After some upgrades the MOWOG Novice School was a perfect event to clear out the winter cobwebs! This was a 2 day event, 1 day in the class room and the following day at DCTC for a practice. Day 1: The classroom time was packed with great information. It was helpful to hear all the…
For 2019 I determined to remain in C-Street or “CS” (this might change). This will allow me to focus on getting as much seat time and focusing on some other driving events besides AutoX. Regardless, I was eager to get the car out if storage this year, knowing I had a few boxes full of…
New England has been on my travel wish-list for sometime. For my birthday this year Amanda got us tickets to Boston, and just like that we were off! After a quick call with the kids and a little early morning de-icing we are airborne! After arriving we headed right to pickup our rental car, and…

I needed expandability, redundancy (RAID 1 or grater), reliability, lower power/noise than a full server, ability to connect and share to VM’s and across my network. I…
I recently purchased a Lenovo SA120 and ordered a few trays to go along. I read online that the blank trays can be used as trays with some “modification” so I wanted to see how hard this was before populating the entire unit with OEM trays. I was unable to find any write up or…
I’m sure many people (like myself) have a spare Raspberry Pi laying around and always want to have a cool project or use for it. I recently stumbled upon a really great use for that extra Pi in the house! Meet Blockade a DNS ad blocker that is easy to setup and is a great ad blocking…
