The youngest dog also was a bit … surprised … with the sound of the smallpipes. I haven’t played any of the bagpipes since before she was here, and decided to pull them out.
She started baying.
Either loved it, or hated it. Clearly. I chose love.
Finally starting to try and get back to regular exercise. Doing yoga first thing every day, and starting to mix in some other exercise. Today I got back on the rowing machine for the first time in a while. Been doing a little weights (very little). #eversoslowly
Our youngest pupper loves playing in the hose water … none of our other dogs over have, so this is (charming) new ground for me.
She’s also a complete terror in so many ways, and fearless, which is probably why she wasn’t afraid of the water from the hose.
Small Network Upgrade
I updated my Ubiquiti home gateway from the USG and CloudKey2 to the UDM; it was pretty easy (backup configs for cloudkey and protect, and load them into those sections of the UDM, connect and it eventually rebound all devices). The higher powered UDM solves two problems.
First , it lets me get full speed on my pathetic 75up/7down network while having “smart queues” (QoS) enabled (the USG would only do about 40/5).
Second, I can turn all the goodies back on that would have further slowed the USG; intrusion detection, network scanning, and deep packet inspection.
Got fed up with needing to keep keyboard and mouse for both my computers (in my dual setup) within reach (when I mostly use my PC for streaming/audio), so I installed Synergy and it has been working great so far! Cut/Paste has already been a win, too.
Other options too! Come join Keybase!
