Migration To R9 Continues

Posted on August 8, 2023 by larry

Kind of halted the migration of VMs, today I resumed the migration.

First order of business is to cold migrate R8 and R9 boxes.

Simultaneously I am building R9 “shells” to prepare to move the VMs over.

Breathing Problems

Posted on August 7, 2023 by larry

Having a weird bout with breathing.

I think I will be OK because I will have my nucala shot tomorrow and I got a new inhaler.

But it has been an annoyance.

Back From Canada

Posted on August 6, 2023 by larry

Good trip, but I knew it was going to hit us financially.

We have reserves, but don’t like touching them.

Was fun though, got to remember next time to bring an air mattress though. Back hurts.

Not sure what is up with the scales, I suspect I am just too heavy.

Canada Night Market

Posted on August 5, 2023 by larry

Back in Canada today, came in late last night. Looking to have some fun.

Son did park run, man they are bigger than Renton.

Got 5500 steps as I post but will probably get 10k steps at night Market.

Dunno when the last time we went, I think in 2019

But here’s to restarting an old tradition.

No weight no scale.

Blue Angels 2023

Back to normalcy, things do feel pre pandemic.

Heard the Blue Angels flying overhead, and a lot of traditions are coming back.

Anyway, having fun, but hot hot hot.

Decent Exercise Today

Posted on August 3, 2023 by larry

Had a good day, I mentioned I fixed the chair, today I fixed the fitbit watch. I did it by letting it train and when it restarted I could connect to it.

Wife is happy.

As for finances, still need to trim, but we have non emergency reserves. Just need to use it.

So all is not so bad, but there is work ahead.

Decent workout today, easily got my fitbit goals and gym workout.

Expenses Keep Piling

Posted on August 2, 2023 by larry

Neighbor asking to help pay for the fence. I am being nice and paying half.

But it is putting a sudden strain on my finances.

Then there are other expenses like sports registration and shoes for my kid.

It is a real stresser.

Was thinking of getting the scale to record to homeassistant or a database some how. Still a WIP.

At least my chair is repaired.

Need To Trim Expenses

Posted on August 1, 2023 by larry

Things are going to get tough financially in a bit so you may see me slow down on new purchases.

This is a good thing, I can still afford stuff, but need to control my spending before things get out of control.

Got a lot of stuff to do anyway.

Chair Can Be Fixed

Posted on July 31, 2023 by larry

Finally took a look at the chair again

Looks like the parts used for my chair are standard. So all I need to get is the new tilt part and the extension.

Also with the new part it will be stronger.

Weight Related Malfunctions

Posted on July 30, 2023 by larry

Hoping three malfunctions and I am done.

  1. Wife Fitbit went down – not me but it motivated her to go walking with me.
  2. Scale – Scale went crazy and was not able to measure my weight.
  3. Chair, broke because I leaned too much into it. to be fair I think I felt it giving in days ago.

But all got replacements today, wife got a samsung watch, I got a new scale, and the chair was replaced today.

My booty needs to get used to the new chair.

Slept a lot today, kind of worn down. even after I got up did not have energy to do stuff.

Scale back like I said.
