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.
-
#Daddy_A is applying at some places that I know he would not like to work. I am very thrilled to see this, because he's been off work (for medical reasons) about five years. It isn't likely that he'll easily get his dream job.

.
When I was in high school, my friends were mostly Beatles fans. They used to chase me around the campus, singing this song I disliked. Years later, when #sonTwo and #Daddy_A were in middle school, a friend would buy Beatles cassettes to give to the older of the two. Even then, I said I am the walrus would not be allowed.

@moonman I think I would up getting https://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-Enclosure-Cabinet-SR12UB/dp/B0043WF9E8/ ... which is close to what I paid for the other 3 racks I bought combined. (Thankfully, so far, #Daddy_A has shown no interest in the world of servers.)
-
When #Daddy_A told me about this today, I was glad when he said they were not going to give up.
-
#Daddy_A is glad that his weather radio arrived today. Meanwhile, at #sonTwo’s house, #GS3 really likes his new texture ball.
-
Got this for #Daddy_A. He was in #AZ when I sent these to the older kids a few years ago. https://nu.federati.net/attachment/250292

Text message this morning from #Daddy_A talking about health challenges. He has partial sensation in his legs, none in his feet, pain in his back, and another growth on his neck. His wife suddenly started having seizures and passing out at work. He said this is why he's been silent.
-
#Daddy_A says he’s aware that he has to make more effort to communicate with me and his brothers. He just goes silent for weeks at a time. I’m glad to hear that he’s aware of the problem. I can’t expect him to magically become the family communication hub, but if he makes a little bit of progress in answering when we call him, people will notice.
-
#Daddy_A’s birth certificate has the wrong date, but I cannot expect them to correct it thirty years later.
-
How is it still over 90F in Mesa #AZ (where #Daddy_A used to live) in the third week of September? That’s crazy.
It was about 85F here in #Sac.
-
I had a delightful videochat conversation with #sonTwo, his wife, and #GS3. We talked about the island assignment offer and whether we could find a way to continue having these chats regularly if I was in the other timezone.
I’ve just hinted at it with #sonOne, because I’m sure it would be even harder to continue my chats with seven year old #GD2.
It’s already hard to schedule time with #Daddy_A to chat with those kids. We *think* we’ll have one this Saturday, for the first time this year.
-
@amic Yeah. I know. I always worked evenings, weekends, and holidays. Fifteen years after that changed, I still don't know what to do with myself on Saturdays.
.
But I was off almost every Wednesday when #sonOne was in high school. When #sonTwo and #Daddy_A were in middle school and high school, that changed to Tuesdays and Thursdays.
.
Naturally, those were the days I got the kids (plus the odd weekend).
-
After three or four back surgeries, #Daddy_A is starting to feel parts of his legs. But definitely not his feet. He hasn’t felt his feet in four to six years.
-
The two youngest ( #sonTwo, #Daddy_A ) are both feeling stress over their wives medical issues and the related financial impacts.
-
I really do enjoy these weekly videochats with #sonTwo and his wife and #GS3. It isn’t quite the same as when #Little_Boy_A was that age, because #Daddy_A and family were right around the corner and I saw him in person multiple times each week, but it is still helping us attach.
-
Someone at work was walkie-talkie-ing with his child at school using something called #Relay https://relaygo.com/ ... has anyone heard of this before? Opinions?
I’m not planning to buy this for any grandkids, but I sent the link to #sonOne and #Daddy_A (who both have school age kids) for them to decide for themselves. I made sure to say I wasn’t endorsing it, having just heard of it right before I sent them the link.
-
#sonTwo has arrived in #NE, and is approaching #Daddy_A’s house.
-
#Daddy_A found another lump on his neck. The last one (removed last year, non-malignant) was on the side and partially under his jawbone. This one is more toward the back of his neck.
