Diary - Feb 17 to Feb 23 2024


Sat Feb 17 2024

Sleep 0230 to 1000, 1 hour nap. (8-1/2 hours)

  • Ran D&D Session #9.
  • Lunch at Hiro Nori.
  • Rainbow. I only had one drink then I got extremely sleepy so went up with Cjr, Sophia and Jonathan and took a long nap.

Sun Feb 18 2024

Sleep 0100 to 1000 (8 hours)

  • Ran D&D Session #10. Was a bit late and short because Jonathan lost one of CJr’s new dice. We found it the next day in an umbrella.

Mon Feb 19 2024

Sleep 0300 to 0900, 1 hour nap, 30 min nap. (7-1/2 hours)

  • Last morning of the Con. Ended up not playing any games. Visited the dealer’s room a couple of times but didn’t buy anything.
  • Dim Sum lunch.

Tue Feb 20 2024

Sleep 0130 to 0900, 1 hour nap (8-1/2 hours)

  • HOA: AT&T installed their VoIP device for the front door phone line. It replaces POTS with an Internet connection (via Ethernet) and cellular backup. Since we don’t have Ethernet yet in the garage the device is using cellular as primary. Once we have Ethernet they will come back and connect it. The device supports 8 phone lines.
  • HOA: Roofing contractor came by to quickly check the roof since we had some concerns but the walkway pads bubbling and cut slits are normal. Slits were there to make sure water and condensation aren’t trapped forever. Moreover the walkway pads are on top of the protective seal in any case.
  • Drobo says 5th drive failed. Once again letting it rebuild then will try to plug in the drive again.

Wed Feb 21 2024

Sleep 0400 to 1100 (7 hours)

  • Eye exam. Ordered new distance glasses. $247 for frame ($96 me, $200 insurance), high index (lowers weight, $76 me, $75 insurance) and UV or transition (forgot which one, $75 me, $75 insurance).
  • Dinner at C3’s. We got delivery from Crepevine.
  • My right foot (ankle) started hurting so I went to Trader Joe’s for more food and drink in case my foot swells up tomorrow.

Thu Feb 22 2024

Sleep 0130 to 0915. 1 hour nap. (8-3/4 hours)

  • Right foot hurts and hobbling around today.

Fri Feb 23 2024

Sleep 0200 to 0930 (7-1/2 hours)

  • Woke up. Foot swollen a little but less than I expected. I fear I won't be able to drive my parents to SFO this Thursday so I need to tell dad to make other arrangements.
  • Uh, oh. Drobo reports that drive 2 was removed. It’s time to move my data off it. So it lasted six years which I guess is not horribly bad though less than I’d like — I expected the Drobo to last longer than the hard drives.
  • After a reboot the Drobo sees drive 2 again but now it needs to rebuild data.
  • Drove to CSr’s place to put their recycling bin back. A bit rough but was able to drive ok.
