Electronic Medical Templates. and coffee.
I made my soon to be stepmom buy new belts for her riding mower after fishing out 8 feet of belt from around the crank pully where it wedged itself after breaking and bringing the whole party to dead halt
I am in training pretty much all summer. It is sorta like a paid vacation in that I go to work later and leave for home earlier than usual. I made 100% on three exams today.
I cut 1" thick hardened steel with .010 hard brass wire. ( Wire EDM). I let DD make my coffee today. I also watered my garden before work (making tomatoes).
Moved 91 tons from point a to point b. Tomorrow morning I get to push it out with another 91 tons or more.
In the morning I changed one of the springs on the rally car, that's all I had time for. Now it is riding on 3 stiff springs and one soft one, hehe.
In the adternoon I made some connections (networking event). I would prefer to be working and making money, but you got to make those connections in order to make money later...
I made a 3-D computer model of a power washer truck with a 145-foot boom, then came home and made my truck not leak oil like a sieve (I hope). Doing so made me messy, which made my wife laugh.
Made gaskets for the rad cap in the '34 Packard Twelve.
The rest was just fitting and re-assembly.
Nothing today, but on Saturday I finished up the lower portion of my windshield frame. I was working on it most evenings last week, though:
This is what it is supposed to look like
I spent a few hours using Google SketchUp to design the subwoofer box I want to put in my van. Then I got on CL and found a $45 table saw to cut the material. Then I went to HomeDepot and found a crapload of MDF cuts on the cull cart for $1.50.
Pretty soon the plain Ford Van will become...
THE BOOM BOX
Played with photoshop, made a poster for the garage/office from a photo at Road America - looks like photobucket tweaked my colors for me.

I hate you for reminding me to do that. My Jeep needs a sub in a bad way. I just need to pick up a box and an amp.
Do you build your boxes using software? I remember back in the day using WinISD Pro for enclosures.

They faux HDR'd your pic. It's the hipster thing. I think most HDR looks like clown vomit.

This answer - just because it references a 1934 packard - contains more awesome than the rest of this thread combined
I milled and turned some hydraulic pistons that act as shocks for the front suspension of these trucks.

I converted food into poop.
This belt buckle:
Spreadsheets, meeting notes, and an Italian-esque take on leftover roast chicken (soften onion and garlic in 1T each butter and olive oil, add about 1/2 a chicken taken off the bone and brown up, set aside and deglaze pan with little white wine, add a 1/3 C or so of homemade chicken stock and one finely chopped sundried tomato, reduce, add chicken back in with several tablespoons of fresh herbs chopped over top--basil and parsley mainly--and cook until liquid is absorbed). Pretty good for fast and improvised, served over noodles.

A craigslist replacement.
Progressive LED fuel gauge for my race car. One LED for each quarter tank, red LED lights at 1/8th, blinks at 1 lap to go (programmable and dodgy at best, defaults to 1/16 left).
Now I need to mount it in something sexy.

Hey I was working on stuff to work with those yesterday and today.
I cut 3 times and measured none.
Fortunately the computer tower hides the holes. As an unintended side effect, the extra holes gave me places to tuck excess wiring out of the way.
