Fallen Leaf Lake

Fallen Leaf Lake is about 20 minutes South of Lake Tahoe. When I went, there was nobody there.

Granite? Yes.
Tahoe Blue water? Almost.

The road to get in and out of there is pretty bad. It reminds me a lot of the crappy little road down to Yosemite Creek campground or Kaiser Pass road outside of Fresno. Will I go back? Probably not. It’s nice, but it’s not Tahoe.

You just can’t replace Lake Tahoe.

Raspberry Pi stuff

This is pretty much just a reminder to myself. Most people can ignore this post. If you’re troubleshooting your pi feel free to email me with your questions. This post is unclear and incomplete.

A few things have changed with the new version of Debian: Stretch

Ethernet names of changed. The old stuff like wlan0 and eth0 aren’t used. To find the new names of network devices use ifconfig or iwconfig

SSH is disabled by default. So when setting up a headless install put an empty file called ssh in the boot directory

For wireless headless install the wpa_supplicant.conf file (also put this in the boot dir) needs some changes to the beginning:

country=US
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

network={

ssid=”mySSID1″
psk=”myPassword”
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}

network={
ssid=”mySSID2″
psk=”myPassword”
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}

City of Dope

I call it… Oak

There weren’t many people there.

Oakland A’s beat Anaheim (Los Angeles) Angels

Manaea got the win. Khris Davis hit #39

Day baseball in the Bay Area in September? For me, it doesn’t get much better than that.
