New roof went on today. Lots o’ bangin’.

Finally got around to catching up on some podcasts. I listen to these while doing yardwork. Noise cancelling headphones are a must when mowing. Listened to “Don’t Listen to Us” and the “Sketchnote Army” today. Didn’t quite finish the episode with @rohdesign and @patrickrhone.

Ann was discharged today. She’s doing pretty darn well. Some pain, but she’s gaining mobility every day.

I almost just got scammed hard: a cautionary tale. Whew. Close one for Mr. Sasser. Thanks to Cabel for the warning.

I name hosts on my network after cities. But I’m seriously considering naming them after PG Wodehouse characters. Fink-Nottle has a nice ring don’t you think?

This. So much this. Everything you know about obesity is wrong.

So it looks like the surgery went well. Ann will have her back in much better shape. Spinal fusion takes about a year to heal completely so no bungee jumping for a while.

Up early. Surgery day for Ann.

To Sleep, Perchance to Dream

Not happening, sigh.

Go ahead. Make my day.

Micro Monday? Why, @jack, of course. ‘nuff said.

Oh. That decision about not getting the iPhone Xs Max? Reconsidered. Delivery next week? We’ll see.

The watch is still on hold and will be for some time.

Back at the gym for the first time in two weeks. We had a vacation interrupt. Now I have to get back to pre-vacation shape and then some. It never ends.

Ann and I just had a minor disagreement about who it was that screwed up and bought the wrong trash bags. “I did.” “No, I’m sure it was me.” Maybe this is why we’ve been married for over 40 years.

Hit Medicare age. Transitioning all the extra insurance bits takes time and patience. I might have actually finished that today.

Decided against a new iPhone and Apple Watch for now. When it happens it will be phone first, watch later. Happy with the series 3. Reasonably happy still with the 7 plus.

Besides, I have to buy a new roof for my house.

So, if I say something about this iPhone X s, I get a pin of some sort. :) It’s about time to upgrade. So, maybe. We’ll see.

Bee on echinacea. Glensheen.

Ann and I had lunch today in the magnificent dining room at Naniboujou Lodge on Minnesota’s North Shore. The designs and colors were used by the Cree Indians. You can find some history here.

Most folks following me are probably also following @cheri, but she’s my Micro Monday pick for those who aren’t @cheri-aware yet.
