After strong storms ripped through the area, the Raspberry Pi load-balanced and Hugo setup I had running locally, were knocked out and required some updating to bring Brenich.com back online. In order to keep with testing and updating, here are a couple yard photos that require evening and weekend clean-up. Dead tree on neighbor’s driveway and our fence
