Let’s talk about my recent exercise in mapping persistent network drives: Windows: Right click in file explorer, select map drive, enter server path, user name password. Check the Reconnect at login checkbox. Click OK.

Linux: Add user to soduers file, sudo make a directory in /mnt, chown of directory to user, sudo install smbclient, create a cedentials file with server user and password, modify fstab file and add mount command to that and refererwnce credential file, well network stack doesent load until after it tries to map the drives on boot so then I added a 60 second wait to wait for the network to come online.

Yes, things are better now when it comes to installing and hardware compatibility, but for the average person the steps I took to map a network drive is not feasible to pull off. Most people just want things to work without going through multiple steps of trial and error

Love the Kingston Trio and MTA, Dropkick Murphys do a great cover of the song I think, Skinhead on the MTBA

One of my favorite artists, Tim Barry, does (or maybe did) some train hopping so some of his songs are about his experience riding in boxcars and that’s reflected in his album art. A few of his that come to mind are: Driver Pull Chirch of Level Track Steel Road

But for an actual song about a train, I didn’t see “Wabash Cannonball” yet. You can make a playlist from different Artists renditions of this song. Roy Acuff’s take on it is the one that I associate with the song but the Limeliters is probably my favorite.

Corner Gas…that episode where Brent gets a security camera has some of the funniest stuff I think I’ve ever seen on TV. That series is a gem.
