San Angelo, TX
We’re camped out in San Angelo state park in San Angelo, TX. It’s a desolate area that’s next to what used to be a reservoir (O C Fisher lake) named after Ovie Clark Fisher who was a US representative for these parts for 31 years. The lake is at 2.8% capacity. Yes that is a…

Death of a friend
It was an emotional roller coaster of a day. Aside from being backlogged at work and it’s time to get hours in for the last month, the cats had their first vet appointment in about 4 years so they had the full workup and were not happy about it. We got that done and I…

Computer issue addressed
Super happy to say that the issue I was having with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux server storage has been fixed and there’s nothing that should be stopping me from proceeding with the development tasks on that box. I have to admit I really enjoy running that server, I know I’m the only one that…

RHEL – Gee Ar Umble…
So when I reformatted the server to Red Hat Enterprise Linux, it was basically a fresh start as I got rid of the SAS drives in favor of SATA, there’s a rant someplace on my tech blog about it. Long story short I accepted all the defaults and got on with the business of getting…

And Life Goes On

We had Hanna Park over to look at and get measurements for the kitchen to remodel. Hopefully, she will be able to provide the direction we need to get this thing started and bring it in on or under budget. I did kind of smile when I was helping her get measurements and remembered roller-blading…

Pre-emergent Sprayed
Beautiful day today, feels like spring is in full effect. Did some tilling and have opened a new front on the battle with the sand burr, we sprayed pre-emergent that is supposed to prevent the stuff from coming back up. Got to use my new backpack sprayer in order to get it down. Also got…

YouTube Channel
So the whole YouTube, Reels, and TicToc phenomenon is kind of lost on me. I can barely remember to take photos when I should let alone put up a video. So fast forward to a week ago, Sandy has figured out how to download video clips of the CCTV and stitch them together to make…

Broccoli Cheese Soup
BCS is one of my favorite comfort foods, it’s not really the soup you have with a grilled cheese sandwich but pair it with a club or BLT and it’s heavenly. The best commercial that I’ve found is Jason’s deli and I’ve been trying to figure out how to make it since I first tried…
