Not a whole lot since I am working from home.

But that does let me work on low bandwidth projects.

1. The new server.  I picked up a Raspberry Pi rack from etsy and I am setting
it up with 2.5" hard drives and a couple Raspberry Pis.  So far, it seems to be
working.

I can work on the Pis in between application builds.

2. One of my non-computer hobbies is renovating old Tonka/Buddy L trucks.  I
have 2 plain ones that have been sitting around for a while and am going to
finish them up to give to a co-worker who recently had a kid.

It only takes a few minutes to put on a coat of paint then I have to wait - and
work.


Unfortunately, my workspace it taken up with my daily work.  So playing with my
new birthday present (a fancy desoldering tool) has to be put on hold.

And I had to put my TRS-80 Model 4P on the shelf to make room on the desk.  So
playing with that's on hold.

I'm getting a Tandy 1400LT today.  We'll see about that.
