Connected, tools

Yesterday was a good one in my preparations for the building move.  I was able to take a laptop over to the temporary building and successfully connect to our network.  That was really the biggest concern in my mind, now that the two areas are connected it is just a matter of moving equipment and changing a few numbers around.  The only other thing I am looking to do is increase the link between the two networks from 100 mb to 1000 mb which will be handled by adding two 1000 TX SFP transceivers into two Cisco switches along the way.

I am also prepping for my upcoming Tacoma project which will lift the truck roughly 3 inches in the front and around two in the rear.  I bought a set of ratcheting wrenches last week and a 22MM impact socket last night which is necessary for some of the big bolts and nuts involved in suspension work.  Just like any project, I have some anxiety about ripping into my new Tacoma in the most extensive way so far.  However I have watched the install video for the kit twice so far and I don’t think it will be too bad as long as I take my time.  Having Chuck, who installed a much more involved 4″ lift on his Tacoma , help me do the work makes the probability of success very high.  The nice thing about this set up is it is totally reversible, just in case.
