–More FedEx hassles. Seems like NO emails are going through to fedex.com at present. Update: the problem was with the vstat.com server, not FedEx. I’m now reverting everything back to wsf@comcast.net. What a pain.
–Smoke and haze were the worst I’ve ever seen today.
–Tossed the buggy bird seed.
–Spent a lot of time with FedEx trying to sort out customs issues. Got nowhere. Will start again tomorrow.
–Went to Home Depot for CO monitors, door closer, furniture sliders. Installed the CO monitors, which used the 7-year-old mounting plates just fine.
–No ride tomorrow: going to be hot and smoky.
–Added chlorine to the pool, bird seed to the feeder.
–Started cataloging knives. Swapped some Kono khii handles around after removing them via oven heat. Pretty slick.
–Went to Sunrise farmers market for tomatoes, grapes, jam, apples, pears, almonds.
–Took a shower.
–Took a 13.6 mile bike ride.
–Put a dome crystal on the Rolex 1680 (again).
–Made pizza for dinner.
–Had brunch at Friends with Benedicts in El Dorado Hills with Tom Elken. Good food, good time. Bought a banana cream pie at Safeway for dessert.
–Casio AMW320 watch came in. Replaced bezel insert and crystal, not without some trouble. Bezel was really tough to remove. Bezel friction ring was held in place by what looked like two screws. They turned, but did not unscrew. Now I have to find an instruction manual.
–Leica TL2 came in. Pretty darn slick.
–Meeting Tom Elken for breakfast tomorrow at Friends with Benedicts in El Dorado Hills.
–Replaced hearing aid batteries around 9 AM.
–Went to post office to mail Noah’s presents and track down the watch dial from Vietnam that’s been bouncing around West Sac. Turns out the machine (?) read the ZIP code wrong.
–Pool is still 79, as it has been for the past 5-6 days.
–Went to Devon’s Jewelers in Roseville Galleria and put my name in for a Rolex 36mm Oyster Perpetual in turquoise.
–Bought an unmolested 1968 Rolex Day-Date. Hope I can wear gold…
