Reinstalling grub on my Debian 12 LVM LuksCrypt dual-boot laptop

-
So, Microsoft's latest Windows 11 update decided to blow away my dual-boot config because Microsoft apparently hasn't been involved in an antitrust lawsuit recently enough.  (Seriously, I liken this to buying a Ford vehicle and then discovering that it actively disables any non-Ford vehicles also parked in your driveway.  Not cool, Microsoft.)

Birthday trip to Joshua Tree Nat'l Park

We loaded the family into the T210 and headed to Palm Springs, CA for a weekend trip to Joshua Tree National Park .  For this trip we reserved a quirky, cute little mid-century mod AirBNB home in Joshua Tree, CA, right up the street from the north entrance to the park. Sadly, we had to cut the trip a day short and come back Sunday instead of Monday because of a fast moving winter storm system that blew into the Reno / Tahoe area Sunday night.  I had a backup plan to fly to Bishop, CA and drive the rest of the way but the storm system was too big and too unpredictable to chance that not working either, so we cut our losses and headed back early. As such, we only got one day in the park.  It was beautiful and the whole area was charming, so I expect we'll be back.
