School Born Illness
Lucas brought how the first school born illness for the school year. He was nice and shared it with Heidi and I. Took me down the worst 
I’m still worn out from it, but at least I can keep food now.

SANs
I am currently in the process of trying to find a SAN for our lab at work, all I can say is it is not a fun process. Either everything is out of stock or they are super expensive

Exchange Server
Well, not sure why it happened but when I applied Windows Updates to our Exchange servers at work today they both had their database and log drives lose their mind and go from ReFS partitions to RAW partitions. So now I get to try to recover the data from them. I guess next time I go to do updates on said servers, I will be taking a snapshot of those machines first…….
I can also say I will never run ReFS on a server again unless I am not given a choice……

Amazon Delivery
I really wish Amazon’s delivery service would go away. Got a package via UPS today and it showed up without issue. Had another one that was supposed to show up via Amazon’s delivery service, and the driver maybe got a block away before they had a “delivery” exception. Sadly, the pieces work together so it would have been nice to get the second delivery too.

FitBit
Well,
Yesterday the wife and I decided to switch from our FitBits to Apple Watches. Mostly because both our FitBits died in under a year and that seems to happen more often than not now. Just not worth the hassle…..

Home Network
Well,
After running pfSense on an old 1U 8 Core AMD Opteron for quite a while I have decided to switch to another router. The main reason for this is to reduce my power bill and heating of the house in the summer. I’m switching to a MikroTik RB4011iGS+RM. I’ll keep the 10Gbps link from the router to my network switch, I just know it will take a lot of work to configure it to work as I expect it to. Oh well, it is what it is and will be worth it in the end.

SkeeRide
Finished the front cover for my SkeeRide, at 31 hours it is the longest print I have done so far.

SkeeRide
I am still working on 3D printing my SkeeRide RC Snowmobile. Getting to the final amount of items to print though. Currently working on the front cover, then I have the tail light housing & side covers left. Unless I decide to go with a mod bumper that helps reinforce the rear suspension mounts. At any rate, enjoy this OctoLapse of the seat base print.

Weather
Currently Minnesota is experiencing some massive temperature swings. All I can say is I really wish the weather would stabilize so my wife and I would stop getting migraines. I had to leave work early yesterday due to one and it sucks

Exchange Hybrid Setup
Well,
I am on my third day of attempting to configure Exchange Hybrid at work. No clue if the issue is our Meraki firewall or our damn Exchange servers, but it is getting really old at this point in time……..I am getting a 504 gateway timeout when I test the migration endpoint
