Grocery Gathering
I blew $113 at the grocery store today. I bought strictly the sales so 5 tubs of Blue Bell, 60 cans of assorted sodas, 5 pounds of butter, 4 bags of Doritos, and a 5 and a half pound ribeye roast. Kroger has this neat little trick in that they don’t take any discounts off…

Fall Like Day
I got some work done today and I think that we’re coming into the home stretch so that’s cool. Managed to take a bike ride and walked around the mall, probably the last week to do that for the year because, historically, you don’t want to be anywhere near the mall for the Christmas rush.…

Rainy Monday
Well if it’s gotta be Monday it might as well rain. I’m happy with that as I actually like rainy days, don’t care for the Monday’s but who does? The Carpenters don’t like either (ha ha). It still turned out to be a nice day. Sandy and I took a walk around the neighborhood this…

Sunday Blues
I didn’t feel like getting out of bed this morning, I don’t think I really crawled out until 11am. I got some of the baseboards pinned in and just have two more to go although that may wait until tomorrow. I’d like a nice quite evening. We did get a bike ride in, it was…

Finishing Nailer
I started the last finishing pieces of the back bedroom which is putting the baseboard and trim back up. The air compressor and nailer combination that I inherited after Dad passed work perfectly. Still need to pin the rest of the baseboards down and caulk them but we’re a step closer being done. Also, this…

Passing
I’ve been giving a lot of thought to passing recently. Passing of time, passing of people, passing of feelings. I guess in this sense, change and passing are interchangeable. I seem to be at a crossroads in my life. I’ll be lucky if I have 20 years ahead of me and it’s become painfully obvious…

New Old Server
I got RHEL installed on the new server, it’s so rare that you have a bare metal install anymore that it took me a minute to figure out what was going on. And I did remember to allocate more space to the root as opposed to home. I guess in systems where people are using…

Server Showed Up
Super excited that the server showed up but a little bummed how old it is, it shipped in 2017 so it’ll be 8 years old next year, the drives are the same age. But it feels solid, it booted up no issue, the drives all seem to be fine even if they’re half way to…

Haircut Day
I woke up and went to work so to speak but I’m kind of waiting for directions so I didn’t have much to do. Decided to go ahead and get a haircut, Nice 30 year old lady did my hair and she was quite nice. When I got back I went for a bike ride…

Server Woes
I’ll post the details on the tech blog but I’m having all kinds of issues with my server and I’m not happy about it. After an update, I get a BIOS is broken error and I can’t keep up with updates. I’m a bit pissed off about it as I think I got a call…
