    Morning all, 52° when I got up this morning and currently 45°. Supposed to get a bit cooler before the temps bounce back to 55° later. Remaining cloudy all day. After 79°, yesterday, we're not expecting anything above 55° for the next week or so. Possibility of rain through the weekend, but...

    Nearly an hour to play catchup. Still nothing pressing yet (👍). I spent the better part of the cold weekend running loads of topsoil for the son's garden. Wife said he was going to have a bundle in it before he even plants anything in it. I said we have $500 in it as well, as his mom hasn't...

    Morning all, Clearing and 60° in Doo-Dah this morning, where it's expected to have a high of 80° after Saturday's low of 12°. Had a little rain overnight, but not enough to make puddles, just make the roads damp. Been a busy weekend and week so far, but this is the first morning I've had...

    Forgot to mention yesterday's weather. Started at 60° and ended up with snow flurries about 6:30p. Supposed to be below average through the weekend with highs about 40°-42° tomorrow and Sunday. Currently sunny and 29°. Boss wants me to start scheduling updates a lot more frequently than once...

    Morning all, Corned beef free day in this Catholic house as our local bishop said only members of the St. Patrick churches in our Diocese could refrain from abstinence this year. Different Bishop then the last time St. Patrick's day was on a Friday. I told our priest last week that since I...

    Morning all, Not much yet but expecting a ***tstorm when the city manager gets in. Seems the council members who demanded city emails are unhappy that since the move, their not getting emails forwarded to their personal emails boxes, when we specifically asked our provider not to allow email...

    Afternoon all, Been busy fixing some other "minor" stuff with our new email system. While most of it is small fixes, some are still taking up a lot of time, like granting view access to the conference rooms, for something other than "Free or Busy". Most want to know who has booked the room...

    Professional Engineer. While you don't need the license to do the work, you do need the license to certify and sign off legally on any electrical plans, usually in industrial applications. Colder day today, high of maybe 40 in a bit. Supposed to warm up again and drop like a rock to the low...

    Morning all, I hate DST. Currently 35° and cloudy once again, going for a high of 48°. Daughter #2 is bringing her dogs for us to for the next 2 weeks as they are taking a small vacation over spring break. We're cheaper than having to board them. The dogs do know us and are pretty good about...

    Tearing down the layout and moving on.

    Sorry to hear you need to tear down (Good reason though!). My current layout was kind of built in modules as well, but not so tear down friendly. Having terrible knees, I also don't have any duckunders. I put lift out sections as I had to reconfigure the layout a bit to accommodate the current...

    Morning all, Email move went off with the "rain" delay and we managed to get almost everyone back in. There are some stragglers that we need to touch along with getting the copy machines setup to send scans to email. I figured out 2 of them (2 different companies) and there are multiples of...

    Well, "rain" delay of 2 hours, but email is moving...to the new cloud server. Tell people to stay out of email, and 30 people send me emails, (after the stay out on Thursday until we notify you messages the past few days) whether email is ready. I can't wait to see how many open the test spam...

    Morning all, First issue of the move email project...turns out we need to change our MX record and I can't do it as we have that contracted to another company that doesn't open until 9:00a. It's a delay, but not the end of the world. Hopefully that's the only glitch....probably not...

    Afternoon all, Meetings done for today. Tomorrow I get to assist moving off our Exchange server and onto Microsoft's 365 email. They spent an hour going over with me how I change accounts, assign licenses, etc. So far everything is looking good. Once we get the email moved, we'll have to get...

    Morning all, Went home yesterday afternoon and am here today for several meetings. Tomorrow starts the migration of email to the cloud and no longer a server I need to maintain, per se. Updates and upgrade are them a worry for the provider and not us, although I still have things I'll have to...
