- Oops, forgot to cancel my Audible.ca account. It supposed to renew today and when I click cancel subscription it goes to an error page (but not displaying an error so it's mostly blank content). Guess I'll do another month and try to cancel next week.

- DDO: We finished Myth Drannor. CSr's alt is at 4700 favor so would like to get him to 5k before reincarnation.

- DDO. We did like five quests at R1/R2 so it was running through quests. Gives my solo alt some XP to catch up to my solo main.

- Renewing my SSL cert through certbot. Was giving me failure for "NXDOMAIN looking up A for www2.tgd-inc.com". I ended up changing the DNS record from CNAME back to A, run certbot, then change the record back. Doing some searches, certbot should have handled going through CNAME though perhaps a weird DNS error somewhere.
- Always forget GoFundMe is a bit dumb about PayPal in that if you choose that as payment it takes the funds from (I assume) the last PayPal funding source. One of the reasons I like PayPal is that I get to choose funding source at time of payment so GoFundMe's setup defeats that.

- Rather warm today. High of 95 degrees and still 80 at 2030. Tomorrow's high will be 80 then cooling off the rest of the week. Visiting parents this weekend and Elk Grove will be in the low 80's.

- I had a thought that maybe my AMEX HYSA supports international wire transfers, but apparently not for consumer accounts.

- Flex Friday winner would like to be paid via Airtm which I had never heard of. It seems to be catered to users living in countries where the currency can suffer high inflation. Funds are kept in USDT (stable coin) and at time of payout your USDT is converted to local currency (using a network so it's not like Airtm itself is setting conversion prices). But I also looked at reviews and a lot of people complain with problems getting money out (which does seem to be a theme with crypto funds -- the nature of wildly fluctuating prices means sometimes an exchange has to halt trading to prevent serious losses). Anyway signing up requires verifying your ID and I'd rather not just to use it once.
- I was also looking to send an ACH since Airtm gives each user a virtual ACH (for freelancers to get paid). But sending ACH from my bank requires a business account and verification. I suspect that's normal.
