I has been a different Sunday for me

Quite relaxing actually. It started with a blissful calm and quiet as I leisurely drank my morning cup of coffee. Have I shared with you how much I hate beginning my day rushing, or having some distracting noise like a vacuum cleaner, washer, dryer or leaf blower going during my quiet time?

After I finished coffee, I prepared oatmeal for breakfast. One of several positive aspects to having my Father living with me now is a much improved semi-annual cholesterol test result. I attribute it mostly to the morning oatmeal, but I'm sure the fact that we rarely eat out contributes as well.

After breakfast I headed out on my morning bike ride. I was not yet 8 AM and the temperature here was already rapidly approaching 90 degrees. I keep promising myself I should ride then have coffee, did I mention how much I like my coffee first thing? There were not many people out, but it is always dead here at this time of year. Everyone that can has fled North to a cooler climate.

After my ride, I managed to cool down doing several items on my todo list, then had the energy to vacuum and mop. Have I mentioned how much I hate household chores. I will continue to promise myself to hire a maid.

After lunch my Father and I watched "No Country for Old Men". It was a wonderful movie, but since it didn't have John Wayne in it my Father napped through most of it. I think I must bring that out in people. I hope to meet someone to share movies with someday.

After the movie, I made my first ever batch of cold slaw, without mayonnaise. I think it is pretty good, so if no one else does too frak'n bad. I think for my next culinary adventure I am going to try enchiladas.

Well that pretty much sums up my Sunday. I don't have much energy left for anything else.

Due to the fact that RHEL/CentOS server software lags so far behind, today I converted one of my servers to an Ubuntu server. I almost regret installing from their live server image as opposed to their live workstation image. The basic install went well I thought all text based. But upon first boot I couldn't login. Thankfully google showed me how to boot into init 2, mode and after several tries to the key sequence right to get the grub menu I booted and discovered the admin user i specified was never created. After fixing that, rebooting and logging in as new user with admin, i discovered networking was not configured. After googling manual ubuntu network configure, I discover that bionic uses a new network configuring system called netplan. Anyway, the server is now networked and currently updating all the packages. Hopefully I will have it all up and running before my new ASUS Tinkerboard arrives today.
