Fixing Trucks

Spent a few hours today replacing the front disc brakes and the shocks on the front of the 2005 truck. It was not as bad as I thought it would turn out to be. Nathan did most of the work.

We already did the other side. Next weekend the back brakes and shocks.

Rebuilding Servers

May order a new server soon. I am building a proxmox cluster and I have 2 old dells that are no longer cutting it.

I have been working on my proxy server, moving it to another server and installing up to date ubuntu server software. That’s done now to make a good copy of my email server for a backup.

80 Years of Remembering Pearl Harbor: Valor, Sacrifice, and Peace

By Paula Ratliff

PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii—Thousands of people gathered here on Tuesday to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The surprise assault by the Imperial Japanese Navy on Dec. 7, 1941, carried out prior to a declaration of war, plunged the United States into World War II.

The ceremony honored the fallen, encouraged the survivors, and brought healing and closure to the 396 families who waited for their loved ones to finally be identified. A smaller group of families, 33 in all, re-interred the remains of fallen warriors who have remained unidentified despite years of effort.

Thanksgiving 2021

Had a great day for Thanksgiving. Lots of food and family. Everyone brought something and no one went away hungry. Lots of small kids that made it fun.

Two Years And Still Running.

It’s been right at two years and I still haven’t caught the Chinese Virus. They are still trying to contain it but that’s a lost cause. The Biden government is still trying to implement a covid-19 vaccine mandate. That’s not going so good either. Winter is coming and people are starting to get the flu like they do every year, but now its the CCP virus. With so many supposedly vaccinated and now with booster shots, it seems they are the ones spreading it.

Looks like Thanksgiving will cost more this year as inflation is eating more of my dollars.

But it’s all about spending time with the family anyway. I’m sure everyone will pitch in and help.

Have a good Thanksgiving everyone. Stay safe and let the stress roll off of you.

Website Back Up

The site has been down for awhile and I took the opportunity upgrade the server software.

It’s taken awhile and I had a few problems but since I am partly retired I have had some time to work with it.

Hopefully I won’t be down too much but there are some back up issues with the new version of proxmox 7.

Post some notes if you have the inclination.
