Month: April 2022 (Page 2 of 4)

–Planted the basil and oregano. Fertilized lime and clementine.

–Walked to Bel Air for mayonnaise, cream cheese, dessert (got Pillsbury orange rolls!).

–Made reservations at the Marina Holiday Inn Express. BofA credit card declined online and over the phone; had to switch. An hour later, they sent me the “suspicious activity” message. Assholes.

–Got a haircut from Samantha at SuperCuts in El Dorado Hills (she moved).

–Got the SCUBA tank refilled at Fisheye Scuba in Granite Bay.

–Finally got vstat.com working right (including All-In-One WP Migration). The latter is a mystery, since even after the website worked the plug-in still didn’t, so I deleted it. It then reappeared, already installed, so I ran it. Quite the mystery. Also got bf@vstat email working after some tips from Hostinger’s techs. All good now.

–Took a shower.

–Cleaned up some trees in back.

–Made pizza for dinner.

–New hearing aid batteries around 8:30 AM.

–Migrating vstat.com from Namecheap ($5/month) to Hostinger ($2/month). Kinda scary.

–Left hearing aid went out around 8 PM.

–Bought a Cheburkov knife on eBay.

–Got decaf beans at Peet’s; ordered caf beans from Black Sails; got fruit and sundries from Smart & Final.

–Was going to get a haircut, learned Samantha has gone to El Dorado Hills. Later I guess.

–Took Grace for big shopping at Bel Air.

–Played with knives: big success. Used the heat gun and much cleverness to swap scales between Arctic Storm and Mars Valley. As a bonus, both knives are now well-centered. Even better, I swapped out the small scale screws (which had some damage) with the inside screws that hold the clip in place. Voila! Not even sure which one I want to sell now.

–FWIW, the iPhone has detected my hearing aids quickly and perfectly for a week or so. I dare not try going back to the Android. And, housing has completely cratered in Pacific Grove. 1 bed, 1 bath, under TWO MILLION yields four homes, none of them desirable. Holy crap…

–Got some gun bluing at Sportsman’s Warehouse. Forgot you can’t blue polished screws.

–Had a brief (15-20 minutes) power outage today.

–Got bagels at Noah’s.

–Downloaded and watched “Love and Monsters.” Fantastic movie. The scene with Mav1s and the sky jellies is one of the best 4-5 minutes in filmdom.
