Sleep 0100 to 0845 (7-3/4 hours)

• Ex-WCBS Lunch at Harborview Restaurant where we’ve gone the last few times. We did have more people possibly showing up but then Greg W was a bit too ill (apparently his health is bad and he’s in a wheelchair) and a couple of others had to back out. Sort of the usual four with Jesse, Lonnie, Peter and myself. Lonnie and his wife went on a 111-day cruise around the world and he would not recommend as it got boring.
• Tonight we played DDO. For now each weekend we’ll do one night of DDO and one night of a different game.

Sleep (don’t remember probably about 0700 to 1300)

• We are having an election in November just for Proposition 50 which will do legislative (instead of independent) mid-census (redistricting is done after every census) redistricting to win more Democratic Party representatives in the House of Representatives. This is to counteract Texas doing mid-census redistricting to do the same for Republican Party. I guess most telling is I’ve seen lots of ads anti Prop 50 and I’m rather leery when he political money is all on one side.

Sleep 0345 to 1200 (8-1/4 hours)

• Realized that with my MBP M4 I can play two DDO instances fairly well — with my old MBP Intel the second instance running would make the first instance somewhat laggy. Reincarnated my alt character and will play with two characters at R1 and kind of depend on my main having three allies to carry him on quests.

Sleep 0530 to 1200, 1930 to 2030 (7-1/2 hours)

• Did my OS upgrades: macOS 26.0.1, iOS 26.0.1 and my old iPad has a 16.x upgrade. I’m indifferent about Liquid Glass. I suspect it looks better with a high density display. I use an external cheap monitor and although my iPhone SE3 is Retina it’s a small screen.

Sleep 0630 to 1030 (4 hours)

• C3+S dinner. Got delivery from La Petite Camille. CSr and I talked about the various BattleTech systems. MechWarrior Destiny RPG has a fairly cut-down version of BT but you still have 1/4-sized Mech sheets. There’s also a good fan mod that adds a few things to Destiny (e.g. rear armor).

Sleep 0015 to 0215, 0700 to 1215 (7-1/4 hours)

• After a couple of days with iOS 26 I change my mind and Liquid Glass looks nice on my iPhone SE3. I changed the background to Earth closeup which I think works better with the Liquid Glass app folders.

Sleep 0615 to 1230 (6-1/4 hours)

• DDO tonight since CSr is camping tomorrow. We did a couple of the City of Portals arc at R3.
