Sitting on the couch waiting for UPS to deliver a part for one of my servers at work, then i'll have to go to work, install it, and hope it fixes the problem.

Hope your route isn't like mine. I don't get my UPS deliveries until the end of the day.

Watching the Hartford Marathon on TV and feeling guilty. Due to a stupid cold I caught, I won't even be able to run my 2-mile race tomorrow. :(

Homework. Had a cold all weekend and now I'm way behind. I don't think I'm going to manage the 90 pages I need read by 4:30PM today. Another 146 for tomorrow night's class, too.

I just re-insulated 154 square feet in my attic as a "test" run to help me decide if I'm going to re-insulate the whole thing. It went much quicker then I expected, as it only took me about 45 minutes to do 6 rolls. The hardest part is moving the 2x4's I'm using for support, and clearing debris out of the way. I'm going to take a quick shower, stock up on more beer, then run back to Lowes to get another car load (14 rolls) of insulation so I can start this project 1st thing tomorrow morning.

I'm going to be helping my dad with that same project soon. I haven't been really looking forward to it, hopefully it goes as well as for us.

This is going to be my first project. Also not really looking forward to it.

What am I doing right now? CFD. Because that's how I roll at 1:15AM (plus I'm way behind at work, and need to get fully caught up in the next week or two.)

Rounding up MULTIPLE layers of waterproof clothing + footwear, getting ready to start cooking my portion of tailgating food(appetizers today - scallops wrapped in bacon, crab cakes, stuffed portabella's) before I head over to Gillette Stadium for the Pats/Titans game. Right now it's looking like weather wise this could be the UGLIEST game out of the 75+ I've been too :eek: I'll take really cold and snowy any day over the cold, heavy rain!

Good luck Doc. We thought we would have similar conditions at the UConn game yesterday. The weather turned out to by mostly sunny, cold, with more than slight drunkenness.

It wasn't a bad as I thought it was going to be, once I got a rhythm going.

There was a shit load of wood boards up in my attic. I think the previous owner was trying to put down a ghetto floor up there, so I needed to move all of that out of the way. Plus there was just random garbage that I needed to clean out.

I was putting down about 100 sq feet an hour. It moves pretty fast when you don't have to do a lot of cutting. I started to get a head ache (probably from lack of eating) last night, so I quit with about 75% of the attic done. I'll do the rest next weekend. I'd say the "hardest" part of the project, was chucking all the rolls up into the attic.

I can already tell that the furnace is cycling on less. Lowes has R25 attic insulation on sale right now for $9.37 a roll (27.5 sq ft). That's half off the regular price, and since there's a 30% Tax Credit on energy efficient improvements this year, the timing couldn't have been better.
