Oh No, Say It Isn't So - Ralphie VI Retires!

The University of Colorado's iconic live buffalo Ralphie VI, nicknamed "Ember," is retiring after four years of service as college football's greatest mascot. I am glad that Ember will get a great retirement but also disappointed that Ralphie will not run for this year's home opener.

Indianapolis 500 Racing Experience

So today, I went with my father-in-law, Joe, to the Indy 500 Racing Experience. Which means we got to take 2 laps around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway at about 165 miles per hour in a two seater Indy car. It was so much fun to do this during speed week at Indy. 

We had a great time and had really good weather for it. I will not forget what it was like to go that fast around the track and see the stands and all of the items on the track go by in such a blur. 

I took a few pictures and some video.

We want to thank all of our friends at North Mechanical who got us on the list for such a treat.

Home Networking Update 2021

So we did get a chance to finish up my home networking project this weekend. My friend Conrad helped us rewire and straighten things up. By the end of the weekend, I have a new wifi6 setup (netgear mk86) as well as a 16 port switch that is activated on all the data ports in the house. See below for before and after.

Video of new switch up and running! (thanks Conrad :)
