Sleep a couple of hours
- Visiting mom and dad. Commuted there with CSr so he could set up their new PC.

- Costco Har Gow and Dad’s Jook (rice porridge) for brunch.
- Left at 1130 and got back about 1430.
- Checked Marvel Strike Force alliance and realized pretty much all the regulars left. Deleted the app. I went from level 35 to almost 100 and got about 15 characters to level 85.
- Tried to get Strange Adventures in Infinite Space running. The macOS Lion version just quits so it must be too old. The Windows 98 version I installed on CrossOver and it runs ok occasionally but usually keyboard/mouse is not working and it takes over all the displays.

- Monterra insert reminds me that current 30Y fixed rate home mortgage is 6.375% and even a 5/5 ARM is 5.625% Not as bad as the 1980’s.

Sleep 0330 to 1100 (7-1/2 hours)
- Apple App Store now on the web. Mostly useful to me in that before an app link would go to a page that immediately tries to redirect to App Store App so I tended to avoid posting those links. Now a link goes to a stable web page.
- BTW it’s weird that clicking on the link from Apple Notes goes to App Store app on my Mac rather than going to the web browser. Sometimes Apple tries to be a bit too clever with what they think you want instead of doing the obvious thing that I want.

Sleep 0145 to 1015 (8-1/2 hours)
- Library to get more books.
- Star Smog San Mateo for smog check.
- Trader Joe’s for snacks.
- Dinner at C3’s. Taishoken - Tokyo Classic Aburasoba.

Sleep 0430 to 1130 (7 hours)
- The rare Apple TV outage (you can check on Apple’s System Status page). It happened just as I stopped one video to start another so I thought it was a problem with my computer.

Sleep 0130 to 0715, 1200 to 1330 (7-1/4 hours)
- MechWarrior 5 with Dave S’s instance. In one missions we stuck around to kill more enemy forces for bonus payment and salvage. But pushed it a bit too far and got two of our Mechs destroyed. I died a few seconds before Dave W got into the pickup zone.
