Today was a big move day for the waterfowl pen. We moved it across the street to our neighbor’s yard, who lets us use it for livestock. We got a good video today for you!
The nice thing about these chicken tractor designs is how portable they are. We like them much better than the traditional coop where the poop piles up.
After taking care of the animals, the kids were off to swim team practice.
After swim team, the kids came back and had lunch, then it was time for history with Mr. Richard! Today they learned about the French Revolution.
After history, they watched a video on the French Revolution, and then it was off to the pool with Grandma!
Garrett helped make dinner! He is quite the helper and I’d say he, but all the of the kids love to cook!
After that, it was Adult D&D night, and movie night for the kids with Grandma.
During the day, I was working on one of my main tasks – catching up on purchases from Amazon and Costco in my accounting system, GnuCash. I did finally make my first AI assisted program to take the data from those sites and turn it into something useful for GnuCash, which has saved me quite a bit of time. Now I just some processing to do on the file, and I can close out this task!
I’ve also been working with ChatGPT on hardening the server, and I think things are in a better place now. It is much faster than I am at figuring out regexp’s for fail2ban, one of the security suites I use, on the server. Every day people, but probably bots, scan and probe the server. Now, we should be catching more of that and blocking them from trying to mess up the server.
Of course, there was one more thing. As we were checking on the animals before bed, we made a little discovery in the goat pen.
Two little baby goats were born tonight! We got them situated a little better in their pen, and reinforced the fencing. They can get out of the normal goat fence, so I moved over one of our baby chick fences which has a much tighter mesh weave on it to keep them safe.
