howeirdUp and out early. Stopped at the post office and mailed my S9 back, using an Amazon plastic padded envelope which the new phone car mount came in. $7 and change, to Las Vegas, with tracking. Due there Monday.
Light traffic most of the way. At work early.
The soundbar got a new build late in the day, and it did not fix what it was supposed to fix. So I hooked up the Norway box, and started running the overnight YouTube test, which was still running when I left.
Lunch was a Safeway chef salad, strawberries and a pickle.
Right when I was about to go next door to see our London rep give a presentation, Tall Engineer wants me to take bozomanager's soundbar and see if his new build fixed 3 tests which had failed yesterday. Nope. And it made me miss the presentation.
Boo, hiss.
Plugged the car in at 4:30, set up the new holder. It didn't stick to the windshield but it had a stick-on plate which fit right where Ford made a spot for it behind the steering wheel. Started streaming with streamlabs, but it locked up after a minute or three. Reset it a few miles away at a stop light and it stayed up till I got home.
Lots of things delivered: insulin pens for my high-speed insulin, pen needles (they screw onto the tip of the pen), two Samsung a/v adapters for work (I ordered a second one because we have two samsung TVs at work which can use them).
Dinner was in two parts. A beef flavored bowl of ramen noodles, and a piece of asian BBQ salmon which took half an hour to bake. It was on special at GO. Tasty, but a wee bit spicy for me. The last of the dark chocolate covered tangerines for dessert.
Watched PTI and something else I cannot remember now. Or maybe not. Graham Norton, who had Whoopie Goldberg, Harry Connick Jr , two young actors I can't remember and BTS the Korean poop group.
Got mail from Ford reminding me to see if I am above the number of miles my lease calls for. I'm good for 35,000. Right now I have 16,000. Lease is up in Feb. I can buy the car for $17k plus paperwork fees. No thanks, I want an all-electric.
Been streaming and chatting for half an hour, first with twitch and then with streamlabs. No problemo. It does need the phone plugged in, though.
Plans for tomorrow:
Target, surgical strike shopping
Watch some college football
Play with the cats
Wait for my pixel 3 xl to be delivered and set up.
And maybe some garden maintenance.
