Sleep 0400 to 1130. (7-1/2 hours)

• D&D session #4. Went to Quasqueton, met bandits but friendly, tested magic pools.
• Dinner at Ramen Parlor. T-Mobile reception really good there.

Sleep 0415 to 1145. (7-1/2 hours)

• AirPods Max after 2-1/2 months still working great. After a night walk when I come back sweaty I've checked behind the earpieces (you can take them out easily as they're magnetically attached) it's still dry. I recall doing that with the old unit and there was moisture even droplets of sweat rolling around. Maybe that moisture eventually cause the original problems.

Sleep 0600 to 1200. (6 hours)

• Three years later and The Black Madonna for T2K is nearing completion. Apparently there will be a boxed set which I guess I'll be buying.

Sleep 0230 to 1199. (8-1/2 hours)

• Watching the Aug 11 Giants vs Rangers game. The Giants had a pitcher pitch the first inning then switched to second pitcher for the regular part of the game. I searched around but can't tell if that's something their doing regularly (i.e. use a reliever in the first since starting pitchers tend to get banged early, then let the starter warm up with the latter half of the lineup).

Sleep 0330 to 1130. (8 hours)

• Article: AirPods Max owners are reporting condensation problems. "using the headphones inappropriately, such as in long, outdoor walks". Didn't think that was inappropriate usage. Rain makes sense; don't think rain-proof headsets are a thing.

Sleep 0630 to 1315. (6-3/4 hours)

• Car Warriors: The Autoduel Chronicles GameLit Fiction KS. This is to help fund the next two Car Wars fiction novels. The $20 eBook bundle I guess is best: the three novels in the trilogy (first novel was published a month or three ago) and an anthology book. But this is pretty much the regular price and the stretch goals are mostly new add-ons you can pay for. So there is no reason to back this unless you support the project (and the books were already going to be made anyway I think).

Sleep 0330 to 0930. 1 hour nap. (7 hours)

• DDO: Temple of the Deathwyrm raid on Normal took us 86 min (plus 15 to 20 minutes getting the quest and getting to the raid entrance). We had done it before and but not able to finish final fight. This time it really helps to have Bard buffs so we can stay healed up.
