• Gloomhaven -CSr. Turns out Beast Tyrant (which we’ve never played before) causes our game to lock up — after choosing cards and then starting the turn it shows initiatives at the top but not the monster initiative cards. It’s not locked up as you can move around the board and examine figures but after a few minutes it still didn’t show initiative cards. We tried it a couple of times (each of us hosted once) and tried it with a simpler scenario (the one we were playing had like a dozen figures at start).

• DDO. Playing Saltmarsh on R1 with lvl 6 characters and it’s a bit tough. I should play older lvl 3 quests as they tend to be scaled for PCs with less cool equipment.

• Vortex came by this morning to take a look at our front door. We want it to not have a mode where it can be locked open but instead door closer will always try to close door. Tech said that is not a setting and instead requires a new door closer, but we just replaced this one a few weeks ago. They’ll send us a quote and I guess we can discuss in next HOA meeting. Issue is that often (usually carelessly) leave the door locked open which then becomes a security concern.

Sleep 0100 to 0700 (6 hours)

• Vortex work summary emailed to me. I guess since they didn’t actually do anything they had to do something so the techs oiled the door closer and I guess we’ll get charged for that. Also their estimate came in for a new door closer, it’s $1300

Sleep 2330 to 0100, 0630 to 1245 (7-3/4 hours)

• RapidWeaver Classic crashes after global search results populate. Maybe that’s why it crashed earlier this week though I didn’t notice what I was doing. For now I can use BBEdit for global searches.

• Conference call with Stifel where we keep our HOA reserve funds. This is the other advisor linked to our account and he was a bit more explicit that it wasn’t convenient for Stifel to keep us around since we only buy CDs. And this time Marcyl on the call so she also convinced (before when she talked to the first advisor he either didn’t indicate that or she missed it). So now we need to look at where we should park our reserve funds.

Sleep 0030 to 1000 (9-1/2 hours)

• MW5 with DS hosting. We did four or five scenarios — they run quickly, about 10 minutes each, with another 10m or so doing upkeep and deciding what to do next.
