Cool, but warming, and humid. Possibly getting cold tonight. Yesterday was just like Friday- other than being moist, it was a beautiful day. It’s a mild end to a mild year for us.
I arose late, somewhat sore and stiff, ate and did very little. I spent several hours working on a puzzle while W put Thompson’s Water Seal on the teak furniture. She sanded the top surfaces last visit. They look much better. Teak is pretty sturdy but it does benefit from maintenance.
I did manage some other very small tasks, and made dinner, so it was a pretty relaxed day.
We still haven’t decided if we’re headed home today, or tomorrow. I’ve got more small stuff I can do, and W wants to just do relaxing things and enjoy the place a bit. The only real reason to head home is D2’s plans and it might be easier to drop her where she wants to go on the way home tomorrow. (She wants to visit a friend who has a lakehouse on another sorta nearby lake.)
I’ve been pretty good about not thinking of all the things piling up on my lists. Mostly. Still, it niggles.
I have been taking notes about some stuff that needs to be bolstered here, or replaced. I let that slack off for a bit, but some basic stuff needs refinement. I really really need some secure storage here… and to sort out the networking.
But that’s for another day. Stack what you can, while you can. And stay frosty.

Sunday. Sunny, blue sky, snow on the ground, but not on the roads. Temperature in the sun a mite above freezing. A nice day to go for a long walk.
Have a good day!
USB-C dock capability and widespread third party comptibility has been the “killer app” for Apple since the laptops became disposable around a decade ago.
Apple also had Intel’s Lightning/Thunderbolt tech first but the potential of that beyond supporting multiple docked displays has never been fully explored by Cupertino for some reason.
If I wasn’t a Nazi about expiration dates on food items in the house, we would be overwhelmed in the kitchen/pantry area by the hoarding compulsions of the other members of my household.
Every trip to HMart or another Asian market usually results in five or six items coming home which will never be consumed, and every time I see the face of Bob on a Bob’s Red Mill product, I know it is something that I will eventually trash.
Bob is a complete b*stard IMHO, but his expiration dates are mercifully short.
What’s been really disturbing lately is that the offspring who have inherited the seemingly genetic compulsion from my inlaws keep tidy and clutter free living spaces away at school while regarding the house with a different standard for “clean”.
The hoarded item count is probably closer to one or two from the Asian market trips, but I’m currently looking at a big lot of cracker products from a Japanese market in California which got hauled home almost a year ago and have never even been looked at in that time.
I also know see a bag of similar product from the grand opening of Teso Life in Dallas which was nearly two years ago.
The running average isn’t good. Unfortunately, expiration dates on the Asian food aren’t obvious.
