Got some decent sleep last night, woke up late but not too late. But I got some stuff done today.
I worked on some nagios scripts, checked out my new backup system and cleaned up my office.
At about 2PM went out with my my wife and mom to the Casino. Mom did well.

It takes time, deliberate intentional actions, and acceptance that the jumble of mess will come together.
Kind of cool.
Still need a few more things to get together.

For the most part, the house is zigbee, but got couple other protocols in the works. Like I mentioned in the Sonoff works well, so I have very stable 433mhz and low powered too.
I purchased one more sonoff and will cover downstairs.
Hit the gym today, slowly working into a schedule.

Recall I am pretty happy with a sonoff black I have, and the tasmota DIY devices I setup didnt last.
While cleaning up I did come across a Sonoff White R2.
I flashed it, pretty easy, didnt to the hardware hack and it seems like a drop in replacement for what I need.
So it is doing its thing.
Also hit the gym again, trying to get back to a schedule. That is step 1, weight loss is later.

Most of my Tasmota Devices have failed, at least the custom RF 433Mhz Receivers.
I am hoping it is just the receiver unit. I order another batch hoping they will fix the issue.
Remember this post
Glad I didnt decomm those UNO units. They standing tall.
I may do an ESP32 version though, if the replacement RF units do not fix things.

What a day to cap off the weekend. Got a lot done, pergola is done and it is comfortable.
Celebrated with an awesome start of the season bar b que. Was wet day in the morning but it warmed up a little but still a little cold when grill was started.
Planning to make use of this think a lot during the summer.
As a post still a few more things to do, but the nearstore server is done. Just need to put some monitoring in place.
One thing I did not expect to finish was this line item
Chat GPT got close.
Mentioned we had a bar b que, I think the new zepbound is working
One thing I did not do is any reflection. I still need to do that.

Nearstore deployed and pergola done.
So fulfilling to get stuff done.
Stuff is never ending though, pergola still needs to be fastened down and painted. Nearstore needs some monitoring and testing.
But progress is good.

Today we decided to put in a simple pergola on the back deck.
Budget was 200 but I think we will exceed it when we paint it.
Also took time to power wash back deck.
Couple other things, after this post I will do my zepbound shot for the first time.
The nearstore server is live, tomorrow should be the first snap.

Working on my 4 day weekend to do list.
Got the finances done, kids fafsa form, my new server is getting staged, took wife to dentist and got my son to mow the lawn.
Was thinking tomorrow will have more, but sleeping in.
Tomorrow will try to do that reflection.

Today my eldest daughter went to work with me, not as some bring your daughter work event, but she had her own work thing (a conference) where I work it. I was proud of her today.
Need Reflection Time, Memorial day weekend 2025, for me it is a 4 day weekend.
Tomorrow I do have some stuff to do, but I want to reserve some time for reflection and to plan. Something I have not done with profound effect for a while now.
So not sleeping in late tomorrow because of errands. But an opportunity to get ahead of my weekend errands.
I did hit the rare fitbit goals today.
