#sonTwo's main job re-opened, so he's back to work. He quit one of the secondary jobs, so he's working around 56 hours per week right now.

Weird. When I look back to junior high school (technically, my school was an "intermediate school" with 7th and 8th grades; a real junior high adds 9th grade), I see some of the most "challenging" times of my life. So it was really odd to see the widespread change from junior high and intermediate schools to middle schools in the ten to twelve years between when #sonOne went th…

#GS3 received his books and shirts today. When #sonTwo got home, the floor had books scattered all over it.
-
#coin_laundry day. Also shipped a package to #sonOne ( for #GD1 and #GD2 ) and one to #sonTwo ( for #GS3 and my granddoggy ). I may ship to #Daddy_A on Thursday.
-
Talked to #sonOne, #GD1, #GD2 for about an hour. #sonTwo is at work. About to call #Daddy_A.
-
#sonOne is working 10-12 hours per day, mostly remote. #sonTwo is working 16 hours per day on-site. I need to ask them both whether there is any rioting near them. I already asked #Daddy_A, but he has not answered yet.
-
Talked with #sonTwo, his wife, and #GS3 tonight. I need to go visit. Right now, I think my grandson thinks I only exist on screens.
I mean I need to visit before the tentative holiday plans, so that they'll be more "welcome back" than "what are you doing outside Daddy's cellphone".
-
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.
-
I missed #sonTwo and #GS3's bedtime call.
-
#sonTwo working another sixteen hour day today, so it is unlikely that I'll get to videochat with #GS3 tonight. Maybe I'll log into the #Mumble ... I haven't done that in a while.
-
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…

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.

#GS3 experienced an ancestral treasure today. He had his first grilled cheese sandwich. (Used to be #sonTwo's favorite food, until he discovered quesadillas.)
-
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…
-
Okay, I think that's going on our calendar whenever I'm in that area. ("Our" == me, #sonTwo and his wife, #GS3; potentially #GS1 and / or #GS2, too, as they are in that corner of #KS.)
-
While I was on #Wire with #sonTwo and #GS3, some of my siblings had their own videochat on #JitsiMeet with my mom. Apparently, it did not go so well this time, so they went on #Zoom (without my mom). One of my brothers sent me an e-mail where he accused me of brainwashing her against Zoom. I sent a long response. It took me a while to write, so hopefully I got past reacting to…

Probably time to look into replacing Rutabaga (the Lenovo IdeaPad with 2G of RAM and 32G of eMMC disk). I was using it to look up some instructions for something I was doing on another machine. One link opened YouTube in another tab and immediately froze the machine. After a reboot, I went back in. The next link opened a tab full of #JavaScript. The #JabbaShit, predictably, suc…

#GS3 got his hands on a ball-point pen, so he's got a home-made tattoo on his leg. He had to lift his leg and show his grandpa his work. He also drew on a piece of cardboard, which he also showed me. He really enjoys scribbling. We'll see if this leads to a long-term affection for writing / drawing / painting. #sonTwo is getting fewer hours at $TEMP_JOB, so he's looking forward…

"Mega Warheads" were the ones I remember. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warheads_(candy)
#sonTwo used to eat these all the time. I could eat them occasionally, but the intense sourness is too much for me.
-
Rutabaga, the little laptop with Lubuntu 18.04 LTS on it, will have to have 20.04 LTS installed fresh. According to Lubuntu.me, there have been enough changes over the past two years that a b0rken system would be the result if I upgraded directly. (Going to tell #sonTwo as well, as he installed the same on his wife's old machine.)
