Sleep 0030 to 0230, 0915 to 1200 (4-3/4 hours)

• Gaming at Dave and Sophia’s. CSr was sick and Corina busy so C3 didn’t come. Sophia was also late playing badminton. It was mostly Dave S and I. Dave W took a nap and we occupied Jonathan though he mostly watched videos and rolled dice.
• Dinner at Gourmet House.
• MW5. Since CSr was out Dave S hosted with his company (there is no shared campaign like with Gloomhaven where anyone who played in the last session has access to the latest save file and can host the next session — I guess that means save files are kept local to each player). Another three or four missions and I used a Centurion. We did a two-part contract and in this case you don’t get to repair between missions but you can switch out Mechs. In any case we were down to three Mechs in a defense mission, Dave S and I got our Mechs destroyed and it was up to Dave W to take on the final bad guy and he managed to win.

• One thing I’ve noticed is that Tubi is a bit sneaky. If you’ve paused for a while then resume playback it’ll soon go to ad break. Don’t really blame them since if you’ve gone away then returned and started watching again you are more likely to sit through the ads.

Sleep 0730 to 1315 (5-3/4 hours)

• Worked on the HOA operating budget spreadsheet and sent it out for board review before Thursday’s meeting.

Sleep 0145 to 0945 (8 hours)

• I think I figured out my old Ooma Telo device. After a power outage it has rapid blinking yellow light and won’t connect. I tried unplugging and replugging Ethernet and power but doesn’t help. If I unplug both for a day and then plug back in that seems to work.
• But I guess in any case I should start changing my contact number to my iPhone. Because eventually the Ooma will die and I don’t want to buy a new one and keep paying $7 a month for a service rarely used.

Sleep 0345 to 0600 (2-1/4 hours)

• C3+S Dinner. We got delivery from Totoro Ramen. Cjr is going an overnight camping trip on Friday. CSr is still a bit sick.

Thu Sep 25 2025

Sleep 0400 to 1100 (7 hours)

• HOA Meeting. We got operating budget approved though took some convincing of our president Roger B. No matter the budget or special assessment he wants to reduce the financial burden a little which does add up over the years to a fairly good $100k+ over budget in the last six years. This time the budget committee convinced him to let it be $865 per month dues, about 7-1/2 percent increase.

Sleep 0215 to 0300, 1600 to 1930 (4-1/4 hours)

• We played MW5 with CSr hosting. DW came online, when I said we were playing MW5 he said something about game rotation and I said I didn’t care and then he logged off. I don’t feel bad about it. I really wanted to play MW5 and tonight did not feel like catering to passive-aggressive behavior.
