Got my Early Birbs

I hold eight Noun Cats. I found the project before I really got intrigued by Nouns projects. I guess Noun Cats were my gateway to the greater Noun ecosystem.

The Noun Cats had a really cool innovation with the creation of Early Birbs.

The Early Birbs are a first of its kind, community-created collection: a collaboration between Noun Cats’ Co-Founder and pixel artist Dean Harvey and the Noun Cats community!

The only way to get an Early Birb is to have a Noun Cat. Today I got my eight Birbs to go with my Invisibles. I minted Early Birbs #418-425. I think they are great, and I love all the Nounish aspects of it.

First time renting a Fluid Truck. Moving some things to the new house.

Just as I finally figured out the multiple programs, zones, durations and start times of our digital irrigation controller β€” I’m confronted with what appears to be a completely analog irrigation controller. 😬

Mazie was awarded Rookie of the Year by her softball coach. She had a great season with GAL.

UniFi Network for New Home

Ordered network for the new home. Decided to stay with UniFi given the great experiences I have had with our current setup.

  • Dream Machine with integrated router, firewall, and CloudKey.
  • I wanted WiFi 6 and the only option in stock was the Access Point WiFi 6 Long-Range. I got one for each floor.
  • Main switching bay is two Switch Lite 16 PoE and then 2 Switch Flex Mini for remote ports.

Discovering all sorts of unusual devices while getting new house ready. RCA jacks, mini plug, Ethernet?

Moving into a new home presents many puzzles. Currently working out this one:

  • 29 Cat 5e twisted pair runs
  • 8 RG6 Coax runs
  • B&O MasterLink network
  • Random one off cables

At Chanhassen Dinner Theatres for Footlose! Mazie and Tyler’s first time here. 🎢🎭

Today we closed on our new home! We weren’t looking but a truly unique and special property came on the market and we made the leap! We move back to the Lynnhurst neighborhood in a couple weeks. πŸ“¦

Bringing the hat for Fathers Day. At Mazie’s softball game on 97 Β°F day. β˜€οΈ

These two make my life such an amazing and wonderful journey. I am one really lucky guy. My best to all Dads to have a great Father’s Day. ❀️

These are the things that work and have a real benefit when I’m feeling drained and want to be kind to myself:

  1. Double my usual meditation time.
  2. Anything outside.
  3. Moderate physical exertion.
  4. Time with friends and family.

You can do more than one at a time.
