Home Town Grill & Christmas

The Home Town Grill restaurant is a local favorite for sure, Blumenort doesn’t have a lot of restaurants but this one is a keeper. One of my favourite dishes is the chicken schnitzel with mashed potatoes and gravy. It’s made exceptionally well and you get 3pc of the schnit, the whole schnit, and nothing but […]

Where am I going with this? Just a quick […]

Mikrotik Switches and Imaging

I posted previously about deploying software packages a different way; more reliable, faster, always the latest package… etc. and that’s all important but it’s also about pure speed.

AI in a box

I love the scene in Mr. Robot where Elliot gets pushed off the railing by his dad 😂 lol… its not as bad as it sounds – no spoilers but when you find out what really happened, you’ll be shocked… in the end Elliot just wanted his father’s approval – sometimes that is just something […]
