I had no VPN connection to work yesterday. I called Verizon about this, and they didn’t know a thing about it. It turns out that the error message I was getting pointed to one of our company’s devices, not Verizon’s. Who could guess? Anyway, I still don’t have a connection and I need to get that fixed today. I have a lot of code that needs to be checked in.
I made a reservation for a trailer space at the 2nd International Teardrop Gathering. Now all I need is a recipe for the Dutch oven workshop. At this point, I’m thinking that zucchini bread might be a good recipe.
