Stupid hammers.

The window in the laundry room was looking pretty shot.  Its had a cracked pain of glass as long as we owned the house.  Figured it was time for replacement.  After a few mulligans and a lot of head scratching, I think I’ve got the window mounted.  Hopefully be able to get the trim part figured out soon.

Starbucks Via Instant Iced Coffee (part of my birthday goodies) served in a vintage Boilermaker (2006) souvenir glass.  Yum.

The new ATM goes 2 steps further.  Now, you can  dump in a stack of checks and it goes through them one by one for you automatically.  It also does the same thing for paper money too.  Slick.  Here’s the ATM maker’s promo video.

I had to make a deposit of a check and some cash earlier today and out of habit, put everything together in a standard ATM deposit envelope.  I pulled up to the drive thru ATM and logged in, only to find that they don’t have an envelope deposit function at all any more.

So, I tore open my envelope and hit the cash deposit option and dumped in the bills. A second or two later, it correctly showed me the total broken out by the different denominations.  Nice.

I pulled out the check next.  Hmm, wait a sec, its a hand written check.  Well, if they don’t have envelope deposit, they must be able to handle them straight up, amiright?  So, I hit the check deposit button and gave it a shot.   It slurped up the check fine and  a second later correctly identified the amount.  Whoa.

The future has arrived.
