Yeah - that makes sense.  I'm not mad, or anything at ALL like that, just a
"Oh, dammit!" 8-)

I can, actually.  I can scrape up the rest of the parts out of junk
piles at work, and that should run Solaris 10 and rsnapshot just fine
I think.

It's been a shitty week.

Last Monday (a week ago), Amy (my wife) got put in the hospital.  She's
okay, but won't be out until this Thursday or Friday.  I've been driving 62
miles round-trip after work every day (resulting in about $20/day in gas
and tolls) to visit her.  My normal commute to work is 5 miles round-trip.

Last Wednesday, I had to rush Max [0] to the emergency vet; he'd gotten bit
by a snake or spider and had a badly infected paw/leg.  The ER vet and then
my normal vet did all he could, but other problems came up and I had to put
him to sleep yesterday morning. 8-(

dammit, now I'm crying again.
