# Daily — 2026-09-11

> Mentor log. Written from Tony's own report; he doesn't maintain this file.

| | |
|---|---|
| Block | **ran** — and overran: work continued well past 10:00 into the afternoon |
| Ball moved | **Y** |
| Closed | GBP category → **Deck builder** · GBP description + services · hours confirmed with Larry · Yelp number verified correct |
| Gym | shifted to **noon** (one-off; the 07:30 Mon–Fri anchor stands) |
| Drift flags | 1 — named, no time lost |

**Note on the block:** the gym moved to noon, which removed the morning arrival-report trigger.
The block opened on Tony's "I'm at the desk" text instead — the mechanism worked without the gym.
Worth remembering: **the trigger is "I'm at the desk", not the workout.**

## Decided today

- GBP **primary category changed from General contractor to Deck builder** — the single biggest lever
  on local ranking. Executed on day one.
- Profile description and services filled in; hours (Mon–Fri 9–5) confirmed with Larry and already live.
- **Yelp's number is correct.** The vault's "wrong number 530-344-1504" claim was false; nothing to fix.
- CSLB licence #336956 confirmed: **Sole Ownership**, class B–General Building, issued **07/01/1977**,
  expires 09/30/2028, bonded $25k via Western Surety, workers' comp exempt.
- Landline **(530) 303-3950** confirmed **alive** by Tony → **CSLB left as-is, item closed.**
- **Five check-ins a day now:** 06:30 brief · 12:30 mid-day · 16:30 afternoon · 21:00 check-in ·
  21:30 knowledge debrief. Both new evening/midday ones are explicitly removable if they become noise.
- **Knowledge base created** — `[[30_Resources/AI-Knowledge-Base]]`. A library, not a backlog: nothing
  filed there is a commitment.
- **The agent was renamed: Hermes Mentor** (was Hermes Coach).
- **Standing rule from Tony:** verify what he mentions, especially news items. His word governs facts
  about *himself*; facts about the *world* get checked before they become inputs.

## Learned

- **Spent the evening getting familiar with GrokBot** — his own answer to the debrief. Related to the
  **Grok Bot Galaxy livestream** he's booked for a bounded 3.5-hour dose on Sept 15–17. Nothing filed
  to [[30_Resources/AI-Knowledge-Base]] yet — no concrete findings reported.

## Drift

- **Morning news with coffee at 06:48, day one.** Named in the moment, not forbidden — and no block
  time was lost to it. Logged as a flag, not a failure.

## Open

- **Larry:** travel radius only. (Everything else he was asked is already answered — the interview
  transcript has him saying *"I'd really like to do just decks. Decks only."*)
- **Email:** the `larry@` forward, the Hostinger allow list for form mail, and forwarding the old
  Gmail address — all given steps, none confirmed done.
- **WordPress admin:** sitemap 404, missing Open Graph tags, schema `@type` still `GeneralContractor`,
  Flamingo, WP Mail SMTP, and the expanded page copy. All queued behind credentials.
- **Veripath's 2026-10-10 binary call** still has no defined decision criteria — promised, not delivered.
- Leonard's Aug-31 SEO pass: partly delivered (schema + `llms.txt` exist), partly not (OG tags, sitemap).
