Outdoor cameras

Made a run to Home Depot this evening. Got more fence slats plus a 4x4. That should let me get the rest of the first section of fence completed and start on the next section. Also got some hinges and a sliding latch to install a gate to keep the dogs out from between the house and the north fence. (Another place they crap to "mark their territory" against the neighbors dogs on the other side of the fence.)

Came back home and began the hunt for the lower end of the camera cables I dropped down the old heater vent. That took a bit more effort than I had counted on. Thanks to the freaky construction of this house again. Plus came across two deserted rodent nests in the wall. One of which contained an old sock of my daughter's. Unless it's much older. The vent did not reach the floor and was sealed at the bottom. I eventually found it had a stucco and metal lath plug in the vent, then had been patched into the wall. Eventually, I got the cables run through to the front room and hooked up. 

Turns out the resolution under IR light really isn't so good. Extremely grainy. I may wind up getting a couple of higher resolution cameras. Or some IR lights. Not sure if resolution helps that much with night vision, which is always fairly grainy. Wait and see how the picture looks in the daytime. It does look better when the front light is on. 

Work was neither great nor terrible today. Had 80 cases. Glad I wasn't sick any more.

More proof of just how stupid these dogs are. I have two bags of dry concrete in the back yard. The dogs tore two of them open. It actually looks like they may have eaten some of it. How the hell do you protect an animal (from it self) who is so stupid that it eats ground up f'ing rocks?!!
