So it is officially official. The SEA move is happening, and soon. Today was my last day working in the office, and I cannot say I will miss working in a cubicle. My employers have graciously allowed me to remain in their employ and telecommute which will be interesting with a 3 hour time difference [...]

Left by air for BOS at about 2140h Pacific. For whatever reason they didn’t have the SEA to BOS red-eye I usually like to take (full I guess), so I ended up connecting in JFK. I left at sunset; and arrived at sunrise, but only a few hours later, which was a little bit of [...]

It was nice enough today that I got the top off the jeep and went for a long drive to get out of the city. The sunset was beautiful. Winter always makes me feel a bit like life is on pause, but getting the wind in my hair tonight has me looking forward to some [...]

The Tactical Datacenter has been spun down and stowed, it’s ready to go to Seattle. We lose our Internet connection tomorrow as well, and then it’s all just real work until our Saturday departure.

The hitch is installed. It was a pretty straightfoward installation but it was tight, I had to use a floor jack to get it on. The issue was the tabs were just slightly too tight against the frame rails. The wiring was a snap, 2 minutes to install. We’re looking at trying to hit these [...]

It is raining today in Waltham, an odd, heavy rain. It’s the weird stormy rain that you get in Seattle, actually, where half the sky is blue but it’s pouring anyways. Hopefully we can bring it back because I heard this rumor it has been unusually dry in the PNW this year. Today we got [...]

We will be departing BOS for SEA overland on 9/5. Looking forward to being back in the 425, particularly before the brutal and soul-diminishing New England winter sets in. Fate permitting we hope to make the trip in 3 days, which would be a record for me. Sadly – SADLY – this has screwed up [...]
