howeirdAfter breakfast the plan was to go to T-Mobile, change to the 5+ unlimited data plan and maybe get a 5G phone.
It only took 90 minutes, plus 10 minutes waiting.
And it turned out better than expected. The new plan required a new phone number, so my old old old Palo Alto area code is gone and now I have a Las Vegas 702 number. When I first moved here I tried to get one but I was with Verizon and all they had was suburban 725.
They gave a generous trade-in allowance for my phone, and bottom line is I scored an $1100 5G phone for $240 and unlimited data for $5/mo more than limited.
They were able to transfer about 90% of my info, including my apps in the same look & feel. However, I did have to log into most of them, and some of them had stupid 2-step verification which sent the code to my old phone number. Google was the worst - it wanted to send it to any o 3 devices I either no longer own or did not accept text messages.
A lot of the day was spent on the PC and on the phone updating my various accounts.
Tivo 4k would not play PTI at all from YouTubeTV and Amazon Fire played it about 2 seconds out of sync. Very annoying.
Did get all the Masked Singer episodes and watched #2.
Lots more content on YTTV
Spook attacked Maam again. Maam has been a nuisance - climbing all over me while I was working on the PC.
I set up the green screen poles behind the home theater, in front of the (closed) bay windows and ordered some hanging plants.
Joined the RPCV zoom, but that will be the last time. All males except for one silent woman.
Plans for tomorrow:
Install the new pump
Other duties as assigned (dishwasher)
