Dammit

Despite having numerous runners in scoring position, the Red Sox just couldn't get their act together and they ended up losing 4-3 last night.

They should have scored at least two more runs last night. One when Eaton rounded 3rd but the 3rd base coach held him up on a ball that was far enough out to allow him to score. Another when there were runners in scoring position and Rafaela was told to bunt.

Turns out he doesn't know how to bunt but he gave it a valiant try.

Well, maybe it wasn't a valiant try but it was definitely a try.

Anyways, the final game is tonight and since Giolito is out with a bad elbow, it falls to Connelly, the rookie.

It turns out the Judges will also be running a rookie out to the mound tonight.

This should be an interesting game...

Busy day today.

First thing this morning, The Vet sent me a text asking about a message they were getting on one of thier computers. It was an indication of a failed hard drive.

I went over to the clinic and sure enough, there was a message about the drive failing. I shut the machine down and took it apart. There was a small M.2 NVMe drive that sure looked okay to me but once I ran the diagnostics, it came back with a pretty lengthy set of errors.

Since the company that supplies their software said that they would reload everything if they replaced the drive, I found an exact replacement on Amazon.

Once it comes in, I'll install it and they can have their sotware people load eveything up.

After that I mowed my lawn.

Yes, I know I just mowed it but one of the downsides to having sprinklers and a fertilizer guy is that the damned lawn grows.

A lot...

Then I set about to see if I can get this damned raspberry pi to recognize the new camera I installed in it.

I've been working on this thing for seveal days now and it's become a challenge that I refuse to give up on.
