Well, the Roav Smart Charger F2 was a bust, as was the F3. They worked fine for streaming music, but not for calls. The next attempt is the Mpow Pro Trucker Bluetooth Headset. Hopefully, it works well. Won’t be able to stream music but at least I’ll be able to talk while driving.

I just got a Roav SmartCharge F2 for my car since a mounting kit for the Bluetooth stereo I have is a nice $200 (damn Driver Information Center built into the factory radio). Although not perfect, it does work and at least in my car people can hear me fine talking over it so that is nice. The main complaint I have is that the audio quality isn’t perfect, but it does fine for what I need so I’m happy with it.

So, when it comes to the Coronavirus Pandemic there are only two things that scare/worry me right now. The are me getting it and passing it on to my youngest as he has immune system issues due to getting RSV at 5 weeks old and the other (and bigger concern to me) is how as a country we are responding to this. I mean, we have 4 rolls of TP left at home and we cannot find any to buy, anywhere

Well,
I bought a 2007 Pontiac G6 GT to replace the Impreza. It isn’t perfect, but it doesn’t have leaking head gaskets so that is a plus. The boys love the sunroof too.
I have embarked on a task to reduce the amount of space used on the home server. To do this I am taking all movies & TV shows stored on it that are above a certain size (not sure the cutoff yet) and re-encoding them to H265 files using the video card on my desktop. So far I’ve saved at least 1TB of space. It will make backing up my server much easier on my crappy connection.

Over my 4 day winter staycation the head gaskets in my car went out. So I have a few options
At this point I am leaning towards the used engine, and getting rid of it after tax time. I really don’t want to end up paying way more for a car than I should for option 4 anymore. Option 1 is just to damned expensive and option 2 has the chance of a mistake or picking a bad machine shop 🙁

I officially believe migraines are the work of the devil now days. I have been getting them more and more and I am flat sick of being knocked out for a day due to one

Wife and I subscribed to Disney+ yesterday. For the kiddos of course…..
So today I plan to start watching the Marvel movies in chronological order. I’ll use strikethrough when I’m done watching one.

Well, I finally figured out what caused the issue on the support us page. It was a plugin I used to set the content security policy headers. Couldn’t white list Amazon. Plug is no longer in use.

Over the weekend the PSU in my desktop at home decided to shit itself. In doing so, it started to burn/melt the 4 pin CPU connector on the board. Now running a Pentium Dual Core E5200 at home just so I can print and check email. It isn’t fast enough to actually handle connecting to the VPN at work so I’ll have to use the spare sales laptop for now

Derailleur Adjustment
Well,
Last night I bit the bullet and adjust the derailleur on my bike so I could shift to all 11 gears without issues. Took me a while to do, but I’m happy I did it. One issue I ran into is that I pulled my wheel off to put some electrical tap on the chainstay since the factory protector was chewed up. When I put the wheel back on I had to re-adjust it. Kinda pissed me off to have to do it, but it wasn’t as bad as the first time.
