The holiday season is over, and 2025 has begun. All the kids have gotten sick this week. We've had frighteningly strong wind as well. Luckily, we're not experiencing severe fires here in Orange County. Our hearts are breaking for our neighboring county of Los Angeles and the devastating amounts of fire destruction.

I'm still enjoying our new NAS. It’s a Synology DiskStation DS1522+ to replace the DiskStation DS1511+ we’d been running for over 13 years(solidly and beautifully). It took a while to transfer everything from the old NAS and do a restore, but now we have things running on it easily that I was struggling with before. The new DiskStation picked up right where the old one left off in syncing files and doing backups. I'm excited to be able to do more with it.
