Happy Juneteenth 2023

back to back holidays nice. But Juneteenth is a day off for me so woopie.

Got a lot done today, I went to bed really late last night, fixed a cable that was bugging me and finally started the burnin on 16 four TB drives.

Said goodbye to the fax machine. It served me well.

Nostalgia is high, but I don’t need it anymore. My printer scanner can fax if needed.

Father’s Day 2023

It was a good Father’s day, kids made me a great dinner and we spent some time together.

One of the ingredients to being a father is kids, and I got some great ones.

I guess you can say this was some late spring cleaning, but the garage looks great. Being able to move stuff around is nice. I was able to easily rearrange the garage to suite my needs.

There is way way more stuff to do still.

I started on my office as well. I really need it cleaned by tomorrow though. I can’t keep working this way.

Not Too Much Work Yet

Got my steps in, but started the day really late.

I think I needed the rest, but as I post my legs are aching.

Will rest early though. Charge the next two days.

Weekend Work Started Early

This is a 3 day weekend and I started it early.

Not relaxing but doing the work I scheduled to do.

I finally flashed some HBA cards I had, now working on dual booting a utility box with FreeDOS and CentOS 7 (which has compatible software)

It is interesting.

Needing Another Rest Day

I can’t seem to keep up the pace of work I am doing, I think I need to lessen they days and increase the intensity.

Looks like I will have to go to the gym.

Grafana Meetup

Met some folks from grafana and had a meetup.

This week was grafanacon and got a lot discussed,

But it did take my evening up and I did not have a good walk because it was dark,

Anyway I did get it done. I also recorded my time this morning

Did 1 RTC lap started at 212 steps and ended with 3481 so had 3269 steps.

Got 3 floors in during the walk which was just 1 real lap from home to home.

Took 38:02 minutes and ended at 8:27AM

This is for future reference.

Chance To Go To Bed Early

Got my steps done and don’t have class tomorrow.

So no rush, but looks like I can be asleep by 11PM and get a “good” 8 hours of sleep.

Also discovered a new command

ssh-keyscan – a tools to get ssh public key to append to your known_hosts.

Anyway, cools stuff.

Falling Behind In Garage

Getting burned out, with a bunch of things even garage cleaning.

But I feel like things are getting done. Couple storage shelves got roller on them, that took a bulk of the day, but in the end they are neatly on wheels.

At around 6 I was beat, did a lot, but still a lot ahead of me.

Did not get my steps in, really tired. Actually slept from 7PM to 10PM, shoes how tired I was.

Rest is What I needed

Recall I did not do my fitbit steps and stairs yesterday, but today it was OK.

The rest got me to recover a bit and make easy work of the days 10,000 steps.

Unfortunately I have not done that many stairs. As I post I have only completed 1.

But marking as done because I got nearly two hours to do it. Once every 10 minutes should do the trick.

After I post I will hit it.

Garage looking better, had a little setback because the wheels I placed on a board did not work right. The board was too weak.

Purchased some 2×4 and will use those. Will work on it tomorrow, enough for today.
