Tuesday was a boring day. I spent the post-WLF-choring hours indoors putting away camping gear and going through a stack of paperwork.
I learned last night that not all meals made from a melange of vegetables combined with pantry staples are great. Last night’s cous cous dish was so so.
Today is my semi-annual dentist visit day. Admittedly I am not as confident going into this check up as I’d like to be, but hopefully all will turn out well. It’s funny because in my rewatching of “Monk” I have arrived at the episode “Mr. Monk Goes To The Dentist”, in which Jon Favreau plays a sinister dentist, and I cannot watch it before my appointment. 😮🙄
I’m giving myself a chore-free day in WLF because of my 1pm appointment.
Once the breakfast casserole is out of the oven I will be reading the paperwork explaining the Equalized Homestead Option Sales Tax Property Cut (EHOST) that some how has magically made my Dekalb County property tax $0.00 this year. As an unemployed person I am certainly not complaining about not having to pay county property taxes this year!
Tonight I will be going over to Betsy’s, perhaps by bike or foot, depending on the weather, for Top Chef night. It’s Betsy’s turn to cook, so all I need to do show up.
Hope your week thus far has been happy and healthy.
Our (very old) computer has finally crapped out—what’s wrong with it I don’t know but it isn’t functioning. Perhaps a video card issue, or could be the dreaded hard drive. We were just about to buy a new computer and make the switch from PC to Mac but haven’t quite figured out all the ins and outs of migrating from Windows to a Mac, and now we may have to see if it’s even possible to migrate from the backup if the computer isn’t functional to do a physical data transfer. Welllllll, perhaps a new Mac isn’t in our future after all. We shall see.
Maybe test driving a CRV today? Computer shopping? I guess this scenario is to be expected when you keep items for a very long time. Good thing we have savings…
The husband wants to plan another mini-vacation for his second (and final) assigned vacation week (very quickly) coming up. I thought we were going to go camping / glamping in the mountains but now he wants to go to Greenville. I do too, but perhaps Labor Day weekend isn’t the best time. We can’t go mid-week because we have Hamilton tickets smack dab in the middle.
Going for be busy the next few weeks! 😬😳
C’mon, remember those that own Apple stock… 😂 I might be going to the Apple store in Cumberland Mall today, if it’s open.
Bonnie, judging by the photo you posted of the first generation iPod connected to a cassette adapter in your car I can only imagine how old your PC is 🙂
Just kidding!
Greenville is a cool town and there are tons of destinations to go to from there, hiking, biking, etc.
I’ve been to Greenville once and liked it. I’d offer suggestions, but they all revolve around beer. 😂
Bob, how are the eyes?
Eyes are great! Thanks for asking.
I’m able to start riding on Thursday and can’t wait to ride without glasses. Being uncomfortable for a day or so will be totally worth it. I can even work without glasses for now but I’m sure I’ll need readers for that soon.
You are spot on Bob, it’s OLD! 😠That’s how we roll… And it’s a desktop (gasp!). The new computer will be a desktop also as the husband doesn’t like laptops.
I would think about that Bonnie, laptops are just as powerful as desktops now and can be mobile if needed. Get a docking station setup for home and take it on travels with you to search for stuff.
Just a consideration
Oh there’s been plenty of discussion over the years and currently. I want a laptop but I can’t convince him. 🤷ðŸ¼â€â™€ï¸
You pay more for a laptop, but in my mind they are worth it. Power goes out? It has a battery!
The only reason I have (and may again) buy a “desktop†would be to make a build server. 🤓
I just got a new laptop, sorry Paulie, not an Apple product.
I’m trying to get it set up, but slowly.
I guess I’m supposed to use it to look for a job.
Waiting for a plumber, decided to get my shower fixed, the faucet doesn’t completely shut off when I pull the little tab to turn on the shower head. I don’t have enough water pressure. Allan said he doesn’t want to try to deal with it, so, a plumber is on the way.
I’m also having lunch with a former coworker today, should be interesting to hear what she has to say.
Fine, buy PCs to force me to look for another job. 😂
Plumber? I’ve heard of those… 😂
Plumber is here, spout pull thing is messed up, need a whole new spout. Simple, yet not simple solution. He’s seeing what he has in the truck, or I’ll just have to find a new one myself.
Day 2 from Birmingham… before the Games call last night I drove the old neighborhood. My how it all seemed so small and cramped. The old house is teeny tiny and the yard , a perfect postage stamp square I remember my dad planting with Zoysia, now has 2 fully mature pine trees in it. Amazing what happens in 50+ years! But the grass still looks good.
Bob, just because the vision is good doesn’t mean you shouldn’t ride without glasses!! Especially off road.
-FP
100% Steve, I guess I meant to say will be able to ride without prescription glasses. I would always wear something, clear, yellow, or tinted lenses.
Dentist done. Nothing found today, though I just have a sinking suspicion that I am not out of the woods. 🤷ðŸ»â€â™‚ï¸
Very late (for me) lunch at Hankook – a very last-minute decision. I might not be hungry tonight.
What tacos did you get?
I ordered a tofu burrito and some fries. I must have mis-ordered because the fries were like nachos, covered with meat and smothered in kimchi, cheese, and sriracha. Damn they were good! I finished about 75% of what was brought to my table, which was far too much for me to eat.
Ummmm… Nacho fries!
Meeting over for today. Working on wireless upgrades. big. fun.
They were amazing, and are why I will be walking to Betsy’s house tonight. 😂
