Things accomplished yesterday night and so far today:
Towels done in the laundry last night. Nice. Sheets done this morning. Nice. Early winter jacket in the dryer and my older but fluffier winter jacket out of the closet. It's not as fluffy as it used to be but it's still warmer than the early winter jacket.
Resurrected my housemates old Windows 7 machine with a BIOS update. Upgraded said machine with a M.2 SATA drive, and installed Linux Mint. The M.2 is faster than a solid state SATA drive so it flies. I'm not a big fan of the graphics card that I've got in there but the machine is up and running. It's off the bench and set aside.
Diagnosed The Craiger with a dying graphics card and swapped in what I had on hand. It's no longer crashing after 15 minutes. Not happy about the graphics card I put in there but it works. I'll want to do more software updating on it. I want to update the OS to Ubuntu Studio but not use the main distribution, but start with Xbuntu (already installed) and adding the Ubuntu Studio package. I've been using the main Studio distro but it uses KDE instead which looks pretty but I just don't care for it. I prefer XFCE which is lighter and cleaner. This will be a test machine to see how the Studio package works before upgrading my main editing rig. Off the bench and set aside.
On the bench presently - an old Win 7 machine that I played with before and had some kind of Linux on it. I'm hoping to reload Windows 7 on it because you never know when you'll need a Windows 7 machine. The graphics card is appropriate to the age of the machine and I don't really care. The bench is now occupied.
Vacuumed the house.
Mopping the floors and cleaning the toilets will have to wait a little bit but it's on the to do list today.
Pausing for lunch now.
