howeirdThat new insulin continues to kick my butt. Injected the correct evening dose but woke up at 4:30 am with a low of 69. Put on a robe & slippers, grabbed two Klondike bars from the freezer and sat in front of the new TV to start watching The Hunt For Red October. Recorded on Tivo with ad skip. Closed captions refused to appear, so I'm glad the audio engineering was great and most of the actors enunciated. It's not my kind of show, and I was disappointed in mediocre cinematography. Underwater sequences were phoned in. But the cast was phenomenal. Paused it after half an hour because Hgl was up and after-low lag was starting so bedtime. The wind was blowing hard outside, but I don't think it was raining yet.
Out of bed by 11:30, Hgl high now.
Took drugs, read email, one more feeler from a LinkedIn contact about a local QA job. Read the news, then sat down to more Red October. Interrupted by a monsoon downpour, went outside and sat on the chair on the back landing to watch. Heavy rain falling straight down, despite the wind. The street stayed wet for an hour. Probably a few hundredths of an inch. I bet the sage bush will flower again tomorrow. Not enough rain to rejuvenate the cacti next to it.
Found a setting on the TV to have it always power up looking at HDMI 3.
And need to look online for what the remote's buttons do, they are not intuitive and the quick start guide doesn't mention them. There doesn't seem to be a volume control for the internal speakers. I also need to check on the AV receiver how to enable the optical out from the TV to the home theater speakers.
Outdoor Nevada looked good on the big screen. So did Hot Bench. The Graham Norton Show looked super.
Because of the rain I did not drive anywhere. And we had a cable service outage for a couple of hours.
Dinner was corn dogs and a pickle after the usual salad.
Jade was making a lot of crying noise, but she shifted to purring and "meep" when I went to visit and pet her. She is scared of the new open door/gate, won't come to me when I stand outside it. She does go to the nearby food & water & uses the litterbox.
Petco delivered a cartridge so I swapped out Spook's litterbox. I did Jade's yesterday. Six more cartridges coming on the 13th - I like to change them every 2 weeks.
Tomorrow:
PO, drop off the 2nd try headset return
Maybe go to the souvenir store on the strip
Take the camera out for some iconic photos.
Tivo has Shark Tank and Penn & Teller
