To be honest, my day kind of stopped for this Seahawks game. I did a few things this morning, but my day was mostly waiting for the Seahawks to start.
Oh boy, not as great as the LA Rams game two weeks ago, but what a game still.
The score 13 to 3 was low, but did not feel as close as it was. Seattle dominated the 49ers, they were gashing them in the run, not giving anything in the pass. I saw a stat that was the worst offensive game the 49ers played.

Today was the second day of my 4 day weekend. It felt like I did not do much work today, but on reflection, I did a lot of work.
A big chunk of that was a financial check for myself.
I won’t go into detail on a public blog, but it did make me aware of some bumps these year.
In additional to a financial check I started to get rid of some computers and clean up my workspace.
Still a bunch of stuff to go, put it is progress. I think it will take a while to get it to where I want, a bit each day should help.
Forgot to mention, I joined this month challenge where I have to walk 1 mile outdoors. It was cold, but that will replace my workouts.

Another subdued New Years Eve, almost similar to last year 1 sick, and a teenage boy not interested in New Years. At least none of us had to work today, but 5 of us did work yesterday.
Keeping the tradition again, youngest son joined me again.
This year had Toto in spirit with us.
There were some new trees this time around, these are gonna grow and change the view.
This year we were supposed to eat 12 grapes for good luck, I need some luck for 2026
I did get my first mile walking today.
Kind of cool. liking this garmin.
Year of the Fire Horse, technically it starts on Feb 17, 2026.
If I am not under 300 by this time next year it would have been a failure of a year. Goal is shooting for sub 250. Going to be a lot of work to get to that.

It was a sad year, a large part of it was the lost of my dog Toto, I am going to list the bad and good like last year, but losing Toto was truly the most heartbreaking thing of the year for me.
You know on reflection a lot of good things happened this year, overshadowed by 1 huge loss.
Here is the weight to beat next year.

I tried to get the remote power working for the NAS, but there were significant challenges one of which was the connections. I may revisit and simplify the wiring, so not all is lost, there are other options as well like an external device to power it on and off.
I really need to get this project going though, been taking too long.
I did organize the garage more, it is coming along. There is a bit of workspace there now.
Another thing I tried to do today was to mount an iPhone on my Rocky 9 linux box. It was frustrating because the daemon needed only ran on Rocky 8 or Rocky 10. So I feel I have to keep a R8 box around just for iphones.

Got a new chair, this is the first one that I tried out before buying. It can handle more weight and has lumbar support.
Replacing the wheels though.
End of year, need to start a new folder with 2026.

I can see why my prints been warping, my 3D printers are in the garage and it was really cold.
I need to move a few more things around, since another 4 day weekend is coming up for me, I am going to reserve some time to organize the garage more.
Also signed up for this new thing.
Attached it to my new garmin watch. Need to create a new category called garmin.

Was actually able to make some decent progress today organizing the garage. It is actually a place I can do work without having to drag stuff into my office or worse, in the dining room table.
I did run out of time, but may continue tomorrow while watching the football game.
Also considering getting back into gridfinity to organize my workspace.

My time with fitbit has come to an end, after having one for over a decade, today marks the end of my use of it and on to Garmin.
Want to get used to the garmin before the new year arrives. So taking it it for a shakedown. Hit the treadmill today, seemed to work ok. 3D printed a stand for it, but the cold weather and weird shape made it warp.
Another big thing I did today was set my patches to go off a local repository saving the Internet bandwidth.
Found some Rocky 8 boxes while I was doing this, I am considering retiring those as well.

Subdued Christmas this year, kind of quiet, the first one after Toto is gone, so it felt a little sad but not too much.
I did get some cool toys, the top ones are a new watch and document scanner
May do a review in the future on these things. Looks like another motivation to go work out.
For the most part stayed home, after opening gifts I pretty much took a nap.
I needed the rest. Still got 3 more days of my day off, add to that next week which will be another 4 day weekend.
