 @nadnerB pequin peppers are very long season, be patient. And they're hotter than you expect, but so tasty.

 Taking a lab break. TV break!

 I experienced one of the high points of my life earlier... Watching a woman in her 30s, in a pink sparkly thrift store prom dress and unicorn mask, jumping on a trampoline. 
- 
 Heading to bed. Going to play a little Minecraft from bed with the kids and read a few chapters of a Nancy Drew novel before passing out. 
- 
 Worked more on the bed today but still not finished yet. Now out to eat with the family.

 The black pearls take their time to mature. I think its about two or three months from memory.

 Good morning from the rainy isle. 
- 
 Sneaking in some video game time. 
- 
 Doing some lab work. The CentOS-VM below runs on top of Hyper-V Server 2016 which runs in a Windows 10 Hyper-V VM. Nested virtualization can be great for lab purposes. Remember: Windows 10 Hyper-V is nothing but a type 1 hypervisor. When you activate the Hyper-V role and reboot your PC, your "host OS" will be started inside a VM and serves as the management OS. That's called dom0 in Xen for example.

 Ate lunch, fed the kids, making coffee. 
- 
 About to do the dishes... maybe procrastinating ... slightly.... 
- 
 Finished my Bind role for Ansible. Now I don't need to back up my DNS server any more. 
- 
 Wondering if there is ever really a legitimate use of the term JBOD......

Took that many post to just figure out it is for backups. Yeah, but in other cases, people say JBOD a lot and it means something different to everyone. I can't really think of any circumstance where I've actually wanted to use it or felt that it conveyed something useful. I'm not sure that the term should even exist.
