reachable”, while that is now “I am reachable and work 24 hours” πŸ™‚ Thought Door Dash, Grubhub, Instacart kind of business’ going away is a matter of time, but they are flourishing.. Amazon slashed restaurant delivery and their PrimeNow was not in a good shape but now it is essential part of Amazon’s business..

Now Home Depot & Lowe’s are running high and price of wood has rocketed up..

Pandemic is so epic!!

iHealth KN95 Face Mask

20200608_155900

Interestingly Wyze the manufacturer of Wyze cam started to sell KN95 masks, so I had no idea but bought it. and now I realize KN is Chinese Standard (I thought this was a KF.. Korean Standard)

So started with a little concern that quality report/certificate being in Chinese πŸ™‚ but at the same time part of my thought was “This is the masks people use at the ‘origin'(?) of this- or to be exact where this first started” so all of sudden gave me a good confidence – maybe another ‘halo effect’? πŸ™‚ Yes I am the stupid customer still prefer to pick Haagen Dazs than others because of the brand name being German… πŸ™‚

Anyhow – good mask.. especially for people like me who have a large head/face πŸ™‚ – I have a big head and have to have bigger than 7 1/2 for fitted cap…
