Some of those guys are just like a que ball, the harder you slap 'em, the more English you get out of them.

Happy soon-to-be 4th of July Strouty! Hopefully your 4th is relaxing and you can enjoy the holiday...even if that means working on your own stuff. Hopefully the only fireworks are of the pyrotechnic kind and not the family kind!

Ditto.
Woke up to a nasty calf spasm, I knew I was getting dehydrated, I didn’t have enough water with me last night while waiting for the tower guys, I am sure that put me over the edge. Guess I will have to drink a bit more today.
The plan is to start at the Hill and work my way over to the Salvage Garage. I have to make room to setup the label printers, I would like to clear some floor space as well, I really have to make room for stuff to start flowing from the Hill on a regular basis. Once I get the yard donkey home, I can start bringing trailers over. I figure the Muv-All will live at the Hill for the time being, I have a dump trailer and smaller box trailer that need to be brought over, I figure I can put stuff in both of them before hauling them over.
I need to list more things on Marketplace as well, what I have listed has stalled and I want to keep the momentum going. I will need to start hauling more stuff to the scrap yard as well, that means more disassembly and with that means more stuff to store. Have to get the QR code printing figured out ASAP so I have a good setup that isn’t going to bog me down when I least need it to.

How much do one of those lights weigh? And if you get a good system for tracking things, make sure you document it well so the rest of us can figure out how to do it too.
Once I figure out my workflow I will post more about it. I may be going a bit overkill for most applications. 
I would say 50 pounds or so on the weight of the lights, they are a bit awkward, but I didn't think they were that heavy. The glass is the heaviest part, the frame and base is all cast aluminum.

Sometime between last night and when I woke up this morning, I lost my pocket knife. I am willing to be it is at the site on the ground somewhere. I guess I can drop off a few things there and do a quick check. Last thing I wanted to do, but it isn't far away, this way I will probably have a better chance of finding it versus waiting and having someone else see it.
My entire plan for the day is essentially shifting away from where I wanted to go, but I have to do a bunch of stupid things that are creating problems for flow. I am walking around piles of ****, my desk spaces are covered with random stuff. Just way too much effort is being expended doing tasks that should not take any effort at all.
Of course it starts raining while I am typing this, got to move things around outside so they don’t get wet.

That's the wonderful thing about lists. So easy to shift to something else on the list. It's all progress.

Walk away from it and get a mental break. Maybe it's time to go look for your pocket knife at the site? Hopefully that can clear your head and you can get back into it.
Our own worst enemy is our own head. Regroup, eat, hydrate, and then try again.
Good luck!

I think right now my struggle is that I just want to get rid of some things, now, this minute, but I can’t because my dump trailer is being used elsewhere and the scrap yard isn’t open, and I can’t even load up the Muv-All because I need it Sunday to pick up the yard donkey. So I am just moving things around and it seems futile, I want to label things and start my organizing but I don’t have that figured out either. I feel like I have painted myself into a corner.
I can see some improvement on the mess that is in front of me, that is better than nothing, just need to pick a task I can finish or make a vast noticeable improvement on.

I am working on my QR code system, trying to make as much of it automated as possible, I can see that there are going to be some cumbersome aspects that need to be done properly or everything would be messed up. It looks like the link to the dropbox folder isn't an easy thing to automate or batch, that is going to ****. I have messed with the setup and dropbox is hands down the way to go, between the fact that you can rename or even move the folder, add, and delete files, all without breaking the link, that means the QR code data will be infinitely adjustable. From the dropbox mobile app, I can easily create a text file, take a picture, scan something, and instantly upload it to the folder. The one thing I need to confirm with dropbox is how they handle links, basically are they permanent or will they be deleted or changed at some time. I don't want to go through all this and have my QR code links broken next year.
Knife was not at the tower, not in either building, not at the gate. I know the building was the last place I used it, could be at the house, won’t know for a bit. I have lost it before and it turned back up, maybe I will get lucky again.
I had a list for today and got absolutely nothing checked off, frustrating, but not much I can do about it now. I still have to get tools and supplies together for tomorrow, got to suspend the furnace under the camp so I can dig 8” of dirt out from under it. They are scheduled for Monday to install the vapor barrier material.
I will need to go to the Salvage Garage at some point to test print some QR codes, I would like to do it tonight, but I don’t think I am going to have enough ambition left.

What will the file in Dropbox be, that the QR code will open? Do you want it to open an image, a document, or a pointer to a database record?
Do you have your own domain? I'm wondering if there's a neat way to do what you want to do without using a third party service.

I'm sorry to hear you misplaced your knife, I pulled a real ***** today, I went to mow weeds in a storage lot of mine, I got off the mower to move a rototiller and my phone must of fell out of my pocket. You guessed I hit it with the mower. It is not a happy phone. I guess tomorrow will be a new phone day.

I know more than a couple people that have done the same thing, for some reason I am not a destroyer of phones, IIRC, I have only cracked one screen. Thinking back through all my devices, I really miss my pager, the simple one way style. It was the least intrusive piece of instant notification I ever owned.

I was thinking that you could have some sort of redirect service, that you control, that could take a consistent URL scheme and point to wherever you want it to.
So, for example, https://strouty.net/qr_code_redirect.php?0001 redirects to Dropbox, or wherever. That way you could print a thousand QR codes in advance, and just update the redirect pointers as you stick them on stuff and upload some corresponding data. If Dropbox ever changes their URLs, you just update your pointers to a new location, and you don't have to swap out QR codes.
Otherwise, wouldn't you need to upload something to Dropbox first, get the share URL, then take that and print a corresponding QR code? Or am I missing something?
I can just add batches of empty folders on Dropbox and then pull links to those folders, by doing that I have easy access to the folder and from the app I can add anything I want to it. I do think the extra layer of links might not be the worst idea in the world, I just have to figure out how to do that.
One thing about QR codes that strikes me as odd and I don't quite understand, if you take the exact same hyperlink and create two codes, they are totally different from each other. How can they possibly have enough combinations to make the codes infinitely available??? Also how does one QR code generator know that it isn't creating another code? Maybe each generator has its own base structure, but even then, if I have an app that will create a code with no internet access, how could it possibly know if the same app on another computer hasn't already created that same code image?
OK, I think it makes sense, they must also use a signifier for your computer, my program makes the same code image if I use the same link.

QR codes are just text for scanners. If you generate a QR code for the exact same specific hyperlink from the same application on different platforms, they should be identical. If not, then there's some hidden subtext that the generator is inserting for its own purposes.

Good news, believe it or not, I put my cell back together and then reset it and it all works. I **** you not.
Time to sharpen your mower blades!

Why two QR Codes with the same URL can look different? | QR Planet
Every QR Code Generator uses different algorithms and also different encodings. Another possibility are different error correction levels (L, M, Q or H).
qrplanet.com
QR Codes might be encoded with a different algorithm or encoding (Numeric, Alphanumeric, Byte Mode, Kanji Mode, ECI Mode).
QR Codes might be encoded with a different error correction level (L, M, Q or H). The higher the error correction is set the bigger the QR Code gets.
