Really glad I pulled the trigger. Taking this trip has been a personal and professional Knight Rider Turbo Boost for me.

Recession

Make no mistake, it's happening. Unlike 2008 it's P.E. that is making up the most failures due to risky loans in comparison to risky sub prime mortgages.

P.E. is not backed by recoverable assets.

It's worse this time.

Last time it took 4 years for the cracks to show.

This time it was 2 years.

Companies, rather than individuals, are the failure mode.

It's a lot worse this time.

I forgot to add in the UPS monitor on the Pi running Home Assistant.

I've a jira to set that back up and expose it to HA - thankfully NUT is in HA and I think it's the version of NUT that has my commits for both of my UPSes.

I have a second Jira to monitor various "critical" plugs. This has the added benefit to also monitor various ring circuits - being able to narrow down what tripped is nice meta data to have

Shite. The power went in the house. Hope the freezer is ok

Wish they let you top up *all* prior years to their yearly maximum. Currently you can only do last years.

Alternative is an exec pension. Those are interesting

My dislike for dribs and drabs, particularly when you're talking about your own money being refunded, has been ongoing for years.

Sure it's a time demarker - everything from last X is done - but the main reason is to see how small things stack up over X time. Plus it hits different compared to via payroll

End of month expenses done.
AVC for last year's pension done.

Will sort out the rebate when I get back. I've a hape of cheques to cash so will do revenue via cheque. Something nice about it hitting the account all at once instead of dribs and drabs

Recession Signal 20

* There are no skips in the residential streets of various parts of London

* The same is true for my own area in Dublin

* 1 skip is expected. 2 indicates a good housing market - movers, renovation, etc.

* 3 or more occurred up until recently - bathrooms, kitchens, garden rooms, etc

* There was always going to be a correction. External forces have made it far worse.

* The meta verse bubble comes back to haunt us
