_liner notes_:
- Saturday : I think there is definitely something up with my van's battery. Got ready to head to the station and the car wouldn't start. I jump started the car and it was fine for the rest of the day and even started on Sunday. So I made it to the station a little earlier and got a chance to record a quick drop for a friend's podcast. Did the show and had a pretty good time as usual. The recording of this week's show is at https://kNOwBETTERHIPHOP.com

- Sunday : I was worried that the van wouldn't start, but it did. Made it back to my spot and did the https://untilit.works cyphers. It was pretty productive. A shelf in my van fell so I put it back up and ordered some parts to fix it. Worked on my side project and got some data to show up on the front end.

- Professional : Had 3 back to back meetings to start the day. Did a bunch of research trying to make a refactoring of a demo I'm working on work how to me it's presented as. Did a bunch of coding to try and get some data passed to the webhook, but nothing was working. I finally sent a message to a Slack channel to see if anyone had any ideas and went to have lunch. After lunch, there weren't any responses so I went back to the documentation. I decided to try and look for an answer in another section. Then I found a random sidenote that turned out to be what I needed to get things to work. I tested it, got the info I was looking for sent to the webhook and then refactored the demo and got things working properly. I was pretty happy about it. After that I reviewed some updates to some tutorials and lost track of time.

- Personal : I finished up "The Promise Neverland" series. Pretty good ending. I'm starting "Zom 100" and watched like one episode. The 4th just came out, so I'm not too far behind. Also watched the latest episode of "Bleach". Aside from some styling that I'll probably do later, I got the front page of my side project working. I'm going to work on the details page next.

Something told me to try and start my car even though it's been like one day since I started it and yup, dead battery. I'm just going to go ahead and get another one. It's been almost 4 years, so it's probably time. At least this time, I have stuff that can keep it charged if I'm not driving alot. Going to go through tracks for the radio show, start working on the details page for my side project. I just thought that I should probably also have a description field to show on the details page. I'll add that to the admin dashboard as well. Then I definitely want to watch some more "Zom 100" and then call it a night.

Have a great night!
