This Month’s News…

Mom & Dad returned from their tour of the “Emerald Isle” on the first of the month. Take a look here to see where they went and what they saw.

The big project this month was the “spring cleaning” of the garage. Unfortunately, we do not have any “before” pictures. However, any attempt to get a car of any size in the garage before the cleanup would have required a bulldozer leading the way!

One of the major tasks during the cleaning was consolidating the contents of a bunch of toolboxes and stashing them in a brand new tool cabinet. Both Dad and Pop-Pop belong to the “Never Throw a Useful Tool Away” gang. As a result, the trash guys and/or neighborhood “pickers” became the proud owners of a half-dozen or so of empty toolboxes of various vintages.

We wish all those Dads out there a belated “Happy Father’s Day.” We treated Dad and Pop-Pop to a “free” lunch paid for by Dad!

Cosmo had a landslide win in the annual defurminator contest. Winnie was once more a very distant second.

In June of last year Pop-Pop’s PCs and printers located in the basement had a long-standing issue…random loss of connectivity to the existing household WiFi network. He finally got tired of coping with this PITA issue, spent a few dollars and installed a separate Wireless Mesh Network to provide networking services in the basement. The mesh network has been online 24×7 for a year. Pop-Pop says to date it has has far exceeded his initial performance and reliability expectations.

That’s it for this month, enjoy the pictures.
