Shared a recent Phoenix area temperature with #Daddy_A. He said the temperatures are one thing he does not miss.

When #sonTwo and #Daddy_A were in middle school, I stopped telling them to pull up their pants in public places. I started singing the "Barney" theme song as loudly as possible ... they would quickly make sure no underpants were showing. No "that's my generation's style" arguments, either.

It looks like #Daddy_A's #NAS box will arrive Saturday 2020-05-23. Assuming nothing gets placed on the wrong truck. (Someone in the Fediverse recently ordered a product from Kentucky for delivery in New Jersey. Somehow, the product got shipped to SoCal before heading back to NJ.)

#Daddy_A told me that #Little_Girl_A3 likes the book of Bible stories that I sent for her, so I got some individual stories:
* Moses
* Good Samaritan
* Joseph
They were only 99c each (guess where I found them), so I also got the same ones for her cousin #GS3.

During today's #videochat with #sonOne, we talked about network stuff (CLNS, IS-IS, OSPF, token ring, FDDI, the OSI protocol stack, TCP/IP, IPX/SPX), job-hunting, updates on #sonTwo's work status and #Daddy_A's birthday ( did I mention that "we" ordered his NAS box? ), vehicle repairs, Star Wars/Mandalorian, imported Japanese-market Transformers toys, and idiotic people whose b…

Heard from 31 year old #Daddy_A that there are tornado warnings in the Omaha, #NE, area.
-
Got away with calling #Daddy_A by his childhood nickname in #Wire. Usually he sends a grimacing face icon in reply, but this time he did not.
-
#Daddy_A received the gifts for his kids. I didn't send clothing, so I likely will not get photos.
-
http://status.hackerposse.com/url/21030 maybe this one. The two older boys have some professional use for the devices along with being the family Plex server. #Daddy_A does not. He’s probably going to be off for at least three more years (until #Little_Girl_A3 is in first grade), assuming the next back surgery goes well. The DS220j is probably a step down from the DS218 m…

https://www.amazon.com/Synology-bay-DiskStation-DS218-Diskless/dp/B077PJX8TH Wondering whether I can get #sonOne and #sonTwo to contribute toward getting this for #Daddy_A. Either way, he'll have to come up with his own HDDs / SSDs. For me, the NAS is more of an irritant than anything else, because I really only want remote storage / backup ... a network file system, not an app platform atop remote storage. But I'm one of the few who feel this way.

Saw some “Fruit Stripe Gum” (formerly made by Beech-Nut), so I bought a pack and sent it along with #Daddy_A’s shipment. I’ve probably seen it later than the #1970s, but I’d guess it has been between 20 and 35 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHxM7tt89ns (I remember this commercial.)
-
Speaking of gardens, #sonOne bought strawberry plants. Strawberries ???? are #GD2’s favorite food. #sonTwo planted some veggies, but I’m not sure exactly what he planted. I have something like thirty packets of seed to plant ... and I’m way behind schedule, because it is already too warm for certain plants. ( #Daddy_A talked about a garden, but I have heard nothing more…

#Daddy_A (who turns 31 this month) sent me a YouTube link ... the grandkids are (briefly) in the background of a video. I honestly can’t tell it is them, but not posting the link for privacy reasons.
-
Meanwhile, I'm glad I don't live in the Phoenix metro area. In Mesa, #AZ, where #Daddy_A used to live, it is currently 102F
If you don't know the Fahrenheit scale, think decimals. 0F / -18C is dangerously cold ... can kill if you are not prepared. 100F / 38C is dangerously hot ... can kill if you are not prepared. In between is a range of cold through hot, that most people survive fine. Human scale.

#Daddy_A said they have Animal Crossing, so I don't have to worry about it.
-
@geniusmusing LOL.
AFAIK, my 7 year old grandson #Little_Boy_A does not have a Facebook account. But if #Daddy_A set one up for him, he’d likely not tell me.
-
Before I commit, I should talk to @rye and @amic about Animal Crossing ... another grandchild (and a cousin's child also) had some negative interactions on #Roblox, so I want to know about the online interaction part. #Daddy_A is pretty savvy, so he may already know what to do to prevent bad things, but I want to know before I introduce it into their home.

https://emojipedia.org/grimacing-face/ ???? is what #Daddy_A sends me when I call him by his childhood nickname.
-
In related news, #Daddy_A and the family will be passing through my area of #SoCal sometime this Summer ... going to visit his sister-in-law. If I'm still here, I'll get to see them.

#sonOne’s $EMPLOYER was purchased by a competitor, but he believes that he has a good chance of being kept because he works hard and knows his stuff. He sometimes writes tutorials for their NOC staff. #sonTwo is delivering #pizza and working at a large retailer ... 60+ hours / week ... almost making what his job paid. #Daddy_A is the stay-at-home dad ... his wife had only…
