Status: Livingroom is clear, but there is a few items I put back in the cars for storage. The family is coming over just after noon.
Plans: Help my sweetheart prepare for today’s feast.
Narrative: Got up around 8 and it was a pretty day this morning. Had my morning brew which was terrific as always. We’re planning a fire today, so I got on the roof this morning to move the PiAware from the chimney where it has lived for a couple days. I finally decided to mount the antenna on the top of a rotating vent (Which I stopped from rotating.) I ran a wire from the chimney 12V power to the Pi to supply the 8W of power it needs to keep running.
Mash sweet potatoes and put them in a bowl, that was my offering for dinner today.
The families arrived a little after 1PM and left well after 7PM so everybody was having a great time.
I received a portable radio and a wind up emergency radio from Santa this year. Both turned out to be excellent products. (Hard sometimes to get something substantial from Amazon without it being junk.)
Repairs: My Internet connection has started failing occasionally, I don’t know whether it’s a DNS problem with the Pi-Holes or it is a connectivity issue. I started a “Smoke” ping to the first Comcast gateway. That will prove the connectivity is not the issue. (But I think it is.) I checked the modem, the logs say it has been up for weeks. The RF links are also well above the minimum readings so I doubt that’s an issue. The cameras are complaining the most and they are after the Sophos firewall, so I can eliminate that as an issue. I’ve looked at the Fortigate logs, nothing there suggests that it’s going offline.
