WICKEDD-NANNY

Suse Linux Enterprise Server 12 moved from sysvinit to systemd bringing many changes with it, one of them being wicked replacing ifup for networking, and the new deamon watchdog, nanny. So far so good, but today we had an issue with NFS mounts in the fstab causing `job wickedd-nanny.service/start deleted to break ordering cycle.` I implore you, use caution when searching google for, WICKED NANNY :O :O :O :O

ROADWORTHY

So there I was, trying to hold onto cash - I've been lucky insofar as I haven't had a lot of little expenses - but the few I have had have been monumental. So all was going well until we planned a trip to Colorado, which is normally a non-issue because we either take GF's car, or my little Tiburon. But this trip we're bringing the kids, and that means one thing, THE GRAND MARQUIS. At 24-mpg, its fine for its size, but the last couple of trips to Texas really drove the point home that it needed new shocks. It wasn't bad on a smooth, even straightway, but the moment there was even a slight change in elevation, the car starts hip-hopping until everyone has motion sickness...kinda like The Beast John Candy drives in Uncle Buck.

Today, all that changed.

A full set of new shocks installed by Schartz Automotive in Larned, KS. The drive back to Newton proved it was the right decision.

Colorado, here we come!
