Lots of driving, and attempted streaming from the car. Bottom line is the Pixel phone overheats and shuts down after about 4 minutes in the charger/holder. I need to try it without the power adapter plugged in. Hand-held at Ethel M worked fine.

It is probably the combination of how hot it is under the windshield and how hot the charger makes it. And I may need a different streaming device.

First stop was Target. No SodaStream exchanges or cartridges. Very few syrups, I only bought a pair of piña colada mixes. Unripe bananas FTW, rot guard cans x 2. No diabetic supplies at all, no sharps container mailers.

On to Ethel M, for dark chocolate $40 box and dark chocolate cherry liqueur $25 box. Which is half eaten already.

Hillshire Farms pastrami & Ritz crackers for lunch. Horrible pastrami. Way too much salt & pepper.

Stormview guy found some impressive storms late in his afternoon. Rock collector guy was at his cabin, fishing by the reservoir but not catching anything while I was watching.

Lots of disturbing police foo in Las Vegas. Protesters and reporters attacked while on the sidewalk following orders. Pepper spray and armored personnel carriers deployed.  Nasty stuff.

And somewhere in SoCal a state trooper arrested a fireman for parking his fire truck where it was needed. Idiocy abounds.

Watched a 3-hour 90 Day Fiancé episode. Two more to go. This time it's the whole story from Day 1 to Day 90.
The Zoo was so exciting I fell asleep while they went anal about feeding the penguins.

Streamed for an hour, some new chatters and a couple of returnees.

Spook now has the look down pat for when she wants me to deploy the foot rest.

Took out all the garbage, including the litterbox cartridge,And all those failed underpants.  And all the recycled. Then gathered up a small pile of things for the big trash haul. Empty boxes, broken 8mm projector, unreadable weather stations, the broken kitchen cart. Spook was a nuisance wanting to lay in front of the screen door while I was going in and out.

Delivered - SodaStream cartridges x 2. Good, because I was down to my last one.

Dinner was green curry beef on rice, chocolate ice cream. Lots of rice & curry left for another day.

The car is plugged in. It was down to about 40%

Plans for tomorrow:
Try more streaming from the car.
Do some research on IRL streamng
Bring my Nikon and find the Whitney Mesa park I passed on my way to Ethel M.

Woke up with the alarm, took a leak, weighed myself (I gained a pound) then went back to bed. Woke up at 10:30. I had not reloaded my weekly meds boxes so that took about 15 minutes.

Late breakfast, but not late enough for it to be lunch. Nibbled on misc things for lunch.

Turned on Tivo, watched NFL Live, but the two 90 Day Fiance episodes from yesterday were blank. Cox cable had gone out. Luckily there were reruns today to record.

Watched some streamers, then the front door bell rang. Table delivered.

Set up the table in the office space, grabbed the three sets of plastic drawers from the floor of the guest room, put them on the table. There is still a bunch of stuff on the floor. Most of it belongs in a closet. Or Goodwill. Or the ancestral photo rack. Maybe I'll sort that tomorrow.

Brought in the garbage bins & unplugged the car.

Another email from Tellus, resulted in a woman with a hispanic accent calling, asking me q's to qualify me for a job screening content on TikTok. It looked like right up my alley. So she sent me an online test. It was a typing and grammar test. The results said I got a couple of the grammar questions wrong, but their answers were wrong. She said I needed to take the test again, I replied that I was not applying for a typing job, I was applying for a visual content analysis job so no thanks.

Lots of time on FB. Too much stuff from a couple of friends who want to echo every news story they see. Southern white people feeling guilty for all their unwashed neighbors.

Part 3 of the 2-part 90 Days reunion got recorded and watched. David just digs himself in deeper. If he's as rich as he claims to be, Lala should marry him, and insist he shares his checking account. Ed called out Rose, she lied. She's ugly when she lies. Ed owns up to his defects. Tom is psycho. Ash is too. Erica is fun and needs to find a lover in Berkeley.

Also delivered was one set of 3 pairs of the new Chinese undies. The waistband is a bit tight but they fit well otherwise and would be good to swim in. Pretty comfortable.

And the other two Dashiki shirts arrived. Hung them in the closet.

Dinner was salad and a frozen chicken with mashed meal. Chocolate ice cream.

Plans for tomorrow:
Albertson's
Call for a nails appointment
Clean up the guest room
