Cool and wet. Although the forecast doesn’t have any rain for our area, I’ll believe it when I see it.
Yesterday was rainy throughout. Lots of thunder, lots of rain in the morning, with more rain and heavy wind gusts all through the day.
I did inside stuff. Marginally productive inside stuff, testing a couple of things, organizing some stuff, but mostly not doing much despite all the movement. I did find some meds in my travel kit, and that helped. I’ll be chasing my prescription today, and taking more steps to stack it up. I can not skip it if I need to. Not if I want to be active and effective.
Kids spent the whole day by themselves. My wife ran errands and made cookies. Yummy PILES of cookies. I made 2 pounds of bacon for breakfast. It got eaten too. Dinner was pulled pork from cans that our Costco carried for a while. I drain them, heat them, and add BBQ sauce. Served them on King’s Hawaiian rolls. Some leftover carrots, baked beans, and fresh onion filled out the plate. The pulled pork isn’t as versatile as the chicken but it makes a nice change of pace and was widely available and not expensive.
Today I’m at home, while my wife goes into the office, so I’ll be doing at home stuff. I hope to be a bit more productive today. Since I’m not going to be allowed to solve the country’s problems today, I’ll have to keep working on my own.
On the wuflu front, we should be seeing peaks from the Thanksgiving spread this week and next. We’re up, but not storing the dead in freezer trucks, and I’m very glad for that.
On the national insurgency/coup/civil war, it’s just getting started. Pretty sure lots more is coming. Someone online pointed out that the dems are not confident. They aren’t dancing in the street. They and their propaganda arm are doing their best to gaslight, censor, restrict, and obfuscate, but if they were confident they’d be a whole lot more “in your face” about it. I find that heartening, but ultimately, I think the deep state and a bunch of others had their Quisling ‘peace in our day’ moment. The cheaters know they cheated. The others know they cheated, and they decided NOT to kick off CWII this week. I think they haven’t bought nearly as much time as they think they have. I guess we’ll see.
We’ve got a bit more time to get our stuff straightened out. I could load a box truck here at the house if I was serious and had somewhere to SEND all this stuff. I might just have to. I did make two ebay sales yesterday. I think my net was $40. That isn’t going to buy much in the way of preps… and it’s not clearing stuff out fast enough. I usually move the equivalent of two pallets at the March hamfest swapmeet. That isn’t happening this year either. On the plus side I figured out how to get more stuff thrown away, even if I can’t get the forklift running right. I’ll cut it up and move it piece by piece, instead of moving it then cutting it up at the dumpster. There’ll be a lot more handling of the stuff, but I’ve got the equivalent of a 53 foot tractor trailer taking up space I need for other things. I won’t get it all back, I’m keeping some of the shipping containers, but they’ll nest to a degree. I just need to find 10 hours during the day when I can go do it, and when it’s not raining.
Where did I go wrong? I kept buying stuff long after it stopped selling. I’ve found myself doing the same with preps… I get a bug that I should pick up item x, and keep doing so long after I should have recognized I’ve got enough x and moved to y. So take stock of what you have, where you need to be, and how you hope to get there. You might be surprised by the hills and the valleys in what you thought was level ground.
I’m sure there are valleys to be filled by more stacking. And if not, it’s time to level up skills. A good scanner for Christmas and leaving it on while you work so you can get an idea about what’s going on in your area might be a place to start, if you’ve got the rest taken care of… or start working on your HUMINT so you can get a feel for the restlessness of the natives. Get out of the house and talk to some people, at a safe distance of course.
Figure out your needs and keep stacking them.

Back-up update from the discussion a few weeks ago.
I use a Buffalo Raid 5 NAS for pictures, music, and general storage. Had one drive fail a few moths ago and I was able to recover and rebuild the RAID by replacing the drive. Hmm, I should get another drive for when another fails, now that I think of it.
Any, when that happened I got a large USB drive to back-up the NAS, I hooked it up but the backup never ran. No useful error messages.
Last week I set up both the NAS and the attached USB drive as drives and used AOMEI Backupper to do a file backup. Slow, but it worked.
Checked it this morning and all is good, at least according to the logs. And the Buffalo Backup is working as well. There is enough room, so I will keep them both.

The Subie battery was dead this morning. The back hatch was open. For some reason, when I have the FOB in my pocket, it gets punched and the hatch opens. The Subie isn’t smart enough to turn interior lights off after some time when the hatch is open, so the battery is drained overnight.
It’s in the 40’s, but I attached my Li-On jump battery. No luck after 30 mins, so I attached my Super Capacitor (recommended by Scotty Kilmer) in parallel. 30 seconds later, it had enough juice to start the Subie. The SCs really work.

I don’t see F69AAEB09AAE6D35 in the directory listing produced by the “ls -l …” command. That is probably why mounting /dev/sdb1 fails.
Something to try, but it does involve a *small* amount of risk. Copy your /etc/fstab to a safe place as a backup and replace this line
/dev/disk/by-uuid/F69AAEB09AAE6D35 /mnt/F69AAEB09AAE6D35 auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0
with
/dev/disk/by-uuid/08c254af-ddbc-4ba3-b230-aa4d4c595013 /mnt/F69AAEB09AAE6D35 auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0
Note that the difference is the part of the device specification located after “by-uuid/”. Everything else should be the same.
I believe that will make the system mount the /dev/sdb1 drive in /mnt/F69AAEB09AAE6D35 upon reboot. If I’m wrong, just put the backup copy of fstab back in /etc/fstab and reboot again.
Thanks Greg, I’ll try it after lunch.

A recall? Again?
I don’t see it working this time. California has quaffed deep from the Dem Kool Aid vat, and Newsom would still be a young, rising star if he ran in 2028. The state will need a bailout by that point if it doesn’t already.
Plus, arguably, the last recall, driven by the Enron fallout, ended Republicans as a state-wide force in CA when people didn’t get exactly what they expected from the Governator and true Kennedy (as opposed to Robert Francis) wife. Someone dropped a dime on Ahhh-nold early. Maybe even Kenny Boy himself.

MrAtoz, your car started, but your battery is in need of a full charge ASAP. It is probably still below 50%. Every day a battery is below ~90% state of charge shortens its life through sulfation. Cooler temperatures are better than warmer.
A good microprocessor controlled “smart” charger can top off the charge safely. It will take about two days after the battery reaches 90%. The last few percent of a full charge is the most critical, and requires accurate regulation and temperature compensation. Note that driving can bring a battery up to full charge, but it will take even longer than 48 hours of driving.
I have seen batteries run down like yours and recharged promptly last a year or two. Just letting the car recharge the battery, almost always less than a year. If that battery is more than three years old, start shopping for a sale. 😉

The flooring mistake at our house which was not my decision: PBT.
The carpet has looked like cr*p for almost five years. We’ve been in the house six. Zero crush resistance in the fibers, but, yes, it doesn’t stain as easily as ANSO. Big friggin deal if the clean carpet looks original to the 25 year-old house.

The Libertarians created the mess in the Ossoff-Perdue race. 120,000 of them voting for their party’s candidate, enough to deny a 50+% victory to Perdue and forcing the runoff.
The bizarre thing is that only 60,000 voted for the party’s Presidential candidate, a deviation from what happened in 2016 when roughly 180,000 voted Libertarian for both Senate and President.

Tie an overhand knot near the end where you want the right angle. The knot will naturally form a more-or-less right angle. More importantly, it will give a lot of tolerance for moving the loose of of the cable around without flexing the wires right near the connector.
I’ve been doing this for a few years with good results.

SolarWinds is a weird company with a lot of IPO money out in the fancy lad section of town west of Mopac. They must have bought a lot of hookers and steaks to be so tied into government, Fortune 500, and the telecoms. I’m guessing marketing at the SxSW bacchanalia was involved.

It’s been a week with some days almost normal but last night he didn’t even want his cherrios bedtime treat. So he went in for a look today.
They really didn’t find anything except a mild fever and the xrays showed some inflammation in the gut. So he got fluids, and some antibiotics and some other stuff. At least we ruled out anything major. It’s gonna be hard to give him meds if he doesn’t want to eat though.

Sorry to hear.
I’ve had good luck coating pills in butter and poking them down the throat. A little massage at the corning or the mouth usually gets them to open.
I ruined peanut butter for him the last time he was sick. I still feel bad about that. He used to LOVE!!!111!!!!!1!!!!!1!!!! peanut butter. Now he’s suspicious. I will try plain old butter if he doesn’t want to eat enough for us to hide the pill.

She was a real foodie until she was 14 or so, anything that was edible, especially freshly cooked beef and chicken.

“The vaccine has a 90% or 95% chance of preventing a serious illness from a disease from which 95% of the infected do not get a serious illness.”
Target the 5%. Since the majority of deaths are 60 and older with co-morbidities, equalizing the death rate with the 60- group would not only save a lot of lives, it would remove the justification for emergency powers of the Blue SHole State dictators.
Agreed, drwilliams. But that’s not what’s being done, is it? I must admit that I’m kind of losing track, between all of the conflicting plans, reports, expectations, and demands about who’s being inoculated first as well as other dempanic recommendations and requirements.

It’s always nerve wracking when an old pet suddenly goes off his food.
Our cat had a rodent ulcer which made her refuse to eat, and we thought that was the end. Getting her back to (skinny) health took a lot of hand feeding from a syringe, a couple of vet visits for steroids/fluids, and a lot of coaxing her to resume her normal diet.
We were very lucky. The animal was scouting for places to die. Today, she’s back her usual annoying self.
Yeah, he was laying down in places that were not his normal napping spots. If the pack leader curls up around you, hopefully you feel like you still have a place in the pack.
