Grant High of Sacramento of which I’m an alumni plays Folsom High School from Folsom tonight with their number 1 state ranking and number 4 national ranking on the line!
Grant is a little beat up but the Pacers always fight to the finish!
Looking to go back to the State championship after missing out last year!
I’ll keep you posted headed to the game now!
Game is @ Sacramento State!
Oh yes I did and to all of you De La Salle folks from the Bay I really did mean number 1 in Northern Cali!
I was logging into my blog trying to see what’s going on and make a post into the “Snakeice Radio House of Beats Blog” here on my site and was able to login but then kicked out as if mu session had expired.
The first thing I did of course was go to the syslog and there I saw some “audispd: queue is full” message. This took me down the path to look at the “audispd” daemon and then Selinux. I tested and it didn’t seem that Selinux was preventing login and the audit log files didn’t show any lock outs even though the messages are annoying maybe these two utilities were not the issue.
Well I then looked in the mysqld.log and there it listed the issue plain as can be ” [ERROR] /usr/libexec/mysqld: Table ‘./mtdb/mt_session’ is marked as crashed and should be repaired”! I thenwent to MySQL administrator and repaired the table and all is well.
I’ll come back and take care of the “audispd: queue is full – dropping event” error messages later, right now I have to go outside and do yard work while its day time my original plan of action today until I couldn’t stay logged into my blogs.
Made some delicious drinks over the weekend with this new liqueor Ty-Ku its a light liquor and it seems to mix nicely with a wide variety.
I mixed it with some Remy Ma VSOP Cognac to make something they call Godzilla. Even made what they called an Asian Mojito!
Tonight I wanted something light to sip and started to make a nice neat traditional martini but then mixed some Ty-Ku, Grey Goose Citron, Bombay Gin and mint leaves from my garden shook it up in the shaker with some ice and it it is delicious!
Only issue is its Monday so will not be able to indulge too much but this weekend I’ll be sipping more! Now just trying to find things to fill my bar out and give a lot of options when people stop by.
That and a quick dip in the pool in the night about 9 pm PDT after Monday Night Football worked just fine to relax me with some cool a$$ music on my site @ http://dhoytt.com/snake-ice-radio-blog/
That’s right the number 4 ranked team in the nation per two different polls relating to high school football teams in the Grant Pacers of Sacramento are playing the Folsom Bulldogs in Folsom tonight. Folsom is ranked number 2 in the Greater Sacramento region with the Grant Pacers being number 1 in the Sacramento Region.
Grant has the longest running tradition of excellence in football in the area with people who went to the school as far back as the 1930’s still attending home games.
This being my high school alma mater I will of course be watching the game on ESPN2 the only reason I will not be there in person is that I was too busy to get tickets and with my schedule I would have been struggling to get to Folsom after work.
All I have to say is GO GRANT PACERS!!! Then to the tune of the chant that Snoop heard when the Grant Pacers beat his alma mater Long Beach for the California state championship 2 years ago and ironically used in his song “I Wanna Rock”…….. PACERS….PACERS…PACERS …….. PACERS….PACERS…PACERS …….. PACERS….PACERS…PACERS …….. PACERS….PACERS…PACERS
Had a power outage today and I was away
from the office but everything came back online by itself except the
music didn’t begin streaming. The cause of the power outage I am
guessing is the street construction about a block away. I have not
been told that the construction is officially the cause of the power
outage so I will have to check sources later but its my guess.
I will have to design a batch script
for the various components of the music to come up in proper order
once the system is rebooted for my music server since this is the
only system that didn’t restart the software I use properly. When I
get a chance I will test it on my backup music server. The challenge
will be automating the music stream start and encoders.
My Linux boxes that host my web
servers & game servers appear to have come back and executed the
start-up scripts just fine, the server that streams the music is on
Windows.
Been falling behind in my posts about
running and Vibram five Finger KSO’s, and I’m here to report the runs
have been going well even with my gardening and other home projects
and getting used to another schedule!
I have been running intervals and as
stated earlier that put a new type of stress on the calves and I
think I’m finally almost out of the discomfiture that caused mostly.
The thing about it running shorter
interval distances trying for speed really gets you up on your toes
and the balls of your feet more than the 5k’s & 10k’s. Especially
once you wind down to doing anything under 400 meters! Being on your
toes and forefront of your feet really stretch calves and ligaments
in a way not used before in the typical running shoe circa now!
I also strange enough noticed that with
the VFF’s (Vibram Five Fingers) my toe nails are growing out! Let me
explain.
I was on the back end of doing the end
of my interval workouts a week or two ago and I noticed as I got up
on my toes I felt a weird pulling sensation as my feet gripped the
ground, my toe nails!
Before in umm … ahem what passes for
normal running shoes my toe nails took a beating and rarely grew out
especially the toes right next to my big toe which are the same
length and maybe a tad longer than my big toe. In fact my toes right
next to the big daddy toe always had crunched up bloody looking toe
nails that were about 1/8th of an inch thick.
This is the first time I could ever
recall having intact regular sized toe nails that weren’t, half off
or mutant looking. Another unexpected benefit of running in VFF’s
barefoot minimalist style!
Next up is a 10k this coming Sunday at
the first annual Natomas Mayday run here in Sacramento California
right here in my neighborhood utilizing part of my normal road
course. How exciting!
I’m signed up and not totally in the
shape I want but ready to go come on out and join us and run part of
my course!
Going to be cruising in my VFF KSO’s on
this run as well of course!
Oh yes in case you are confused even
though I have discomfort getting used to the VFF’s it is well worth
it my running has become more efficient and the only discomfort are a
little getting used to the calves doing the job they were meant to do
Well last week I pretty much got the
vegetable garden in the backyard and the flower gardens in the front
yard finished except some spaces purposely left open for future
updates or seasonal vegetation.
I rototilled around the huge artichoke
plant that is now producing like crazy. In the garden on the other
corner in backyard I tilled around the existing sage, thyme, parsley,
chives & strawberries that stayed over the winter.
To compliment my existing herbs I
planted, basil (didn’t last over winter), mint & more chives, &
green onions.
I planted Roma, Big Boy, & Yellow
pear tomato plants. I also planted eggplant, hot jalapeno, Serrano,
banana, red chili & three kinds of bell peppers.
For the root type vegetables I planted
red potatoes, garlic, & red onion.
I also planted watermelon, zucchini
squash, mammoth sunflowers, sweet corn, Swiss chard, collard greens,
and mustard greens. Today I got some celery, cilantro & summer
squash.
I almost forgot I also planted last
week some peas, green beans, black-eyed peas (cow peas), a grape vine
& another blueberry bush.
I still have a raspberry vine &
what I believe is a blueberry plant from last year that survived
the artichoke bush from last year. Reminds me I also planted some
asparagus I hope is out of the way. Last year the asparagus, grapes
raspberries, greens, Swiss chard and other veggies were over run by
the artichoke bush.
Last week I also made repairs and
changes to the drip/watering system.
Today I also pulled up about 5 bags of
weeds from the small corridor between homes I have as well as cut the
grass and edged with the weed eater and pressure washed the patio and
sidewalks in the backyard around the pool. Now I have the pool pumps
going to get the dirt that inadvertently got in the pool from
pressure washing.
All in all it was a long but productive day!
Tomorrow the finishing touches and time
to hall off some trash perhaps. Ah yes I also got some ground cover
flowers to go between my roses up front called “verbien tapien
blue-violet”.
Pictures later perhaps. For now I will
have another martini & watch the pool lights change colors on
this very pleasant night.
As I was removing 2 bags of weeds from my garden today I also took up some huge carrots I planted last year and noticed the artichokes are really starting to come in now!
Here are pictures of the huge carrots a few over or around a foot long and the artichokes coming in plentifully.
