Pterodactyl sounds!!

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.

I've done what I call a 'good engineering fix' to a garage door opener. It now works fine on my bench power supply and the fob needs its surface Mount switches replacing so requires a knack to use.

It functions, I understand how it failed and what I need to do to make it work properly... So job done!

It'll now live in my pile of technical crap for the next decade.

I'm not sleeping well. i can't get my environment in order so i can't start anything. i can't clean up because much of the clutter are someone else's things. i can't ask them to clean or get permission to clean because it's too much anxiety.

I have a bandaid on my index finger. And I am now very aware of how much I lick food (my own food I'm not a professional chef cooking for other people) off my fingers. Also bandaids taste bad no matter how much chocolate they are covered in.
