Diary - Oct 08 to Oct 14 2022

Sat Oct 08 2022

Sleep 0930 to 1415. 1900 to 2100. (6-3/4 hours)

  • I wasn't sleepy at all until 0900 or so...
  • Rising Waters, a board game about the 1927 Mississippi Flood, developed by historians at Central Michigan University. Heard about it on History on the Table podcast. Not a wargame but looks kind of cool.

Sun Oct 09 2022

Sleep 0500 to 1200. (7 hours)

  • Apple Books app doesn't save third party audio books to iCloud, which makes sense since audio books are big and a default 5 GB account wouldn't be able to hold more than about five before running out of space.
  • Also found out you can edit book info in list views.
  • All my audio books are in Apple Music app because (1) they don't sync to iCloud and (2) I can edit the category and author info for easier sorting. Since I can do both in Apple Books app I will move my audio books there.
  • Aargh, never mind. You can't edit info for audio books, only normal books.

Mon Oct 10 2022

Sleep 0030 to 0330, 0700 to 1200. (8 hours)

  • With all the construction going on, lots of drilling and breaking up concrete starting last week, I appreciate AirPods Max noise cancellation. Better than the cheap disposable ear plugs I bought years ago.

Tue Oct 11 2022

Sleep 0130 to 0300, 0730 to 1030. (4-1/2 hours)

  • 4-1 in my fantasy football league. Sole first place in a 12-team league. From here only way to go is down.

Wed Oct 12 2022

Sleep 2230 to 0100, 0700 to 1330. (8 hours)

  • When construction work started I tried using my AirPods Max and sleeping. Fairly good experience. You have to sleep face up which I almost never do. With some background sounds (I also tried Portal) the noise didn't bother me and I could get to sleep.

Thu Oct 13 2022

Sleep 0130 to 330. 0900 to 1400. (7 hours)

  • Fantasy football week 6. First bye week and I have four players off plus one player questionable so that's all five bench positions. Luckily (well, a bit planned) I have just enough players to deploy a full team and no questionable status players.

Fri Oct 14 2022

Sleep 2330 to 0600. 90 min nap. (7-3/4 hours)

  • Drove to parent's place using scenic route. Highway 4 at Hercules then Highway 160 after Antioch, through Isleton following the Sacramento River then cut across at Hood Franklin Road. It was a 3-hour drive, normally 2 hours.
