Fortinet up and running

Weird thing happened though ... the reset button appears to be broken

I had to dig up an old encrypted login/pass word doc and then find the key to open it

Once, I got in the web interface, I just used the CLI to reset the whole thing to default and start from scratch

Grandparents are checking on the availability of their timeshare in Tuscany for us next March/April. Wife found $375 airfare = $1500 round trip for both of us

I figured out the missing flavor from the cheese steaks. Gf agrees that while my first set was amazing by its own, the new set is on a whole different level.

I ran back to the store and got another sirloin. Carmelized more onions, but added a tbsp of sugar to them. This helped add way more sweetness. Swapped the green bell pepper for some seeded long hots. Gives the steak a good kick that mellows out from the onions.

For the steak, I sauted it like before, but added mayo to increase the fat content. Gives it a richer flavor. The bread used garlic butter. Combined it all and it gave a pleasant hot kick that mellowed out from the sweetened onions and had a rich taste throughout it from the steak.

I'm pleased with myself. Now time for bed. My culinary skills can go back into dormancy now so I can enjoy more taco hell.

Oh goody

JARblue · 08-16-2016, 08:56 PM

Time to watch some Olympics. Have a wonderful evening everyone

JARblue · 08-16-2016, 08:57 PM

Oh and I should mention ... yesterday was the first day in August since the 1800s where it did not reach 80 degrees in Austin. I think we hit 76 for the high

Crazy global warming

The only age old record we came close to this summer was number of days of rain in July

And August hasn't been much better.

We are usually dry as a bone and everything brown by mid-July. Instead I get to wash the car and cut grass 3-4 times a week instead. I'll take some actual global warming please

The girl at the PO asked what the heck was in such a big box that was so light.
Told her it was racecar parts

Just sitting in place for a few quick pics. Definitely tell going to have to clamp it down while the adhesive is setting up so it takes the proper shape, little bowed towards the drivers side.

Not too get too picky, but when I order carbon fibre I tend to expect carbon fibre. Not just a layer of it over top of the frp version.

That said, keeping in mind it's dusk and poor lighting right now, it does look quite nice. Bit more substantial than I'd expected, which I think is a good thing.
