Holidays are here, kicking off with Halloween, so tried my hand at some decorations
Been two weeks since we let Toto go, but as we move on, the pain is getting masked by the joyous memories.
I do need to get back into the gym though.
Having some weird problems with my new KVM host. Not sure what, but the cockpit web interface does not seem to work right.
Good time to test the rebuild before it goes into production.

Have been so low energy lately, last week I had a legit excuse, my feet was sore maybe even injured, they are still hurting but not as bad.
Today, I could have gone to the gym but I am also super tired.
Gonna try and sleep early.
Was on mifi most of the day, finally Comcast is back.

Day was supposed to be a relaxed one, incredibly I got stuff done, like a new rack in the living, room and a new KVM host. I even started unpacking the 10GB switch I was going to set up.
But something knocked out the power again for about two hours, it was a pain to get it back up, but I think the huge problem at the moment is that Comcast Internet is down. I flipped over to mobile wifi, but it is not the same.
We will see how things go. For now internet is slow but works.

Bummer, there is a rain and wind storm going through the area and the power was flickering in my home.
One thing I think got damaged was one of the 3D printers. When I powered it up this was on the display.
The good news it is seems like the controller board is OK because I can access it remotely.
Looks like it will be like that till 5AM tomorrow. I can wait on the printing, nothing urgent, so I powered them off.

Sounds like an oxymoron, but today is my day off, got home late last night (more on that in a bit), but got a lot done, including getting some rest, today.
Still got more to do this weekend, it is just Friday although feels like a Saturday.
Got home late though, about 2AM slept at 3:30AM, had good luck at casino. I like to think it was my dog seeing I needed a bit of joyful distraction and gave me some fun for a change.

Yes it is Thursday, but I am off tomorrow. I need the break. I am still not only emotionally recovering (healing) but I am kind of hurt from Tuesday.
Tonight I should be able to sleep in, tomorrow night not so much because there is league XC meet we want to see on Saturday.
But Sunday, I am definitely sleeping in. No Seahawks, they are on a bye, no shots for my dog. Would gladly wake up for him though if he still was around.
Working on todo list, one huge one is to clean up now that my PC is up to Windows 11.
Foot feels better, but this morning wasn’t too sure.

Kind of hate how inconsistent I get between Windows versions and different windows computers I reside on. I finally decided to take a look at custom hta which is close to html enough for me.
So now I created a launching page for my apps that I use a lot
Now I can easily back it up, and move it from computer to computer.
I think I overdid it yesterday, it has been difficult for me to walk around.
Taking a break today. Feels almost like gout.

Recall yesterday I took a break. Today I went and got 10000 steps and 10 floors and got my fitbit steps in.
It was a beautiful day that marks a week after losing Toto.

I think what did it was upgrading the bios and updated some of the motherboard drivers. After I did that I ran the upgrade and found myself at Windows 11 a few hours later.
I did not sleep well though. So I was kind of hurting in the morning. I am going to sleep early tonight.
I did not go to gym either, technically it has not been a week yet since my pets passing, but the real reason was my wife felt sick and no one was there to help her.
Couple other things
Mariners lost, so no World Series, but Seahawks won.
I have a hard drive that seems to be steadily failing. The reallocated Sector count has been going up. So I took immediately formatted a drive I had and began copying data to it.
Ordered two more drives that will go into my backup server. For my new NAS. I want to have emergency excess capacity.

Got a lot done today but one huge hangup was trying to upgrade my main rig to Windows 11. Been struggling for weeks now, but I think I found the problem.
First off the things I did that probably didn’t help
It is that last step that kind of got me pointed to the right direction. The memcheck I had supported UEFI but I noticed my BIOS has CSM enabled. As I post, I am trying another upgrade but this time in UEFI mode.
A google search says CSM should be powered off.
I am posting on an alternate machine, but I should see if the upgrade is done and will be back to posting on my main machine tomorrow.
