Thats why you eat your cookies on Friday and hope you don’t get called in before 10am on Saturday

Its not and I learned that fast. At least I got to have some fun at the end

My last contract had that and the first year I barely used 2 weeks. My regional manager started giving us heads up during contract negotiation time that we might not get it. Ended up taking 3 weeks that he approved and felt so good to actually use the benefits that were promised. He was going to retire soon anyways, so he was approving left and right.

Ended up get hired back at the same place under a different company, and now our PTO and vacation is horseshit

My first “true gaming PC” has been turned into a NAS and small docker host. Its about to turn 15, and I have spare hardware to upgrade it, but I like to see how much I can churn out of it.

Tbh I get deep freezes now. Thats why I come to the fediverse for questions lol

Will be placed in an area with a drain. Thanks for clearing up a lot of my questions.

We went camping with some of my wife’s coworkers a few weeks ago and they told me to just cut meat ourselves and get a deep freeze. That started the cascade of getting a deep freeze and ending up with my in laws buying a new one and gifting us thr one we have. I’ll take a look at some vacuum sealers at this point. Any recommendations for bags?

Outlet is GFCI but will need to look into an alarm and generators. Thanks for the advice.

Currently we are doing Costco runs once a month for our meat, but just moved to an area with a decently priced butcher that sells by half a cow. My in-laws are wanting to do that, and seems doable for my household since we host a lot on the weekends.

Still trying to figure out meat prices and what is viable, but growing up in a family that would go in together and split a cow I know its cheaper in the long run. Just trying to make sure everyone else is onboard (splitting between me, my wife’s parents and her sisters)

It is, I will keep that in mind. Thanks

…its that simple? Thanks for putting it in terms I get lol.

I needed a chuckle this morning, thanks for this

I typed it once, I’m not typing it again

Going through a DC consolidation project now and the line techs are fucking clean. I’m slightly excited to overnight patch so I can make this place look good.

I can finally make this mess I walked into look good.

If you can get them to pitch in for a drive for your birthday its worth it. If not, hopefully they watch it before the array starts filling up

I was moving plex from my NAS to a dedicated box this weekend and spend 3 hours going crazy on why my movie library wasn’t showing up. After a break and looking through fstab, I realized “novie” wasn’t a share…

Remember kids, always work from the simplest solution up

I messed around with pills pretty bad back in 2012 and ended up with seratonin syndrome one night. Good things have happened since but nothing ever felt normal since then. Ive never talked to a doctor or psychologist about it (really anyone now that I think about it) but I swear my brain never recovered fully. Mix that in with some concussions a few years before from HS football and I feel like my brain is just broken. It might just been depression, but stuff seemed so much brighter before.

Sorry for my own rambling, but I wish you well and understand where you are coming from.

I still remember listening to Blackstar when I heard he passed. There was something so weird and ethereal about that moment I tend to agree thats when things went from bad to shit.

Thank you. It sounds beautiful and what I was picturing in my head. Pics please to show the wife so we can start planning a fall seeding!

Dang need to keep an eye out then. My dog is 15 pounds and loves her outside time.
