That’s great though! What was “sloppy”?
I used to be good with those crappy plastic cubes.
Old times… I cant solve one today withouth peeking at the algorithm.
Signing up for a Covid shot. Who knows how long the wait is. I was out of town when I became elligable so I am in the back of the line.
Edit: Surprisingly I was able to book a shot on Monday morning at the Walgreens a neighboring county. Second round a month later. I’ll be glad to get that over with. As a counter to any ban affect from the shot I may buy myself a new yoyo as a get well soon present.

I may need some help on this one @Niekro! I had to build a platform with supports on each side to give myself something to stand on. It took everything I had to drag the contraption up onto the ridge of the roof and slide it over into place against the chimney. Tomorrow I’m gonna make a modification to it and then secure it to the chimney. I’ll have to mix mortar on the ground in a bucket and haul it up with a rope, then replace about 15 bricks and repoint the chimney. It’s gonna be an intense day! I’d estimate I’m about 40’ up in the air! I’m thinking about fashioning a harness out of rope OG repelling style and secure myself to the chimney to be safe.

Day one of the chimney repair went well. I was able to secure the homemade platform and had no issues working off of it today. Used about 60 pounds of mortar and was able to do a lot, but still have two courses to go to finish. Ended up having to replace more than expected as it seemed like any brick that I even touched wiggled loose and had to be removed, cleaned and replaced. Fashioned a pulley system for a rope and bucket which I made my wife continually fill with fresh mortar, water, and snacks while I spent about 6 hrs confined to a 2ft x 4ft piece of plywood perched on top of the ridge. I ended up feeling stable enough to go without being tied in with a homemade harness or anything.
Sore and tired now. Good times.
