The last couple of days, I finally cracked the office, the lab.

Over and over I’ve been refining the front tool room and the kitchen and the bathroom and even the closet space; even the shed and the vehicles. But the heart of everything remained a scary mess.

Honestly it still is. Honestly, that’s changing.

This evening I decided to crack even the main computer, the System76 system I bought with pension money. I downloaded fresh versions of MX-23 and AntiX Linux 23 and got them loaded onto sticks for install. Right now I’m backing up my MX-21 Desktop to an external hard drive. When that’s done I’ll be moving over to the updated operating systems and making them work. Most of you will have the foggiest idea. That’s fine. I’m pretty foggy right now myself.

I’m living on pins and needles and the really important stuff is just barely getting done in time and the pretty important stuff hasn’t been getting done at all, because I’ve been shifting and sifting the crap.

I’m trying hard to fix it in my marginally stable way.
