Finally got around to installing an “extender” SATA card into my media server, to add more drives…and of course, it doesn’t work. ๐ค ๐พ ๐ท

The “view” from inside the front door this morning. ๐ฅถ๐ง๐ท

Went skiing earlier, the first time in seven years. We had a great time but good grief, I’m sore…where is a hot-tub when you need one?! ๐คฃโท๏ธ๐ท
(Not pictured: the massive amount of beginners on the slopes, they were everywhere, crashing into everything. ๐ฎโ๐จ)
-
I had a craving earlier today and yea, it isnโt healthy at all but as itโs 10ยฐF, so eating bad food doesnโt count. ๐คฃ๐ฅถ
It would have been better if we went to Chicago but the pizza was still dang tasty! ๐๐ท

We normally take down Christmas on January 6th (growing up, we’d leave Christmas up until Epiphany) but given the craziness of last weekend (trip to the theater, an engagement party, chores, & migraines), we just didn’t get to it…so tonight is it, say farewell to the Home Alone house. ๐๐ท

Snowfall and a Show
Over the weekend, my Partner and I were offered tickets to see Mrs. Doubtfire at the local theater. ๐ญ It was an unexpected treat (our friends had just come back from London and were rather jet-lagged), both the show and the holiday decoration in the theater.๐ ๐ท
It was also the first serious snowfall of the season. ๐จ๏ธ It was mostly melted by the time we woke up in the morning but it was a pretty drive home (took back roads, to avoid all the people who are bad at driving in snow ๐คฃ). โ๏ธ
All in all, it was a lovely night. ๐๐ป

Whilst out walking on my lunch break, I saw some winter lettuce. ๐ ๐ถ๐ผโโ๏ธ ๐ฅฌ ๐ท
It was good to get out of the house for some fresh air; I really need to do more of that this Winter.

So, I did a thing last night…I finally moved to a new server case. ๐๐ท
It took far longer to get started than I though it would and I ended up with a bloody hand (it’s a very nice case but that metal is sharp ๐คฃ)…and I haven’t installed case fans yet but…the server is back online and running!

Holiday Lights @ the Gardens ๐๐ท
Last weekend, my partner and I went to see some holiday lights at our local botanical garden. It was a wonderful time, they always so such a great job of decorating things and of course, me being me, I took well over two hundred photos (yes, I’m that guy). I wanted to post them all but that would be a little overkill, instead, here are 30-ish of the best ones.
Note: I wanted to post these photos the day after we went to the garden but I wasn’t really in-love with any of the gallery plugins available…so I ended up making my own.
When all was said and done, everyone had a great time. ๐ฅฐ๐๐ท

It’s hard to stay up all night, running around the house, keeping everyone up… ๐ค๐ผ๐
I guess I have become a crazy cat person, all I seem to do lately is take pictures of Alex. ๐น๐ท
-
Someone is very upset they’re not allowed to eat this morning before going to the vet… ๐น
Alex is making his displeasure known, to everyone in the house. ๐ ๐ท

My Partner and I went out to dinner with my little brother and his girlfriend tonight…and it was the best sushi of my life. ๐ฃ๐ท
So full and so happy. ๐

We went to see the lights at the local botanical gardens this weekend, it was a fantastic evening and the lights were gorgeous; will be posting photos in a day or three… ๐๐ท

I walked into the bedroom and he turned around to glare at me; evidently interrupting his bird watching wasn’t the best of ideas… ๐คฃ ๐ท ๐

Follow-Up: The IKEA Sonos speaker is working perfectly (which is more than I could ever say of the HomePod Mini stereo set up) this morning; holiday music is flooding the room whilst I’m debugging some legacy Java code. ๐ค๐ (Yes, I had a spare speaker lying around… ๐คฃ) ๐ท
