Looks like we have a giant groundhog and a baby living in our backyard.

Not much new here
07

Not a whole lot going on here. Just relaxing a bit. Corinne and I watched Avatar (Bluray) and it was amazing. Great movie.
I received the last order of sprinkler system parts (hopefully) to finish the drip irrigation for the front landscaping. I will most likely attempt to install it in the next week or so. Whenever it isnt too hot outside.
My parking sensor is awaiting one more ultrasonic sensor and some brackets. I think its ready to go. I should have it mounted for testing by the end of the week.
I am modifying my homemade router/firewall at home to run Pfsense 2.0 beta on a hard drive instead of a flash card. This will allow me to run squid (http cache proxy), havp (anti-virus scanner), and other network monitoring tools. They cannot be run on a flash card since the card has a finite read/write life.
We got hailed on today

Very odd weather today. About 90 degrees. Tomorrow is suppose to be 66. We had hail, then a rainbow, then heavy rain, then sun, within a 15 minute period.
EDIT: Here is a video of the hail.

The landscapers came back and finished the area by our driveway-grated and planted grass. They also mowed down the area where they are eventually going to put the walking path…it looks nice!

We did some more landscaping today: mulched sound the side of the house, back by the patio, and put rocks by the air conditioner. We need a little more mulch to finish the back, but we’ll do that tomorrow.
