Hope you're doing well today/tonight

Never sure about the time zone things :)

I mean, it's yesterday here, as I write this. But I always like reading your dispatches from the future.

It's our Thanksgiving holiday in the USA, going to be a small one this
year - my son is with his mother, and my mom's coming over to make it
4 people instead of the usual crowd of my sister's family and a couple
of hangers-on; we'd usually end up inviting a couple of people over
who didn't have family nearby, or another family.

We've got a small turkey, I'm going to make green beans with blue
cheese and pecans, brussels sprouts in a balsamic glaze with pine
nuts, mashed potatoes and gravy from scratch.

I've got the first inaugural carton of egg nog, going to spike it with
a nice bottle of Ardbeg malt whisky I got for my birthday a few weeks'
back.

I've got some time to tinker today, work is quiet until Monday. I
picked up a new battery for my home UPS and installed it, it's nice
knowing my system will shut itself down when the power glitches, which
it does a lot here. I've got a RAID array that takes forever to verify
when the power gets cut.

I bought a SATA enclosure and put a spare 2TB drive in it, hooked it
up to my DD-WRT router and got it shareable via SMB. Finally figured
out how to get Proxmox to see it, and now I'm able to snapshot my VMs.
It might be time to move the BBS to it and reclaim the laptop it's
running on now...

Hope all is well with everyone, and that we all have something we can
be thankful for today.

Sounds nice, your Thanksgiving plans... I passed on visiting my extended family in Ohio and on visiting my children in California. So, thats a bummer but.. I didn't feel good about traveling this year. You know why.

I'm visiting a friend in Portland, it'll just be us two - shes vegan, so I was going to prepare a turkey but opted to buy pre-made at the end. Its just me.. and our dogs who will be eating meat - so... I'm sure it will be fine. These vegan folks, well this one anyway, cook wonderful happy things and I'm excited to try her huckleberry pie - and I mean the real kind not..... nevermind. :P Dunno about the mushroon-gravy, but I'll make due. :P

Sound like cool projects. I recently setup a Pi with OpenMediaVault, and am grasping to fully understand how to use networked drives, SMBs and the like - let alone know how or using VMs or even USBs. However, both of those sound cool too and I am learning more every week. Hope your projects come together, and I'm a little jealous that you get to work on geeky stuff. Have a great day!!

Hope all is well with everyone, and that we all have something we can
be thankful for today.

I'm trying to be positive today. We're still here, I'm healthy... its a start. As I get my day going, I'm going to get into the holiday spirit.

Is way too cold for my liking. The rain is not helping either (just saying).

Perhaps if it clears up a bit I may walk the dog later today.

Nearly lunchtime and I am procrastinating on work a little bit but have done most of the morning jobs 'on-task' :)

Hope you're doing well today/tonight

Best, Paul
