today

After spending way too much time over the last year slowly improving (and
as often as not, breaking…) some code thats the core of what I work on,
I realize I have more info available than I thought and can simplify the
code greatly. Only took staring at the code for probably 200 hours.

Driving to/from work today I noticed my car making a strange noise
from what seemed to be the right rear wheel. It got louder while
making right turns, though could be heard a little while
driving strait. Applying the brakes makes it stop. It occurs
to me “It’s almost like the wheel is loose”. Get home, grab
the maglight, check out the wheels. Yup. Right rear wheel
has three lug nuts lose enough I can turn them with my
fingers. Yikes. That wheel hasn’t been off since I got
new tires ~8 months ago, so must of just worked loose.

Went to see Battles in Carrboro. Battles was freaking
amazing again.
