Wind chimes an old retired telco lady I worked with that we shared boxer love sent me. They are even tuned as she knew I’m a drummer. Ugh the hits keep coming.

You all I miss the hell out of Aurora the PacketPup……

It is with the most broken of hearts to say that Aurora the PacketPup is no longer with us. This is one of my favorite photos of her playing the bongos. She's gone from earth but not from us. Aurora...I love you to all ends forever

The #BeKindToEachOther wait beings. Walked Aurora and a neighbor has ground bee's I saw. Want to spray them as he's got a kid, but also don't want to because the chemicals so waiting for him to come home

Anyone willing to give me advice on a couple interview and willing to call me to tell me how dumb I am?

This is what I mean, stopped to talk to a fellow mens league hockey neighbor and his dog (blame Aurora) talked until dark but then another neighbors dog was out (Aurora friend) we stopped, he barked, and owner walked out and laughed and said, oh, okay it's just them and shut the door lol

I hate to be annoying but still asking for linked in reviews to boost my profile to hopefully find a job. Also, wish I had someone to talk to

Well, no formal training but wanted to finish this python SNMPGET GUI Tester. Still more to clean up but it functions. Yay me?! www.packetpilot.com/python-snmp-...

Last post, will be a multiple stream but on my value. #bekindtoeachother The last 7 days I allowed my sister, dad, and nephew to come visit (nothing unusual) she brought her dog (no worries Aurora gets alone with her fine). It extends though. Nephew brought his friend (char limit.)

No one hey? Me, lost and dead thoughts. Old angsty punk rock music. Old dreams but men’s mental health is taboo. Don’t talk about your feelings I guess. Suck it up dude. Pick that pick axe up and be a man and shut up. That’s what they say.

Was asked to put together an overview/entry to I.T. doc for a kid I met at his parent's food truck (tent). I did my best but I'm no expert in everything or a genius word smith. Please see my post and DM with additons/suggestions. www.packetpilot.com/entering-i-t...

Yesterday’s smoke session. I smoke the cheddar too for the smoke Mac and cheese. A little over done but that was on purpose due to sharing with picky neighborhood kiddos.

I give up. No one cares and that’s okay but lots just breaking me right now and no it’s not just I.T.

No one? Having only the neighborhood gang of kids as the only ones in your life (of course Aurora but she can’t talk) sucks. They don’t understand the adult life problems and it’s 10:30 so they aren’t even around for distraction. #alone #lost #sad #confused

I’m not sure how to say this but I’m getting tired of being me. #BeKindToEachOther is tiring when you are struggling. It’ll always be me, I won’t quit don’t get me wrong. Mom would strike me down. But it’s hard when you have no one around and have your own hard thoughts.

I always take my sunglasses off when walking Aurora and end up in extended conversation with a neighbor. Am I weird. I feel it’s respect for eye contact and emotion during convo. I don’t do it when it’s a quick doggo pet.

My lawn care guy showed up at lunch time. He doesn’t have to but just always pushes through his jobs. Put together a make your own ham sandwich cooler for him. #bekindtoeachother

Well, I guess I'm going to start from the ground up since all my Cisco Certs expired during my chaotic life the last couple years.

I can't shake this defeat from yesterday this morning. Didn't get much sleep. Ugh
