  1. Tired pup, but no rest for the wicked. AT&T gateway showed up, so new internet is up and running, and with that comes the porting of the last number.
    Vik had his number for a decade or so, and after he passed, I continued to pay for it and let it idle for six months until I decided what to do, and that was port it to Tello. I gotta say, if'n you're trying to save on your phone, give Tello a look, I do gig last mile package deliver (think UPS's job DoorDash style), hence the testing with a spare phone number. Five months later, and zero problems. And ports are fast, like under 5 minutes fast. So, moved the last phone number from Verizon, last step is to cancel internet, but that can't be done yet as they're still processing the port on their end. Yeah, the VMO is faster than Verizon at this stuff, which is ridiculous.
    So, now I get to update my phone number with all my gig apps tonight, and that'll be done.
    The other thing is a new pair of boots, TimberlandPro this time. Yes, this time, third pair in a year and a half I think? I go through shoes fast, so this is nothing special, and for the price Timberland has held up well. I was thinking about Brunt work wear, but the reviews online are not particularly good, especially as they cost around $50 more than the Timberland, basically good, but not that good. I was wearing a pair of Vik's boots, but they suddenly disintegrated. No, really, the pleather cracking was annoying, but not a big deal, but then the cloth and the pleather separated on the back of the right boot, so time for new boots. This'll be the third type of Timberlands, and we'll see what I think about these, first were great, basically chosen by throwing a dart at the board. Second were picked by price, cheaper than the first pair, but still Timberlands, and they worked well. This time around, I had around 3 or 4 choices within the same $5 range on price, so I decided to try a different style, plus these are TimberlandPro, so I'm curious to see if'n they hold up better.
    Beyond that, not much, work actually is sucking this week, and of course things are way too busy between work and home repairs/improvements. And then there'll be estate matters, tax matters and investment matters. That said, the lion's share (why do we say that?) should be done by end of June, heck I might even be able to take a break on my birthday. I guess after that the hunt for where I settle for the rest of my life begins in earnest, we've done some casual looking, but nothing serious as there's too many variables, but those will be wrapping up, and there'll be little left other than cleaning this place out.

  2. Ian Fleming (May 28, 1908 — August 12, 1964) didn’t invent James Bond out of nowhere. During World War II, he worked in British Naval Intelligence and saw from the inside how real secret operations were planned.

  10. #Today 27

    Good day!

    I normally only have the slightest sinus issues here in the spring. Over a decade is my proof.

    Something has changed.

    For a week or so, I was better, but now it’s back again with a vengeance. Thankfully, it still isn’t as bad as it was on the coast.

    Be everwell.

  11. Good morning kingdom of wonder. #Today is about the usual. A walk to a nice coffee shop. A bustling local market. Dodging motos and tuktuks. And then finding. Finding my morning moments at Spring Coffee. The AC runs and I’m grateful. The croissant and coffee comes. Wonderful! Thanks #cambodia. Another day in my special brand of paradise.

  13. Went back to work #today after the 3 day break. Worked with my 2 favorite coworkers, so that was great. Had the sense to get out for a walk, as it was a beautiful day! Currently at home, enjoying the quiet and just relaxing. Hope you found some beauty in your day today.

  18. Seen today! I'll be putting my California primary ballot in the secure drop box at city hall today or tomorrow. I just have two local races where I still need to make a decision. Election Day is June 2.

  23. #today

    Bought some #mending glue tape so I can better patch the trousers that my fat arse split this morning, and also begin attacking the rest of the decades-old mending pile.

    I'm enrolling on a fresh #hamradio course so I can rejoin the airwaves.

    There's a powerful 18" floor fan by the window keeping me cool right now, as it's like a greenhouse upstairs.

    Trying to give away a double bed with a marginal #woodchip frame, if anyone can be persuaded to #refurbish it somehow? Thoughts please
