Wow it’s been a quick week. Already Thursday I've been dealing with sick kids and my list keeps growing. The track jumped off the skid steer. I still have to finish getting the pool setup. And the regular stuff work cows, check fences and mow yards.

Friday! Friday! Friday! Wow it feels like this week has been a month long. I have been neck deep in firewall programming this week. This weekend we have a T-ball tournament. I hope to get the liner in our pool and if I am lucky get some bull calves in the catch pen.

Yes, and we are finding out the coax company does not properly ground their equipment so I guess we will be adding ethernet surge protectors on all our coax clients.

Working in IT I have seen some strange things. Yesterday was one of those. I had a site that had 2 internet connections with failover the failover has been tested and is working.
I get a call that the internet was down at the location. I went onsite and both wan ports were dead on the firewall as well as the DMZ switch.
It looks like lightning hit the coax connection killed the coax modem , DMZ switch and both WAN ports on the Firewall.
Luckily I was able to put a backup firewall in place and get them up on a fiber connection but that was a strange one.

I read through the book. I also used ham radio prep and ham study for testing.
Take the test document what questions you missed on paper or in a spreadsheet. Study those missed questions then test again and document again. Then if you are struggling on a specific section you can reread that section in the book a few times.
You only have to make a 74% which is 26 correct answers so if there is a section that is given you problems you might be able to skip those questions and still pass.

Greg Judy also had a great talk and many great answers to the questions of the crowd. Lunch was good then at the end of they day was a cattle auction with some of the best South Poll cattle from around the country. If you are looking for a gentle cow breed that grows great on grass you need to check out the South Poll.

I come from a log line of quick thinkers. I can usually see where something is going before getting there. If we are working together I may be laying out the next steps to save us time.
When I encounter someone that isn't as quick and has to be explained each step extensively I get frustrated. Now that my company has grown I am having to delegate more which causes more frustration on having to explain each little thing.

Function stacking is something I think about often. When I saw what Edison Motors is doing with EV/Hybrid semi trucks all I could think about is putting the same thing in a class A RV. In an RV you already have a generator to run the AC and people are adding batteries to extend the time they can be off the grid. In an EV/hybrid setup the batteries would serve double duty and you would only need the one generator to charge and the batteries. You could also call this a plug in hybrid with the right setup. Adding solar to the roof would be icing on the cake. What if you have a large 5th wheel toy hauler? Get you a Hybrid semi with one e-axle now you carry your power with you.

Today's recommendation is a whole series of books by John D MacDonald the Travis McGee series https://www.goodreads.com/series/52264-travis-mcgee. I learned about Travis McGee from Mike Rowe. Mike discussed the books in his podcast about how Travis took his retirement a little at a time he would work a big job then retire for a few months before he starts the next one. Mike Rowe decided that he would live this same way big jobs that make good money then retire between them.
I enjoyed the 5 or 6 books that I have read in the Travis McGee series. If you enjoy a good crime drama you should enjoy this series.

Today’s recommendation is an old John Wayne movie called Hellfighters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellfighters_(film) My dad was a volunteer firefighter so I have seen almost every firefighting movie there is. I have watch Hellfighters multiple times as it was one of the Sunday afternoon movies that came on a local television station. I just thought it was a good movie until one day I read an article about Red Adair https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Adair and found out that the person that John Wayne was portraying was based on a real person. This led me down a rabbit hole to find out more about Red Adair. I found the book Red Adair: An American Hero https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/824912 I really enjoyed this book and Red was a very interesting person.
