Was brought into consciousness by the playing of little Mr in his room. He's such a good kid about getting himself up in the morning when Mom and Dad are still snoozing. Fed him brekky and then got on with chores for the day: helping Little Mr do some chores, as well as my own!

Headed outside with The Dog - he needed exercise before the coming snownami, and I could use the exercise and spend the time picking up his.... deposits. Holy crap was it cold: probably in the very low teens, however the dog had a good time chasing balls and I got the requisite 5lbs of poop collected.

Pondering changes to the backyard. We have 11 trees growing back there now, need to add more along the other tree lines, as well as consider some more landscaping/evening out. Really want to put some planter boxes around the deck  to put herbs/vegetables in, and then maybe around the patio.

Snow is impending, the snowblower is ready to go and Little Mr is off tomorrow.

Notes from upgrading to ESXI 5.5

http://www.mopar4life.com/esxi-5-5-installing-with-less-than-4gib-ram-esx-memory_size-error-during-install/

You can do this with less than 2GB.

Also, edit same file to reduce # of cores required to 1.

2TB+ drives are not supported on ESXI 4.0, thus the need to push it to 5.5.


Ugh, memory memory memory.
