It's hard, I get it. But if everyone listened we'd be in a much better situation.
We went out for a leisurely drive yesterday. Drove about 2 hours, stayed more than 6ft away from other cars....

But seriously, just getting out of the house was a big mental pick me up. Just riding and a change of scenery. We didn't get out or come in contact with anybody.

I guess we could work in the yard, but the pollen is so bad here that being outside for an hour screws your allergies up for 2-3 days.

I bought a Raspberry pi v4. I intend to set up a Ubuntu 18.04 server firewall with it. It's a little bit of a learning curve since I know little about Linux.

Cleaning up my home office so it's presentable for online meetings.

I ordered a 4K Apple TV and a 4k 40" TV since it looks like I'll be doing a lot of indoor riding this year. The 4th Gen Apple TV I have now and the crappy Walmart special TV made it very pixelated. Time to step up my game, so to speak.

Also bought a 16-port switch to clear up the birds nest of smaller switches and cabling in my office. I have a nice shelf unit coming from Home Depot this week to mount everything on. I figure if this is going to be my place of occupation for a few months or more, it needs to be up to snuff.

We’re streaming the Ring Trilogy. They’re starting to show their age but I’m still loving the ride.

Started slow in the home office today, but then it built up and before I knew it, it was seriously better. I still need to swap in a new APC battery backup and get rid of an old Pentium III dual processor server that's been sitting beside my desk for a decade. My shelf for my modem/router/switch should be here on Wednesday, so that will allow me to really clean things up. Maybe by my Thursday Teams meeting I can actually use video for the first time.

As I mentioned before, I have a 40" 4k TV coming later this week. I was going to bring the shitty 32" Vizio into my office just to have a TV in there. I was planning on using the top of a bookcase where my network gear sits now, once I move that stuff off onto the new shelf unit I have coming. But the bookcase is against the same wall as my desk, so I won't have a very good angle to see my TV. I'm thinking about a wall mount swing arm, but I am downright incompetent when it comes to mounting something like that.

Can you just do the whole stud-finder bit to set up a wall mount swing arm? I just successfully used a new stud-finder to mount some bicycle hangers in my garage, so I'm pretty confident the one I have works. But screwing up the garage wall and screwing up my home office wall are two very different things.
