Ended up running ARP on only 15 of 32 available threads on the Ryzen 3950x Win 10. It seems to be the sweet spot for work done vs. system resource demand. Any more, and I'd get significant lag in games and other applications. Made it to 5 years though on that project.

Strangely, the Linux system running the slower CPU on paper is doing better with ARP work units, and much less fussy. But that is also a dedicated crunching machine so it doesn't need to be concerned with lag and otherwise usability.

If/once OPN gets a kick in the pants with GPU, I'll dedicate more resource to that as well.

Well, here we are the middle of September. We have had our first light frost. Just enough to turn a few of the leaves on the pumpkin and squash vines black, but not enough to kill the vines yet. It also spared the tomatoes. It is the time of the year to assess just how well or poorly we did in the garden this year.
Successes: Rhubarb was tremendous. The tomatoes have been excellent. I planted two varieties, Better Boy and Celebrity. The Celebrity are nice sized, most of them somewhat bigger than baseballs. They are meaty and have a number of ridges on them. The Better Boys are also slightly bigger then baseballs and almost all of them are smooth, no ridges.
Average: Both the pumpkins, the squash and the gourds are OK. The vines grew well but the fruit had some trouble setting. I do have two very nice sizable pumpkins and several smaller ones. I have about 5 varieties of various kinds of squash of which I have 3 or 4 good specimens, but alas no butternut this year.
Disappointing: The potato crop. I have dug all but one row which I will do tomorrow. The Yukon Gold were especially disappointing as I only got about 5 lbs.(2 kilos) from the planting and most of them were small. The purple potatoes did better but I am only getting about 10 lbs.(4.5 kilos) per row. There are a few nice potatoes in there, but many are small, like oversized golf balls. I do have a few nice ones, about baseball sized, but not as many as I would have expected. I did have potato bugs this year, which I have not had for many years. I think it may have been a little too wet for them this year.
The other good news is the new pullets have finally started laying, so soon I will move them in with the old hens, after I do the fall cleanup in the hen house.
All of my systems continue to hum and I hope it stays that way.
Stay healthy everyone.
Cheers

Mission accomplished. It was a long road, several different operating systems but I got it goin on Windows 8.1 of all things. The Gizmo2 is an old board and the AMD GPU drivers only work with the legacy distros of Linux. I got really close with Ubuntu 16.04. However, I remembered I had a Windows 8.1 retail in a storage box. I grabbed the license number and loaded the Windows 8.1 ISO and then the appropriate AMD driver. Einstine@home is reporting a working GPU! I cant wait for WCG to get Open Pandemics running on GPU!

Thank you for story, sure did have quality time when reading it..

Window still grower myself, couple pics here..

First one is English Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), only young sprout left, since use bush for culinary purposes, a.k.a; pizza topping.

Second one is French Lavender (Lavandula stoechas).
Luv this since variety of it smells...
Where English Lavender has kind of monotonous odor, I would describe it as salty licorice and not much more, like bassoon and thats all folks..
French stuff is more like hold symphony orchestra of aromas, there is like six thousand different scent on one push...

Got a few good beta units today...will help in the pursuit of that elusive 2 yr beta badge.
