I haven&#8217;t done anything with the Triumph, so it&#8217;s just been sitting. I&#8217;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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new TV tuner has been working fine, and I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve run into a time where three tuners wasn&#8217;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&#8217;t a ton, but it&#8217;s still a few dollars per month. I decided to keep the whole server because I just can&#8217;t get 12 TB of storage for a reasonable price any other way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Going back to cars, my friend is coming over on Sunday so we can do the brakes on his car. I haven&#8217;t done brakes in a while, and they&#8217;re easy so I&#8217;m looking forward to it. I need to do struts on another person&#8217;s car in the next week or so, too, so I&#8217;ll try to post about that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Otherwise, things are going pretty well. Classes start up again in a few weeks, but I&#8217;m only taking two of them this semester. My investments that I started a few months ago are doing well, and I&#8217;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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a while since I posted an update, but things haven&#8217;t been that exciting.
