Updates… whelp… It seems that every time I get into managing this blog, there is a another plug in to set up and manage. At this point everything feels like a land and expand scam.

This is going to be a person yelling at the clouds complaint post. So hang on for some random complaints.

So wordpress is a land and expand sales motion. It seems to be the same with most businesses. There is a minimum amount of time and money to get started. Then there is all the plug-ins that start out free but are actually a money ticket machine that goes “brrr” as soon as you start scaling. It takes money and time to make more money. Then where does the time go? It disappears down the drain on personal pet projects that may or may not pay off…

Not one human has come across this blog and do I care? yep, sure. However, I still don’t think I’ve completely figured out my voice and scared of feedback. I’ve only mentioned this blog in passing to friends and family. I’ve not shared this blog through electronic communications. so there is that…

I still haven’t set up Firewalla Gold SE that has been sitting in it’s shipping box for over a week now. I was super duper lazy last weekend. I cannot be lazy this weekend. I will be updating my security gateway and wifi7 this weekend priority!

I still haven’t gotten a ProxMox lab going. But I know I need to budget for more bills and vehicle maintenance.

New Roof, siding, rain gutters with leaf gaurds, and garage doors have the payment checks still pending but money is in the bank. I had to liquidate some assets to cover costs. I am blessed that I have assets to liquidate. I still need to schedule new paint before end of summer.

Also I completed Nvidia Associate training and practice tests but it is another $150 to take cert. I’ll add that to list of to do’s before end of summer.

I’ve got 5k run scheduled in August I need to continue to train for but haven’t jogged consistently for past month. October is 5 mile trail run. I have been consistent with last 8 weeks 5×5 strength training program. I am hovering at 210lbs.

This post is dumb. I’ve got same problems as everyone else and can’t feel like I cannot check off my personal to do list without something reprioritizing the to do list.

Still gonna post b/c it is the adventure that is important right now. The destination is an undefined moving target somewhere at the end of this year with unknown results.

Next week’s future blog post is Firewalla SE w/ AP7 updates and feedback.
