Minivan In for Repair

Had to get the AC repaired for our minivan that is 16 years old and has 100k miles which is pretty low. It cost us $1,300.00

Not cheap, but there was a realization, we could handle it. So it is interesting I am at a stage in my life this wasn’t a huge problem.

Been having problems with the Rocky 9.8 upgrade, can’t install wine, looks like it is missing some packages.

Good workout, Monday was a down day for working out, happy I did a normal workout.

Upgrade To Rocky 9.8

Starting to move my processes to Rocky 9.8, I have upgraded all my production machines and created a kickstart for 9.8. I still have a few things to do like MATE.

Currently creating a Rocky 9.8 instance on AWS and will continue with local vmware and KVM images.

Happy I am where I am at.

Need A Workout Break

I feel like I cannot push anymore in my workouts. Not sure how to explain. I feel like my legs hurt too much, like a person that has walked miles and just needs to sit down for a break.

At least my workouts are done, have to head into the office at 10PM so want to post now.

I should be home around 1AM.

Long day indeed.

Memorial Day 2026

I did workout today, but it was a slog. I just could not move and not maintain my pace and had to drop it down.

Kids said they had a hard time working out as well, maybe it is the weather.

Could be.

But when we got home had a bar b que. Great day. I did do some errands around the house. Replaced some batteries, spooled the weed whacker etc.

Also removed some Ikea Zigbee repeaters on my network, I think they have been causing problems by not doing its job. Initially seems stable, we will so long term.

Where Did The Weight Come From

Weird, kind of rest day physically, I did do some steps but I am not losing weight, stuck around this weight range.

To make it worst it crept over 320 today.

Hoping it goes down tomorrow after my workout.

Update as of 11:59PM I did crack 320 so I am updating this post.

Parkrun No PR

Been feeling so heavy today, I tried to PR on parkrun but did not. For my current shape it is not bad, but I feel weight is the issue:

Time: 55:16

I did rest a bit afterwards.

Then was introduced to something called vaultls. Does acme, may solve some of my problem.

Second Day of Weekend First Day of Rest

First day of the rest for this 5 day weekend. Tomorrow even more rest.

But I did kind of chill out. May not do anything tomorrow either we will see.

I did do my normal finance Friday and my workout. But I chilled for the most part.

Significant Parenting Milestone

This may not have been way up there like the birth of any of my kids, but it is significant nonetheless.

Today the last of my kids graduated from college.

PLU Graduation

I feel like I have fulfilled the last of my required parental duties. The promise I made internally to my kids to see them through college.

It has been an interesting day.

One Hour Treadmill

After work I did a few errands and then went to the gym. I was able to average 3.3MPH for an hour. A long boring hour, but an hour it was.

I need to lose some weight if I want to get that to 4MPH.

It would make a 1/2 marathon a realistic goal.
