Thursday morning when I started my car (a '96 Taurus SHO) it had a regular and bad misfire, it had been running perfectly the night before. Turns out rats
built a nest and chewed through a spark plug wire.

Then I had to do kernel upgrades and on one of my servers that is always a
challenge because it has special drivers for a type of flash card that supports
something known as atomic writes, basically bypass cache and write directly to
flash. The reason for this hardware is a very high performance mariadb that helps make friendica fast.

For some reason dkms didn't install right so had to rebuild the drivers with new kernel. All in all was a major pain.

Then went to upgrade the OS on a customers private virtual which has Devaun installed and it blew up and much effort to recover didn't succeed, ended up with a dependency loop I could not resolve so restored from backups and will try again when I'm in the mood.

Then my workstation, when I upgraded it from Ubuntu-Mate 20.10 to 21.04, it blew up. I thought I had fixed everything but tonight I ran into a dependency loop issue with some out of date libraries and could not successfully resolve so I was about to re-install on it when I dumped a glass of coke over, some of which was absorbed by my nice logitech mouse and it ceased function.

So ran to Wallimart, the only thing computer wise open at 10:45, got there five minutes before closing and they only had one cheap-ass wired mouse, only logitechs were wireless and I really don't care to be feeding batteries continuously so picked up the cheap ass wired mouse and ordered a new logitech off of Amazon (yes straight from the devil himself).

Oh I've had better weeks. At least my cats were nice to me this morning with one of them head butting and puring away. I think I may marinate myself a bit tonight.
