It’s been a while since I posted an update, but things haven’t been that exciting. I haven’t done anything with the Triumph, so it’s just been sitting. I’ll probably see about getting it inspected next week though, and I want to check the throttle shafts for leaks and I should order those little parts before the end of the season.
The new TV tuner has been working fine, and I don’t think I’ve run into a time where three tuners wasn’t enough yet. In keeping with my thinking from last update, I replaced the processors in the server for lower power versions and removed the graphics card. This netted a savings of about 20 watts or so, which isn’t a ton, but it’s still a few dollars per month. I decided to keep the whole server because I just can’t get 12 TB of storage for a reasonable price any other way.
Going back to cars, my friend is coming over on Sunday so we can do the brakes on his car. I haven’t done brakes in a while, and they’re easy so I’m looking forward to it. I need to do struts on another person’s car in the next week or so, too, so I’ll try to post about that.
Otherwise, things are going pretty well. Classes start up again in a few weeks, but I’m only taking two of them this semester. My investments that I started a few months ago are doing well, and I’m helping my wife get an IRA set up. This money stuff is really interesting to me, and I totally see how people get into day trading. If I had more money I probably would.
