Today is very strange. And not just because of April Fools.

I let my home automation platform (NUC + Ubuntu + Home Assistant on Docker) slip on updates for a very long time. This morning, I decided to go scorched earth and rebuild it all with Proxmox and Home Assistant OS.

I have regrets. We’ve forgotten how to use a house that is not smart.

It’s so dark.

CLOSED CAPTIONS DRIVE ME CRAZY.

there. i said it.

👊🇺🇸🔥

Just did a food allergy test and had reactions to wheat, malt, hops, almonds, peanuts, carrots, celery, turkey, rice, coffee, green pepper, and orange.

Really great for someone who loves bread, beer and Asian food.

And now for a bit of normalcy. Back to work with no travel planned for a bit.

I am at a party called the clam jam and it is beautiful.

Has anyone ever considered that Donald Trump is a weirdo, huge bitch and also a complete piece of shit?

2,800 miles, endlessly beautiful landscapes, off-roading, good food, good beer, good times, and we escaped both life threatening situations that we got ourselves into.

Spring Break road trip success.

You know that song about the combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell?

I just went to a combination Indian, Mexican, Burger joint in Ogallala, Nebraska.

Can’t quite come up with some catchy lyrics for it tho.

The power’s out in the entire city of Moab, but the wood fired pizza place is still cooking. Oh yeah baby.

I think I drove through a haboob in Eastern Nebraska today. It was pretty intense.

First time filling up my Rotopax at the gas station and a dude comes up and excitedly asks “what, are those gas cans? Are you preparing for the apocalypse or something?”

Getting ready for a trip to Moab, and I’m charging batteries, updating firmware, and clearing memory cards for 4 different cameras.

I have a problem.

I love Tesler because everything’s computer.

My plumber talks like Ace Ventura and I don’t think he’s being ironic. Super friendly dude, who says “allllllrighty then” and everything.

Eases the pain of living in a malfunctioning house.

It’s 79° in Des Moines, Iowa on March 10.

wtf.

Running around and talking shit with college buddies in rural Minnesota… doesn’t get a whole lot better.

Man, I just wanna hang and play golf and do yoga and travel and shit

I often think about that NOFX lyric where fat mike says, “majority rule, don’t work in mental institutions.”
