–Took Grace shopping at the Folsom Safeway.
–Took a 17.3 mile ride on the e-bike. Wanted to do a loop around Lake Natoma, but ended up in Folsom, so just turned around and came back.
Month: June 2023 (Page 3 of 3)
–Walked to UPS to pick up McGizmo flashlight. Nice light.
–Spent much of the day working on the two Reaver flashlights. Turns out, after weeks of frustration, that the battery in one was non-rechargeable and (presumably) weak, so any thing I did with swapping drivers and such had no effect. Finally got both lights programmed–one with 5 levels, one with four–and toggled memory off. Finally. Will send one off to Ted Rooney in a bit for anodizing.
–Heard from Doris Fredericks in Morgan Hill. Dave died of breakthrough COVID in Canada after three weeks in intensive care in 2021. CRAP! I DO NOT understand how/why I let that friendship lapse. What a moron.
–Barbecued some Costco Polish for dinner, with Thao squash, Whole Foods potato salad, and Bel Air corn (finally it’s good).
–Bought Eargo 7 hearing aids on eBay for $1,400. Lotta funny business on eBay with Eargos. Same seller has these up for $1,700, $1,600 auction, etc. PLUS, eBay did not charge tax. Because it’s a medical device? Doubtful.
–Took Grace to the Folsom lab for blood tests, then to Mimi’s for brunch. Mimi’s seems to be up on the trend of serving gargantuan amounts of food for really high prices. Bummer.
–Another Shamwari came in. Nice scales and action, but the blade has more scratches than most. Wish I could figure out a way to hide those better. This one came with a set of spare titanium scales that I can JUST make fit on the one with the crapped-out carbon scales. Will send the scales (and other stuff) to Ted Rooney for blasting/re-anodizing.
Made pizza with tomato and fresh basil for dinner. Decent.
–Went for a 10-mile bike on the ARP.
–Took Grace to the Curtis Fest craft fair. Not too exciting, but okay.
–Took a shower and shave.
–Went to the Sunrise farmers market. Slim pickin’s. Got clementines, pink lady apples, Thao squash. Then to Bel Air for bagels.
–Used a discount code for our first pizza from Milan (Coloma at Sunrise). Salty, but not bad at all.
–Drove to Rocklin Donuts (Yelp says best in the U.S.), stood in line for an hour, no more cinnamon rolls. Came back and had lunch at Jasper’s Giant Burgers.
–I been gaining weight: 209+ today.
–Took the Beemer to Davis Ranch. Slim pickin’s, just got some peaches. Stopped at Bel Air for rolls and potato salad.
—Reconciled most of my charging cords.
–Picked up the ozone generator at UPS. Stuck it in the trunk of the Beemer for 80 minutes. Car smelled of ozone afterwards. Put a little leather scent in it. Could be okay now; need some time in it.
–Polished out some scratches on the flat of a Shamwari using the Foredom clone.
