Well, announced to #sonOne and #Daddy_A that there's no money available for their kids' Christmas gifts this year. #sonTwo already specifically requested no gifts this year.
.
I'm probably going to videochat with #GD1 and #GD2 to tell them myself. I'll text #GS1 also.

Final (?) decision: Neither I nor #sonOne will ship our existing servers to #sonTwo; that model (a used Dell PowerEdge 2950 Gen 3) was chosen specifically because we each have one (makes support easier). We may look at getting a cheap LEB VPS that 2nd son and #Daddy_A can log into and practice on while they await their physical servers.

@geniusmusing You might say I'm the one that is nuts for buying these used servers when I'm gone so often. But #sonOne got his first one for $99, and before I knew it, I'd found five more for the same price*. I was going to ship one to @amic, but it would have cost more to ship than I paid for it (including shipping) to begin with. * #sonTwo bought one for me as a present, exp…

@sean Your quest to join the USAF helped me to speak up. When #sonOne joined the USNavy in the #1990s, I vehemently disagreed. As a result of that disagreement and his somewhat difficult teen years, we barely spoke for about twelve years. Yesterday, I finally told him that the military benefited him (maturity, training & experience, a pattern of income) that he never would hav…

I just had about 2 1/2 hours of (separate) videochats with #sonOne and #sonTwo (and #GD1 and #GD2). The little girls are a lot more animated and engaged on video than they are on regular phone calls.
I already videochat regularly with my 31 year old son (and his family) and my 8 year old granddaughter, so it was great to have her sister and her dad join in.

Started executing my part of the 'midwest assignment maneuver' ... noticed that the last time I was "home" for the holidays was 2014. I did see #sonOne and family during the 2015 and 2017 seasons.
.
The goal of this maneuver is to see both #sonOne and #sonTwo this year; my stated reason for ending this assignment is "spend holidays with family".

@moonman https://www.amazon.com/12U-4-Post-Open-Rack/dp/B0037ECAJA is the rack I and #sonOne have, but there’s a little human there, so some sort of enclosure might be better.

@geniusmusing KC (where #sonOne lives) is the middle. The other two live in Omaha NE and Springfield MO.

This is interesting. I told #sonOne that I was considering a position with #sonTwo’s employer at almost a 50% pay cut. He replies with an opening at his employer for only a 25% cut.
They are 2.5 to 3 hours apart, and I want to see #GS3 nearly every day, so we’ll have to see.

#sonOne told me that he went to a parent conference for #GD1, where he learned that she's on track to earn to two "F" grades, one "D-" grade, and one "D" grade. She was playing games instead of doing homework. Naturally, they've taken her electronics and now she has to do her homework in the kitchen instead of her room.

@hobbsc @bob @deavmi I want to send a few BBBs to #sonOne. I should preinstall #FreedomBone on one before shipping. Does it also work on the BeagleBone Green?
-
@jim Whenever someone asks me "why" using only that word, I'm tempted to reply "MCA." (Taken together, it forms "YMCA" ... the Village People #song from the late #1970s or early #1980s). #sonOne never understood it, while #sonTwo started avoiding the situation.
-
I think I'll try to do a short WebRTC call with #sonOne and #GD2 for her upcoming birthday. It's been just about three months since I've seen her.
-
@kevie #sonOne and I both planned to get #Steam machines, but neither of us has one yet.
-
@jim @nds Until my hair changed colors, people thought I was fifteen years younger than my real age. Which irritated #sonOne, who looked older than I did. Now I look older than he does, but he's graying quick.
-
Talked to #sonOne(and briefly to #GD1, #GD2) for his birthday.

@nybill @kevie #sonOne, #sonTwo, #Daddy_A, #faveNephew are still "wee laddies" even in their twenties and thirties. Even if Weeguy was finishing high school, he'd be a wee guy to his parents, uncles, aunts, grandparents.
