<p>Still here! Running various vintages of Mint Debian on some old
laptops. Also running SuSE 15.1 to keep my RPM skills. I look
around pawn shops for the old ones with access covers for RAM and
drives. I install a SSD and increase RAM if necessary. <br>

<div>It's good to hear from the list. I too have retired, but
following a heart op (two valves replace/repaired, triple

road and track. This led to the General Secretarysho pf the

<div>Jay, your retirement looks very active and fun. I still
have more than a decade to get there. :)</div>
<div><br>

<div>I have found fun in two very different topics:
micro-controller and machine learning. The purpose is to
build some prototype to help people learn martial-arts
more efficiently and less fearfully. People need to know
more of self-defense nowadays. <br clear="all">

Here's what's happening in my life... I'm retired
now, even collecting <br>
some Social Security - which I never thought would be
around by the time i <br>
was old enough to collect it. Did some teaching at a
local community <br>
college for a few years teaching Linux/UNIX System
Administration. THAT <br>
was a LOT of fun!<br>
<br>
These days I keep adding more Solar power atop the
house, add more <br>
batteries to the battery bank, soon will add a Wind
Turbine, and have a <br>
lot of fun wiring up more things in the house to run off
12 volts DC as I <br>
don't want to run an AC inverter. Wrote a "Primer"
showing how this <br>
'project' has been coming along: <a
href="http://www.nuge.com/solar" rel="noreferrer"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">http://www.nuge.com/solar</a><br>
<br>
I keep adding more stuff to the Primer from time to
time. Have a LOT <br>
of stuff to add -- maybe after the holday season is over.<br>
<br>
My wife and I are both "Preppers" so we've been making
sure that we can <br>
live independent of conventional infrastructure for a VERY
extended period <br>
of time. Food, water, power, fabricating tools/skills,
gardening, <br>
canning, etc. We are making the house MORE energy
efficiant and are <br>
considering Geo-Thermal as well. Linux plays into this as
a great way to <br>
collect energy usage measurements, track Degree Days and
other useful <br>
weather information, solar light-level readings, etc., all
collected on <br>
Raspberry-Pi's running Linux. So my BASH shell script
writing skills are <br>
being pushed to the limits! (grin)<br>
<br>
As I like to say: You Cannot Manage What You Cannot
Measure<br>
<br>
<br>
My wife retires in 151 weeks (yeah, she tracks things
quite closely). <br>
When that happens we hope to do a lot of traveling around
the US, Canada <br>
(she was born there), and Mexico. Perhaps we can visit
with a few of the <br>
fine folks we've met on this list :)<br>
<br>
So what has everyone been up to? Hope you all are in
good health and <br>
living happy lives!<br>
<br>
