Day 19,964
It’s Thursday night here in rural Douglas County, and we finally have a degree of liftoff on the pool situation. The water level has stabilized, still needs a few hundred more gallons of water (Rob the Pool Guy said our pool was around 35,000 gallons of water). Tomorrow, I’ll get the hose back in the …

Day 19,963
It’s a Wednesday night in rural Douglas County, and we have some thunderstorms rolling in from the west. It’s raining outside, albeit lightly, but I’m confident we’ll get some measurable rainfall tonight. I remember my Grampa Reinsch (for those of you looking at the genealogy record, that will be Francis Alan Reinsch, 1899-1983) and his habit …

Alrighty, this is my first attempt at writing my blog live since the thunderstorms rolled through last night and put a big hurt on our internet access. Hope you all are doing well. The sad part about this process is that it’s one way. I can tell my future grandkids about me and my life, …

(Written yesterday, couldn’t post due to internet outage – RAR, 5/15/2018) OK, gang! here’s tonight’s entry from rural Douglas County, but to be completely honest, I have no idea if this is going to be able to post tonight. We’ve got some thunderstorms rolling through the area, and they are definitely affecting my ability to …

Day 19,960
OK, it’s the end of a wonderful Mother’s Day around rural Douglas County. I wish I had been around for more of it. Let me explain. I woke up this morning, and as can be the natural order of things, I went to check my cell phone before I attempted to call my mother on …

Day 19,959
It’s Saturday, and we’ve spent the day tackling fourteen different things around the house, but hey, we stay busy, we get done what we can get done, and some things we have defer for a day or two. The pool situation is getting addressed, slowly but surely, and one of the guys from the pool …

Day 19,958
Friday night in rural Douglas County and your old fat Grampa Bob is chilling with his headphones on listening to some classic metal on the Pandora music service. The work week is over, and I am very glad to have that particular class over with. The students were great, but the virtual machines were running …

Day 19,957
It’s a Thursday afternoon, and I’m writing this from Leawood, Kansas, as I close out the work day here at the training center. Meanwhile, back in Douglas County, the girls are wrapping up their finals. Gracie is done, Bonnie has one more tonight, I think, and she’s going to want to borrow my car tomorrow …

Day 19,956
Hey, gang, it’s a Wednesday, and I’m wrapping up my work day before I head home and try to figure out how to run the pool sweep. I’m really excited about that. Not really. But… Lisa is very excited about the prospect of having the pool ready to use by Memorial Day weekend, so that …

Tuesday, and I’m still hanging out in the office, watching remote students generate a lot of red text while running Powershell commands that contain illegal characters. You have to watch out for those copy and paste options because when you paste directly from the curriculum into your PowerShell session, you can throw some oddball characters into …
