    Getting Started with Ham Radio

    Wednesday, September 11th, 2024

    Before you get into ham radio, you’ll want to determine what you’re going to use it for. Do you want a(nother) hobby? Are you worried about communications during an emergency, maybe if or when the cell network goes out? Do you just want to learn the basics of signal propagation or electronics? You can do […]

    Review of Note-Taking Apps 2023 September

    Friday, September 29th, 2023

    Summary I’m switching from storing notes in three different apps. For me, personally, Evernote has been my go-to for nearly a decade. I’m switching away from it due to recent issues like slowness, especially with search, (very) occasional sync issues and of course, they are going to nearly double the price of it this coming […]

    SteamDeck and Upgrade

    Thursday, June 22nd, 2023

    Recently, I purchased a SteamDeck. I’d wanted to buy one, but I wanted it to be able to hold a good amount of games. As of this posting, the SteamDeck comes in three different capacities. With the sizes of games these days, at least for modern AAA games, all but the largest capacity one won’t […]

    Moving, Downsizing, New Phase

    Tuesday, March 15th, 2022

    In January, we contracted with an investor to sell our house. We knew it would take us a while to get completely out of the house, so we pushed the close date as far out as we could. They let us set it all the way out to March 11th. We bought a 5th wheel […]

    Auto mount NAS or server share to a Raspberry Pi

    Saturday, August 21st, 2021

    Recently I had an interesting experience attempting to get a share on my NAS mounted to a folder on my Raspberry Pi. Apparently, each step is mostly documented on the internet, but I wasn’t able to find it all in one place, so I thought I’d document it here. Here are the steps in detail. […]

    Tuesday, June 2nd, 2020

    Monday. (25th) Slept in way late again. Got up to take our older son to an appointment, only to find out that, of course, they were closed today, being a holiday, despite the fact that it was scheduled for today.  Played a little Pokémon while we were out, when we got back I exercised first […]

    Monday. (18th) Slept in a bit. Got up and worked in my office for a bit, before I exercised. Worked in my office a bit more. I’m still trying to get it organized.  Jill and her sister went to Tractor Supply. We’re trying to buy or build a coop for our backyard chickens.  On the way to […]

    TV, Game, Duolingo, Health, Star Citizen, Furniture

    Sunday, May 17th, 2020

    I decided to change it up a bit with my posting, some days are less exciting, and I don’t want to waste my reader’s time, so I’m going to write in my journal every day, but post every few days when there’s something interesting to post. Wednesday. (13th) Regular work day. Everything went well, and […]

    Tuesday, May 12th, 2020

    A good Tuesday. (12th) Slept in a bit, but exercised first thing when I got up.  Worked on our taxes a bit again this morning, I think I have everything I needed to do complete.  Kept up my Duolingo streak! (pic)  Went to lunch at our favorite BBQ place. I was pretty hungry, so I […]

    Slept, MCU, Quiet

    Monday, May 11th, 2020

    A Quiet Monday. (11th) Slept in a bit. Got up, ate breakfast, read a bit before getting on the bike.  Updated my MCU Timeline post. Watched some Extras for the Star Wars Rebels show. Took older son to work, then home.  Pretty quiet day.
