Woke up face down on my uncharged mobile phone. Went to Lowes and bought some nice planks to put on top of a broken glass table I found. Discovered one of my push button hood pins on the Dodge don’t work right, the fun way. Bought bright green tie down straps for the Dodge. Verbally […]

Recently the I had a need to add additional systems to a DFS-R group but discovered replication in general was broken. Ran the report and was told this: “A database problem is blocking replication on volume D:” Lucky for me I deal with shitty systems regularly and this was just another Monday. Here’s the 5 […]

I just woke up from a weird dream and wanted to keep the memory. Before I start, I haven’t heard from her in almost 2 months except for her saying one time to give her time. So this next bit is completely out of nowhere. I don’t have a reason why but I didn’t question […]
