Only one post last month, kind of hard to believe I couldn’t find the time to note anything. But it wouldn’t mean nothing was going on, that would be far from the truth. Second month at the new house and we are settled in, I think. The boys, Roscoe and Copper, are enjoying themselves enough that a chance of chasing the cats next door had become to much. Not sure why it took so long for that urge to come out, they have been there all along. We knew the four foot fence wasn’t enough to keep Roscoe from jumping over, but we hoped. Between Roscoe’s roaming and Copper peaking over the top they needed something to keep them at bay…. and I didn’t think getting a cat of our own was a good choice. So an underground fence is now up and that seems to be keeping them under wraps. Now I’ve just got to finish a gate for them to get to the wide open space and hope they can use it. Kay had a trip to Chicago and some of her family came down. Friends moved to some new digs a few miles away and we found a park with some help of one of Kay’s co-workers.

Hockey for me is still twice a week and Volleyball started up again for Kay. A trip back home to IL and we are into August. In between the fun stuff work just keeps piling up and when I think I’m making a dent in the stack the design project I worked on over a year ago is now coming to Development. The Fedora system is now gone, but then again it was not going to last anyway as that system needs to be trashed before it burns up. Used the drive for another Windows setup, the wife needs to VPN into work and they use SonicWall where the company I work for uses Cisco.

I’m still muddling through the LCPI exam 1 book, as I have not convinced myself to dig in and get it done. But it is good to know much of what’s their so far is not new. In the end it’s all a personal thing anyway but not something I’m going to give up on. I learn more from FOSS in a day than I can with anything else in a week.

With any luck this month we’ll get the dogs use to the fence, I’ll get through the rest of the LCPI exam 1 book, more pics will get hung and the house will be more of a home every day. Now if only Can-Back can get the S10 camper shells into production…. that would be a good month.
