Originally, I was to do +the IP-Max Equinexit today, but I moved that up to [[Wednesday]({{< ref wk5day3.md >}})] instead. So +now I have a whole day left over, and whatever shall I do?? JP and Nicole decided to visit Luzern +today, so they're off early on a train. Since I went to bed at 2am yesterday, and I had an absolute +terrible sleep, waking up at 03:00 with a head full of snot, and again at 04:00, then at 05:00 when +Marina said "hey now that you're up, how's about you rattle Quinn out of bed", and then once again +at 07:00. It was a very unpleasant night. I'm tired already and it's only 10am. + +In the morning, we do some weeding of the front yard. Marina binds the bulbous _Hydranchea_ flowers +together, now that they've really grown big and heavy and are starting to sag over our walkway. +It's been pretty favorable weather, lots of 30C temperatures and every few days a good rainshower to +feed them much needed water. So, they've grown quite a bit. As we chat with Andrea, our neighbor, we +trim and cut back the flowers so that they look a bit less like a jungle. The trimmings we decide to +keep, as we can propagate them. The trick is to remove the leaves at the bottom of the cutting, and +then snip it just under a joint where the leaves shoot from - there are hormone pockets there, and +it's more likely that roots will shoot out from such a location. I advise Marina, a plant biologist +with an ironic deficit of not being able to keep plants alive, and she makes good work of it. I'll +check back in in a few days (maybe 7-10d or so), to see how those went. Perhaps we can plant a few +more in our back yard, that would be nice. + +Then we have a spot of lunch - Marina is taking some of the steamed veggies from yesterday and +making an omelette out of them, and I am taking the leftover onion sauce and sauteed onions and +turning it into a salty onion soup. Both go down well - and for once Marina finishes lunch before I +do: a rare sight! + +After lunch I decide that I'm going to take the ASR9001 from IP-Max out on a date to the IPng lab. I +rack it, boot it (which takes absolutely for ever by the way), and find myself stumbling around the +serial, super tired, mostly possibly because of my interrupted sleep from yesterday. Marina however +cheers me up: _crème-schnitt_ time! I enjoy mine with an espresso coffee, which gives me just +enough of a pep to be able to wire up 12x 10G SFP+ and XFP betweenb one of the loadtesters and the +ASR9001. The loadtest itself is exciting, notably because it does _not_ do line rate small packets. +However, I'll leave the larger technical description for an IPng article, later on next week. + +Tonight, we're eating sticky tofu with sticky rice and steamed broccoli. It's a recipe we have from +Hello Fresh, but one that really got Marina to liking tofu recipes. In her mind, tofu is that white +stuff you get in Miso soup, and she was until recently not convinced that you can also have firm +tofu. Her special trick (which I don't think works) is to press out some more water by placing the +tofu blocks between two cutting boards and loading something heavy on top. Oh well, my dear, if it +works for you, it certainly works for me :-) + +We bought rosé wine, unfortunately the pretty bottles with the sharp artsy edges we bought +were all gone, so we made do with "just" normal bottles. This one is a fair bit more dry than the +facetted-bottle-one, and because I'm just a little bit tired I decide to limit myself to one tiny +glass. Dinner is had, and bellies explode. We eat a lot of this tofu stuff! A totally veganistical +meal! + +AFter dinner, we take a walk up the hill, and both of us notice that even halfway up the path, we +need to take a little sit down to recover. Geez, Rick, I'm really not energetic today! After the +schlepp up, which is really only 30 meters (100ft) of elevation gain, the walk _back down_ is not +terrible at least. It's nice weather out, not too hot, and still bright blue skies. I love Summer, +so much. + +Back home, we reconnect with JP and Nicole who have returned from Luzern. They executed their whole +plan without flaw - train to Luzern, boat around the lake, up mount _Pilatus_, down with the +cogwheel train, and overall had a very enjoyable time in and around Luzern. Great! But now all of us +are tired, each for their own reasons [admittedly, mine being the lamest reason]. + +We plop on the couch and watch a belgian movie: _Mijn Papa is een Saucisse_ (My dad is a Sausage, +[[IMDB](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5939328/)]), with Johan Heldenbergh alongside young Savannah +Vandendriessche (gotta love those Belgiansurnameswhichareallinoneword). Another actress in the movie +is Hilde De Baerdemaeker, also a classic use of the double -ae- there!) who we just saw in the +flemish police series _Coppers_. The movie is a real feel-good family drama about a stressed out Dad +called Paul, who quits his banking job to become an actor, without any support from his family +except his daughter Zoë. It's entirely predictable, but for me it really worked. I enjoyed it. + +At 22:00 everybody skedaddles and I am left thinking that I still want to move my day up a little +bit, because of tomorrow's Zurich Open Air. So I go downstairs to do a bit more loadtesting on the +ASR9001, and at around midnight I decide that I will call it a night. I can always take a nap +tomorrow afternoon, being the old geezer I have clearly become. + +## Pictures of the Day + +{{< gallery-category >}} + {{< gallery-photo fn="2024-08-30/IMG_0914.JPG" caption="Marina lovingly holds the hydranchea cuttings, which we will try to propagate" >}} + {{< gallery-photo fn="2024-08-30/IMG_0917.JPG" caption="I do a bit of emergency balloon repair of our 'Happy Birthday' balloons, the -r- is -r-ipped, and some kapton tape comes to the rescue." >}} + {{< gallery-photo fn="2024-08-30/IMG_0919.JPG" caption="I prepare a loadtester with 6pcs of dual 10G NIC, because the ASR9001 I am loadtesting has 12 ports." >}} + {{< gallery-photo fn="2024-08-30/IMG_0920.JPG" caption="Some energy and relief is given by this nice cup of espresso and creme schnitt." >}} + {{< gallery-photo fn="2024-08-30/IMG_0921.JPG" caption="Here's an MPA4X10G module for the A9K, we use these all over the place, but can they do 4x 14.88Mpps and 40Gbps of throughput?" >}} + {{< gallery-photo fn="2024-08-30/IMG_0922.JPG" caption="Marina's trick to get dry tofu is to squeeze it until it stops moving." >}} + {{< gallery-photo fn="2024-08-30/IMG_0923.JPG" caption="We enjoy a glass (just one, today!) of rosé wine" >}} + {{< gallery-photo fn="2024-08-30/IMG_0926.JPG" caption="After dinner, we crawl up the hill in slow motion.
