OpenBSD was nice to install and the documentation is on point...I just realized no ZFS. Such a bummer.

My grandmother passed this morning. Thank you folks for all the love, thoughts, and prayers!

I know this tune, but can't place it or the lyrics. Can anyone help me out?

After the stock has congealed, scrape off the top layer of fat.
Add the chicken to the stock and reheat to a simmer.
Add half a stick of butter, a pint of half&half, and whole milk to the desired consistency.
Don't boil the soup after you add the dairy.
Add salt and pepper, at least 1 tbsp each.

Making the traditional chicken stew that we have most years. It is very simple and I enjoy it with saltines and Texas Pete hot sauce.

Boil a whole chicken in a covered pot of water covering about 2/3 of the bird until cooked.
Remove the bird and any undesirables from the stock and refrigerate.
Remove the skin and bones from the chicken and shred the meat.
Take out anything too dark or inedible and refrigerate.

@lo I really want one of these from Lost In Space. Do you think they just custom made everything?

My grandmother is on the last leg of her journey in this life. She became unresponsive and has entered hospice care. The workers who see this every day believe her time to be very short. I am very excited for her. Her husband, my grandfather, died twice and was brought back before dying years later. He described being in a paradise where God's love was like sunlight shining on him and those belonging to Christ. He didn't want to leave. I believe that he is there waiting for my grandmother.

Enjoyed a fall festival with the family.

Not really into metal, but this was great.

Update on my grandmother. She didn't want to eat 2 days ago and has slept more, but has since been eating chicken soup that my mother made for her. She ate her normal lunch today and a cookie, which I think is a good sign. O2 levels are good and no fever. This is all coming from staff, so I hope it is true. 15/20 of the residents are confirmed and 2 have passed away. Thank you for all of the prayers, I hope that she continues to recover!

@Citizenzibb@fosstodon.org You ever mess around with BSD, or did you find it a little too much like self flagellation?

My Gotennas arrived today! Glad to say pairing with a couple phones was a cinch. First test on range through a wooded neighborhood(one was in a house)...disappointing. I was only able to reach about 2000' from inside my truck. I will try a real line of sight test soon, but I hear people regularly get 20 miles through air.

My grandmother, Rachel, tested positive for Covid-19 today. At 92, I hope she can make a quick recovery. She has been such a good and positive influence in many lives, especially mine. Please pray for a good outcome.
