Plus a few directories on the network with configuration files, resources, etc... But nothing local!

There is your bug right there.
I have written MFC apps so many years ago I was still young, and didnt have a mortgage, that stil run today.
If it works, dont fix/break it.
(And I still use MFC for all my user mode code. (I am a kernel guy))

A friend of a friend wrote software that was deployed at a company near the beach which also happened to have a very big horse race every year. He injected a bug to trigger every year just before the weekend of the big horse race. So every year he had an all expenses paid trip to the races to 'fix' the bug. Just goes to show - bugs come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and they can be really useful too!

The trailer is upgrade from previous years model - a mid '70s vintage Scotty travel trailer.

I know it sounds silly, but give me something like that... bring my sailboat close to the ocean, and I'll be happy to work remotely.

Unless you count listening to classical music while sitting at home sending out invoices for July's work, having lunch with the gf in a couple hours, working on the Beaglebone - bill acceptor interface some more and taking a walk later at High Falls[^].

Absolutely. All those metal violin and cello strings must be rather heavy, not to mention the brass horn section and silver plated nickel or brass flutes.

Heavy metal pffffffft.[^]
It ain't heavy unless the noisy physically rattles you.
