It's Tuesday... that means, for the Gorse Fox, it's football and for the Silver Vixen its an appointment with the hairdresser. Much excitement all round.
The Gorse Fox set off for Worthing. As he arrived at the level crossing a message flashed on his watch. His delivery from Dell would be delivered at 10:45. That was a shame. Nobody would be home. The Silver Vixen would have left for her appointment by then. Now, the package was only a mouse, but he wasn't happy to have them leave it out. As soon as he got to Worthing he logged onto the DHL website and changed the instructions to "Leave with neighbour". Now he could relax.
Football was good fun. The Gorse Fox lost 2-1 and 2-1, then won 4-2 (with 2 assists). It was only in that last game that our forwards started to use the midfield to cycle the ball to people in better positions. It made all the difference as the Gorse Fox had moved upfield and taken on the midfield role. We had also ditched the 3 touch rule and were able to play some more flowing football,
Back home, he showered then went to collect his package from Tinkerbell before popping round to see Urban-Cub and his little sister who was visiting with TDP. He said his hellos, then left them to it while he headed off to catch up with TDP and Ellie who had gone to play in the park. It was so nice to see family again after so long.
After a bite to eat, and after his sister and TDP had left, the Gorse Fox and Silver Vixen returned to Urban-Cub's. The Gorse Fox was there to help get the security system set up - though, frankly, Urban-Cub had done it all herself. We did fail to get the doorbell camera working, but concluded we had ordered the wrong one. It wasn't compatible with the base station that controlled all the rest of the security system. Replacement is on order.
The Gorse Fox finally got back and was able to start on a rebuild of Condor. This took an hour or so and seemed be fairly painless. Well, painless until the Gorse Fox tried one of the processes that had been failing. It still failed. He rebooted the system in "Safe" mode. The problem went away. He rebooted the full system. The problem returned.
He is flummoxed.
He suspects the next action will be to run diagnostics on each of the network disks and then detach them one-by-one to see if it is related to that setup. That, however, can wait until tomorrow.
