Sleep 0500 to 1300. (8 hours)

  • I didn't notice because it's a little hidden at the top of Settings. My new iPhone comes with complimentary 3 months of Apple News+ and I have until March 24th to activate. I'll probably wait until mid March to activate because I have plenty of books to read.

Sleep 0400 to 1200. (8 hours)

  • After a day of fantasy football I'm ahead 160.82 to 136.12+0.36=136.48, a 24.34 point lead. I have RB Joe Mixon (14.89 pts) and K Tyler Bass (9.16) left. He has WR T Higgins (16.82) and LB Logan Wilson (21.88). Even though I have an edge could easily go either way. I have a chance because QB Daniel Jones (40.18 pts, 18.46 expected) and QB Sam Darnold (24.64/15.16) each had their best game of the season.

Sleep 0330 to 1130. (8 hours)

  • My HP LaserJet 1012 printer died. I don't remember how long I've had it. Maybe late 1990's when I was living in Concord printing BattleTech Mech sheets. (I found the shipping paper and I bought this Dec 2003.) In the last couple of years it always jammed printing 2+ pages so I only fed in and printed 1 page at a time.
  • The Wirecutter recommended a nice HP Color LaserJet but HP uses security-chipped toner cartridges. With my 1012 I always bought HP-branded toner cartridges but I don't like being forced to do it.
  • The Wirecutter for b&w recommended Brother HL-L2350DW monochrome laser printer which I bought on Amazon for $164. This has Wifi and there is a cheaper one without but it'd be nice to air print from iDevices.

Sleep 0330 to 1130. (8 hours)

  • With my new iPhone it always wants to backup data to iCloud so every time I do a desktop backup I have to select to backup data to this Mac.
  • I do like that when you do that you have to enter passcode into your iDevice (this behavior has been around for a couple months).

Wed Jan 04 2023

Sleep 0300 to 1100. (8 hours)

  • Dropped one of my backup hard drives and now it won't mount. Not a huge problem as I have a second backup hard drive and a spare blank to start a new backup. Not worth trying to recover the data but I'll keep the drive around since I can't erase the data on it.

Thu Jan 05 2023

Sleep 0315 to 1200. (8-3/4 hours)

  • Replaced the 13W flourescents that are on the ceiling in guest bathroom hallway, laundry closet, master bed/linen cabinet hallway, master closet with 5.5W (60W equivalent) LEDs. Much brighter now so I think the 13Ws were closer to 40W than 60W.
