Sleep 0430 to 1230 (8 hours)

• We visited mom and dad for mom's birthday. I drove by myself and if I had woken up earlier I would have finally tried Tracy Harbour Fish & Chips which is right there when we stop at the Starbucks for coffee and bathroom break.

Sleep 0200 to 0730, 1400 to 1530. (7 hours)

• Turns out C3 and Steph had to leave at 0900 so I woke up early and left a bit afterwards. At 1000 a lot of traffic heading back to the Bay Area although no slowdowns.

• macOS Sequoia and iOS/iPadOS 18 released. Also updates to previous release. Will probably update point release but not major release for a bit in case there is an issue that pops up that requires Apple to do a point release immediately.
• Ars Technica mentioned using OpenCore Legacy Patcher to install newer macOS versions on older PPC/Intel Macs. Might do this for my Mac mini since macOS 12 is not supported by Homebrew and I mainly use it for server stuff, not graphics intensive stuff.

Sleep 0830 to 1530 (7 hours)

• Turns out my main iPad is too old for iPadOS 18. My alt iPad tops out at iPadOS 16.
• iPhone is fine with iPadOS 18. MBP is fine with macOS Sequoia (though that will most likely be the last major OS for it). Does that mean I should refresh my iPad rather than MBP? Would be nice in terms of refreshing my iPhone/iPad/MBP as they become obsolete but I do want an Apple Silicon Mac so I can do development on it.

Sleep 1130 to 1630 (5 hours)

• Chaosium is going to do an ElfQuest RPG reprint boxed set (with all the supplements). If it's like previous re-issues it's basically good scans then printed on softcover books so it's similar to the original releases. I might buy it since it's just a reprint-and-done not an attempt to start a new RPG line.

Sleep 0030 to 0630, 2 hour nap (8 hours)

• Decided to use OpenCore Legacy Patcher and try to upgrade my Mac mini 2014 model to macOS Sequoia.
• Ordered a Belkin USB-C to Ethernet Adapter from the Apple Store and will pick up tomorrow. Want to test that I can plug in a computer to the garage switch's ethernet port.

Sleep 0630 to 1100 (4-1/2 hours)

• Office Depot at Brittan and Industrial. Got lost getting there cause I haven't been driving in that area for a couple of years.
• Apple Store to pick up my order. Long wait line because turns out it's iPhone 16 release day.
• Safeway for toothpaste and dental floss. $5 special in cooked foods section didn't look interesting.
• Popeyes. Decided to get fried chicken here instead.
• Monterra to deposit $300 since there's a branch across the street from Popeyes.
• Back home. With traffic and waiting I was gone three hours.
• Started the Swift Playgrounds Learning to Code lesson. Very simple (CJr could almost do it I think) but neat in a Logo sort of way in that you are manipulating a character moving on a grid and doing stuff.
