Cool and clear, warming later.\u00a0 Small chance of rain.\u00a0 No chance of snow.\u00a0 ‘cuz that would be cray-cray…\u00a0 It was nice most of yesterday, once it warmed a bit.\u00a0\u00a0 Long pants and layered tops, but the jacket came off in the early morning.<\/p>\n
Did my pickup.\u00a0 Did a drop off at my auctioneer.\u00a0\u00a0 Got 5 or six bins of stuff out of the house.\u00a0 Got some stuff for the BOL.\u00a0 No not another freezer!\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Prices are going up even in the secondary market.\u00a0 I’m losing bids for stuff I would have won last year.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, there is very little that I actually need to meet my goals.\u00a0\u00a0 I feel like the minimums are pretty well covered, and I’m just building out at this point.\u00a0\u00a0 Not that I feel READY<\/em> for whatever is coming, but I don’t feel doomed.\u00a0 Which probably just means I’m kidding myself or massively underestimating the bad thing.\u00a0 I am trying to not bid on stuff I’d like<\/em> or that I want<\/em>, just because it’s available.\u00a0 7 or 8 auctions closed last night and I didn’t win anything.\u00a0 Didn’t even bid in most of them.<\/p>\n What I did win, I got for an accessory included with the antennas.\u00a0\u00a0 That mesh network crypto mining thing I asked about last a week or more ago must really be busted, there are a bunch of antennas in several different auctions.\u00a0\u00a0 I don’t need a bunch of 900mhz antennas, but the lightning arrestors might be handy.\u00a0\u00a0 They are certainly cheap enough to just grab.\u00a0 And we will be having our local hamfest in March, so I have a place to easily sell them.\u00a0 The 900mhz antennas might even sell there, hams have allocations in the band.\u00a0 Easy to store some meter long sticks.<\/p>\n Today I’ve got to get out to my client’s house.\u00a0\u00a0 I wasn’t able to connect remotely.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I watched the video again, but don’t see what I missed so I’ll have to go through it step by step.\u00a0 Fortunately, now we have the bandwidth on site to watch the video while I’m at the rack, logged into the machine.\u00a0 That’s to get the VPN running.\u00a0\u00a0 The port forwarding is straight forward.\u00a0 I just have to check my notes and do it.<\/p>\n Be open to opportunities outside your normal range.\u00a0\u00a0 Look for alternatives to your normal purchases.\u00a0 Look for alternative ways to uses what might be available.\u00a0 And keep stacking what you know you will need.<\/p>\n nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cool and clear, warming later.\u00a0 Small chance of rain.\u00a0 No chance of snow.\u00a0 ‘cuz that would be cray-cray…\u00a0 It was nice most of yesterday, once it warmed a bit.\u00a0\u00a0 Long pants and layered tops, but the jacket came off in the early morning.<\/p>\n Did my pickup.\u00a0 Did a drop off at my auctioneer.\u00a0\u00a0 Got 5 or six bins of stuff out of the house.\u00a0 Got some stuff for the BOL.\u00a0 No not another freezer!\u00a0<\/p>\n
