More monitors
So in a previous post I mentioned that I’ve brought a couple of Linux workstations online. My old development box (quad core Intel i7 with 24Gb RAM and dual SSD drives) has been turned into a pretty slick Mint desktop. But I could only hook up 2 monitors, so I broke down and bought 4…

Furry people birthdays
Rocky and Sammy turn 3 today!!! I sang them happy birthday and enjoyed their confused looks, they didn’t seem to grasp the significance. We celebrated by not opening the curtains in the bedroom and sleeping all day, I know, a bit of a wasted day but it’s what they wanted. In any case a shout…

Watched – Prometheus
Since I was a kid an curled up on the couch with dad watching Alien I’ve always loved the series, well mostly loved the series. Okay, I really liked the beginning of the series (read: first two movies) it seemed to go downhill from there. In this prequel we see a journey to find the…

Rainy Monday
The weather was cold and rainy today, which is honestly perfect for a Monday. So I got some work done and actually went for two walks today and made my steps. 8 days without a cigarette and I’m feeling pretty good about everything. The only hard times are first thing in the morning and after…

Happy Mothers Day!
I think we all think we have the best mom, why wouldn’t we, deep down I think each of us individually has the best mom because let’s face it, no one will love us more than our moms. The true definition of unconditional love. My one true hope is that I’ve made up for all…

Ode to the furry ones:)
I was worried about taking on the responsibility of cats back in 2018, and they are a bit of work but I wouldn’t change it for the world, this must be what it’s like to have kids:)

Pavers Up
Thanks to Sandy and Shelly for the assistance, the pavers that served as a makeshift work area for the shed construction have been picked up and stacked into two huge stacks. Now the grass can start to regrow. This marks the end of one project and ready for the next.

May the 4th be with you!!!
I know it’s cheesy but it’s May the 4th. So Sandy gets back into town today and I head to the airport to pick her up with an 8th of a tank of gas and as soon as I get to the airport the damn gas light comes on. UGH, that’s the second time I’ve…

Sandy’s Birthday, day 2 as an ex-smoker
Sandy turns 49 today, she’s in Mexico so I guess I’m not celebrating it with her. I’m now 27 hours tobacco free!!! And I’ve actually figured out how to use the vaporizer I bought 2 years ago with Austin at the CBD store in CO. I’ve still got the blueberry ‘juice’ from two years ago…

3, 2, 1 and then there were none…
So it’s today, about 7 and a half hours ago I became a non-smoker. I’ve been awake about an hour and used the CBD vape to handle the habit of going to the garage first thing in the morning. Still a bit of desire but this whole quitting thing is about mindset. I’m not giving…
