Staying late today at work so I can convert a physical disk that is attached to a virtual machine to a virtual disk so that I can enable replication to the backup server.

Something the previous guy probably should have done to begin with, but at the time also wasn't a big deal as we weren't doing replication at that time. But if you're doing a virtual server why not just have all the drives attached to it virtual as well? Seems like that would make more sense...

Welcome to Corporate Nature 101. First lesson: If it makes sense, it won't happen.

Well when I told the owner that we had no backups after I found out, he basically wrote me a blank check and said to get whatever we needed for it. So I built a whole backup server that is capable of running everything if the main server went down (albeit a bit slower).

I built that a few months ago and we've had full backups ever since, but haven't had time in the schedule to take the server offline and do the drive conversion for replication until now.

Well just got pulled over a few minutes ago. Got me for my tint and warned about license plate cover. Also mentioned to me that my wheel well lights might have other officers pull me over because green is not a DOT approved color. His tint meter said my front tint was 14%, that pisses me off because I asked for a higher tint when I had it done. I think he was just looking for someone to pull over. I've passed many police in my TB as much as it stands out, especially at night and have never had any issues. Atleast he wasn't a dick to me. Have to call in Monday to see what the fine amount is , but he said 1st offense for window tint violation is $141, 2nd is $240, and 4th is $400 something.

In my area, you can take the tint off and go to the court house and they'll wave the ticket. My bro did that multiple times on his Silverado because it was cheaper to get it re-tinted than to pay the ticket.

I know man it's sooo stupid, mine doesn't even look 14% like he claims.

I'm just gonna pay the ticket :blinkhuh: . I don't feel like getting it re-tinted. The guys who did the tint got that tint spray all over the interior of my driver's side door, which fucked up the paint job I did on it like a week prior.

Never have had a problem with GSP, its mainly the local police. Henry County Police pulled me over saying my tint was to dark and couldn't see my seatbelt. When I gave him me I.D. he asked why I was far from home(I was 17 miles away), then he got his tint meter it read 37%. I lol'd when he couldn't find anything wrong.

Pricing things up. Going to make sure I have everything on-hand that I'll need, and if all looks well I'll be proceeding with the thermostat change-out. I was expecting everything to be a bit more expensive, apparently AAP carries the Stant for only like $26, which isn't too bad at all, well under my expectation of $50.

Then to get my 3489809384 gallons of coolant and water and get to work.
 
I was a few countys away. I am usually very polite to the police. But this guy was an ass! He had a blonde ride along and was trying to show off! He asked me if I had a muffler and asked me to rev my engine. He said it sounds louder at the back of the vehicle. I said yeah that's where it comes out! I had a discussion with the sheriff later.

What plates do you have on it? I use to get a lot of crap for out of state plates.
 
GA tag, I have a smoked out license plate cover back there
 
I love one plate, having one in the front takes away from the look of the vehicle IMO

Still doing work thang with this server stuff
 
Reading. MSDS sheets, specifically. Did you know that consumption of ethanol can help decrease the metabolism of ethylene glycol (common ingredient in antifreeze)? I'm reading an MSDS for Valvoline's Zetex right now and it says this. It also says, and I quote, " If medical care will be delayed several hours, give the patient three to four 1-ounce oral "shots" of 86-proof or higher whiskey before or during transport to the hospital. "

So part of treatment potentially involves getting tipsy. The more you know!
