    Hello All,

    As exopected, while I was out of town, we had severe weather and my BBS was off for several hours. All seems to be working now.

    Later,

    I assume you're safe though...

    We had some storms here, but notthing that actually affected my wife or
    our family.

    Also - was listening to a weather net over where it was bad and I thought
    about MTEARS (I think that's what it is called). Are you near a repeater
    on that? If so, would like to say howdy and 73 to you sometime. :-)

    Hello All,

    Last night, around 0015 EDT, my BBS server kept going into a reboot loop. I had to shut it off and deal with it later.

    Turns out one of the 2GB (I had 8GB; original RAM) DIMMs died on me. Pulled it
    out and thankfully the BBS rebooted. I was having nightmares of having to reinstall Devuan or something.

    Went on eBay and found one of my favorite sellers sells brand new 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1300mHz 10600 RAM for $34 with free shipping. When I can scrape up $34, will upgrade the BBS.

    I apologize for the downtime but thankfully it was relatively minor.
