Made it to #FABCONSQLCON26 in Atlanta. Getting my learn on today with Reid Havens and Steve Campbell

Used the trolley jack method to remove old fence posts, but instead of screwing the piece of 4 x 4 to the old post we used extra large c-clamps to hold the 4 x 4 to the post. Worked great. I think the high lift/farm jack with chain would have been faster/easier, but I didn’t have either.

Now to rest, before we start with setting the new posts tomorrow.

That feeling when you break your phillips head drill bit at the start of your project and don't have any spares on hand - and you've already been to the hardware store 3x this week.

2026 Property assessment values came out last week in our county. We've lived in our house for 18 years, the largest increase in valuation we've seen YOY until this year was 9%.

This year, they increased the valuation by 80%. That is NOT a type-o. Our county already pays the highest tax rate in our state, more than 20% of the next highest. I'm not receiving 20% more services than those other counties, so what are they doing with all that money?!

Here's hoping they don't go with a flat tax rate increase.

How's your Monday?

The FCC does not want you to see Stephen Colbert's interview with James Talarico. CBS caved and instructed Colbert not to show it on broadcast.

It can be shown online, however, since the FCC does not rule over streaming.

I don't usually watch Colbert's interviews, but I made an exception. It was mainly to piss off the FCC chair, but I did not regret it.

I suggest you do the same. It sure would be nice if we can bring up viewership through the roof.

And to the FCC, to borrow from Stephen, "FCC You!"
