I have never gotten into ESO and it kinda makes me sad seeing as those are some of my favorite games on the planet. MMO's in general are bad voodoo for me as I fear I would enjoy them too much
 
Got today off cus I finished up my job yesterday. Filled in a couple carpet insets with backer board to flush out with the tile. More corner pieces with the base and some flexible base for the island curve. Batteries died on my electric pencil sharpener so I had to break out ol pink again.

In that next to the last photo with the curved Island, I'm assuming that's MDF? I had a tighter curve than that to do and it was an inside curve. We ordered some of that rubber base. It actually behaved pretty well. Because of being flexible they don't want you putting that down straight walls because it's not stiff enough.
I'm glad that you did that job because it wouldn't be done yet if I was doing it. Who knows when it would be done. 😁
I bet the customer is happy as hell because it makes the room feel so much larger.

Flexible rubber base was ordered for that curve. I took 6 days on that job. That’s about 200 sq ft a day which is about right with furniture n all that jazz and I usually bail about 2 to 3.

This customer gave me a credenza so I put some wheels on it and cut a hole for the beer tin.

Highup, that sounds like a lot of work.

CJ, that looks great!

Mark, I played the other Elder Scroll games as well. I made some custom content for Morrowind (but didn't upload it). I hated that we didn't have decent tower shields so I made my own. Sadly, that was lost on my old hard drive (and my backup drive took a crap). I enjoy ESO although the lag gets frustrating. I love playing a khajit. The graphics in it are gorgeous. I particularly like an area called Artaeum. It is set in a different plane than Nirn so it has more than one moon or maybe it's other planes or suns. Not sure, but the skyline is beautiful. There are beautiful ocean views and it's nice and green. It also has about 15 treasure chests around the island so I like to go around opening them.
My khajiit sorcerer on her psijic horsey is in one pic and the rest are other screenshots from the area.
Last pic is my Argonian character with her camel mount and packrat vanity pet.

I got to play for quite awhile today and had fun.

I did go out and do a 2nd coat of paint on the boards. They are still rough but I don't really care. I'm going to see if my friend is available tomorrow to help me mount them to the wall.

I hate you right now because right now is when I am contemplating getting a subscription to ESO... I played the balls of Morrowind and Oblivion. I completed Skyrim but never really fell in love. I think it was just too bleak for me, I am bleak enough in my everyday that I want to escape to something beautiful, not more darkness
:)

But dark is interesting and it's not what people think it is.

Well what is there to lose.....
https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p...7emUnCwtcNa9seDKFYEaAidtEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.dsAbout a month and a half ago I replaced my intake gaskets. I discovered after the fact that the same corner where the manifold leaked, there was a miniscule head gasket leak. It leaks so little that water never even hits the ground..... but it's still a head gasket leak. I didn't want to just use a radiator type sealer. I spent a lot of time flushing the engine during the manifold gasket replacement, so this is the time to try a "real" sealer. The cooling system needs to be clean for this stuff
I've done two flushes with cleaner and it's rinsed clean.
After pouring this in, the engine needs to idle for 50 minutes without the thermostat installed so the water circulates continuously. It's some sort of polymer. It's clear, no bits and pieces floating around. Tomorrow's the day, then I can finally put antifreeze back in.

There are some dark areas in ESO, but there are also a lot of light ones. The Summerset expansion is definitely worth getting. I really enjoy the game and right now there is an event going on.

I went to the grocery store yesterday but rested and played ESO today. Still not feeling great. I've been forgetting to take my vitamins.

Does it get cold enough for antifreeze there?
 
We put a stainless steel cap on the chapel bell tower at the Navy base. I supervised and inspected the work. The old roof blew off due to heavy winds.

Everytime I see the fluer de lis (sp?) I laugh because a friend of mine from France was telling me it was the symbol for prostitutes. They were put on the doors/sides of buildings that housed prostitutes. Yet it is one of the main symbols representing Louisiana. LOL.

I helped my brother take out the trash because his back was hurting, replaced trash bags in the trash cans, cleaned the counters (which get dirty fast with muddy cat paws), went to the post office, brought my friend over to mount my monitor to the wall (I guessed wrong on the height so it's a bit higher than I'm comfortable with, but I'll get used to it. I plan to make my bed taller anyway). The wood I used is very solid- so solid that the drill bit (an old good quality one- not the cheap made-in-china crap they sell nowadays) had trouble going through it. Not sure what kind of wood it is, but it's a hardwood for certain. I wish the arm for the monitor mount was a bit longer or that I'd added another board to bump it out even more, but for now it will have to do. Getting it up was a royal pain. I'm going to have trouble with my object search games with the height and distance. May end up having to find my computer glasses & see if they work. Or see if mom has a pair I can use. I grabbed my friend some Popeyes. He also mounted a paper towel holder for me. My shoulder wouldn't cooperate to push upward on the screws.

The monitor is mounted high enough that my speakers can fit under it and the cats don't block quite as much-- although Bethesda is doing a good job of blocking my screen right now. LOL. She just found a used q-tip to chew on. I used it to clean the keyboard. Now I need to make myself a new desk or extend the back of the desk a little more so I can keep the subwoofer from falling off the back.

While my friend was mounting the boards to the wall he commented about how it would be funny if he found my phone. Then a few moments later he made a sound and handed me my phone. It was behind my desk under some papers. He moved the papers because he dropped a screw and was trying to retrieve it.

The new monitor has a nice picture. About the same as the old one really.

This is what I was dealing with on the old one though. Developed these lines. And yes, I do have a lot of tabs open. LOL.

I took my friend to the store afterward and bought him some laundry detergent since he was out & his check hasn't landed yet. I asked mom if she wanted something from in town before I left. She said "No". I made sure to ask more than once just in case. She was adamant. But when I got back she asked me why I didn't get her a Big Mac (since it's Monday). I told her she said she didn't want one. She claimed I didn't ask her. I told her I asked her 5 times and she said no. She said she didn't remember me asking. But I cooked for her so she was happy. She had baked potato and tilapia.

Right now my phone is charging, the dog is snoring, and the fat cat is sleeping on my keyboard cover.
