  1. This is Hank Williams Sr. He used to live above my studio.

    We used to startle each other. I’d open my door and he’d be there on a tree a foot away. We’d stop and stare at each other. Then calmly walk our separate ways.

    On this day he just leapt onto the screen and stayed there for a couple of minutes while I talked to him.

  6. The latest book by my Iraq battle buddy and roommate, Fred Minnick. I’d gotten word today there’s a couple pages where I’m a part of his story. I called him and he read the pages in which he tells of one of our experiences having mortar rounds miss our quarters and then, unable to sleep, he opened a Listerine bottle full of whiskey he’d received in a care package, I grabbed a couple cigars and we sat outside in the area between the trailers we were in dubbed “NCO Alley.”

  11. 3/ FYI, I pulled the trigger on the snapshot restore and #OldFriends is back up. Once accounts got cleared of the pg_toast chunks, it was failing in the status table and that would have taken another several days to clean and who knows how many other tables.

    Working out a better database backup solution...

  21. Edit: it's fixed now

    If you follow anyone from the Mastodon instance oldfriends.live they seem to be having some major problems at the moment.

    They're reaching out asking for help from anyone who feels like they're enough of a #PostgresQL expert to help them troubleshoot what sounds like major database issues.

  26. Played music with my friends last night. Often there were extended jams at the ends of a song. It’s hard to find words for how joyous this intense and ephemeral listening and responding is. This resets my soul and heart in the most exquisite way.

    At one point we transitioned from playing “One” right into “Low Spark” … oh my …

    We’ve been playing music together every couple of weeks for almost 20 years.

    I’m playing a saxophone, clarinet, or harmonica.
