I want to say the garage is done, but I keep finding little things I want to do.
Need to end this some day, go into normal mode where I do use it but clean up as needed.
I got two active projects on there now, when I clear it out will take a pic.
Concerned about my weight, I second day in a row, I need to trim it under 320 to officially be under 320.
Weight: 322.0
I am building a couple of things and need a bunch of filament. I ran out a bit on the normal petg black I use, then tried to order on Sunlu store, there was none.
I got two rolls of official Sunlu from Amazon, that buys me time, but I also ordered from Sunlu reseller Yoopai as well.
It is weird how there seems to be a shortage of filament.
What is next?

I got so many little things, I am running out of time.
Was hoping TrueNAS was already up, but there is a good chance I will get it done this weekend.
Initiating a large zfs send, users are there already, after I need to recreate the shares.
Before I go live this weekend I will do 1 final sync.
That is not all, building 3 4U mini racks, printers are busy.
Still working on trying to fit fans on the front of my JBOD, heat did go down a bit after I covered all the holes, but I think I need to go 80mm fans. I ordered them and will try them out.

I pulled the trigger on a new firewall. I am nervous at the cost, it came to 905.00, but it has everything I need. RAM and storage included.
There was a cheaper version, but no RAM and RAM is where the rub is.
So in 2026 I got a new NAS and a NEW Firewall.
Looks like I will be in major cost trimming mode for the next few weeks.
Pushing to clean and organize the house. A lot of cool things gonna happen, need it clean.

The JBODs I have been building uses smaller 40mm fans. I am going to see if a 120mm fan or two 80mm will do the trick.
Ordered a converter for a 12V fan to see if it will work. So far this is Frankenstein cover is what I made.
I did it by using the editor to cut a hole in the back and virtually attaching a base.
I am not only going to compare volume, but cooling as well. Currently everything is below 40C degrees and I will consider it success if it stays that way.

I welcome you with open arms Spring 2026, thank you for giving us a nice day.
Today I went cruising around Alki Beach and Lake Washington not only for the first time this year but the first time since Toto Passed
Maybe it was good that I was tired since I did not think too much about it.
Did in early walk too, wanted to catch the sun before it went down.
As I went through my walk, I hit actual sunset
Got a lot done this weekend, first time I accomplished all of the Main todo list. Office is much cleaner and I learned how to install netbox, didn’t finish but I think I understand what it is trying to do.
Also updated the frigate software, looks great. Seems to move faster.

Amazing progress over the past few days, and I still got tomorrow to do some more things.
Garage is functional, workbench is almost clear. Technically I can do work with no problems, and I can also easily access the miter, router, drill press and small saw.
I did screw up something though, maybe I need to call it quits earlier than later in the night, so I can relax.
May have to be up later than usual.
Hoping this time tomorrow will be so far along on the reorg, I can call it done.

Came back to edit this post. It is spring 2026 and it felt like it.
Cool evening walk vs cold evening walk.
Here is this spring goal, drop under 305!!!
Huge Progress In Garage
Kids helped me clean up the garage.
The progress is actually visible.
There is an outside chance I will be finished with it this weekend.
We will see.
Weight: 320.8
Technically I can still go to the gym tomorrow, but I have plans and pretty sure it will be hard fitting in a gym workout.
With that said, I felt great on the gym today, averaged 3.0 MPH which is pretty good for me.
I don’t feel too sore either, when weather improves hoping my body doesn’t ache as much.

It has been a while but I truly feel things are coming together.
Still a ways to go, but I have hope that this and next weekend will mark the completion of the garage.
Going to start getting visibly better. I can move around in the garage and my office. Spring is just around the corner and looking like we are going to have a decent spring cleaning.
Going to push hard to get the garage done this week or next week,
Yard is going to look great too, that will be soon. Downstairs will happen in June or July.
