First time in 2 months…

I wiped my computer Monday. All the previous times I did it, it seemed like there were issues that always crept up, and ultimately it would take my multiple tries. This time, it only took one attempt. But still it won’t be until well into next week that I’ll be done reinstalling everything….

Once again, if it ain’t broke then stop trying to fix it…

If you’re ubering Uni Teriyaki….

Day 2 of my weekend here. Did my Wally World run (normally I’d prefer delivery, but you can only get insulin in person). Came home and then decide to uber in. And I ubered Uni Teriyaki. Ate the gyoza right away, but I got full before I could tuck into the chicken and beef teriyaki. So it went into the fridge. Got up tonight, and threw it into the microwave. If you’re ubering Uni Teriyaki, it does ‘nuke’ very well.

And if you’re keeping score at home, Uni Teriyaki is a teriyaki place right by the PLU campus….

So one of my friends has a blog....

 First of all, it's my weekend once again. Went to bed early, and I got up early. Early enough to Uber in from the Mexican place right by my house. And then I realized I could pick it up myself and save the delivery fee and tip. So I went for the pick up option. 5 minutes later, before I could put my pants on, my phone beeped that the order was ready. But I still took my time getting dressed. The cooks at El Toro are very good at making sure everything is adequately cooked (to the point of Old Testament Style: served while the pillar of smoke rises to The Holy One). So I go, get my Mexican ate half of it right away, the other half went into the fridge).

So, on to the rest of my 'day' off. One of my friends on Facebook has started his own blog here. I highly recommend you go read it...

Thought about wiping my system completely this week, but if it ain't broke, and you're only going to end up back in the same configuration, then there's no point. I am however spending the next 18+ hours backing everything up to my external hard drive...

Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot, 2021 Late Edition…

Well, 2021 ended a couple of days ago. I was in the middle of the work week, so I couldn’t write this post on New Years’ Eve, as I am want to:

• Grandma Bryant died in January. Due to Covid, the Celebration of Life wasn’t until the Big Bryant Family Reunion on Christmas Eve. Which I didn’t go to (due to aforementioned Covid), but they set up a Google Meet call, so I could attend virutally. A couple of other cousins ‘remoted in’ as well. Got to use my really expensive web cam.
• My Tower’s power supply went, and I upgraded my hard drives, while I was replacing it as well.
• A few months later, I fried my motherboard, and I replaced the whole lot. I also had to replace my boot SSD. Basically a new computer.
• One of the hard drives I ‘upgraded’ turned out to be a dud.
• The Mrs. Fields closed. So, I guess I only have one job now.
• Got Covid. Recovered from same. Got vaccinated. And boosted. I highly recommend the vaccine. Covid is not something to be taken lightly.
• Got a job offer, and I had to pass on it.
• 5 pairs of shoes and counting.
• Added a second monitor.

Of course there was the January 6 insurrection, Betty White’s passing, Bob Dole’s passing, the Chauvin verdict (guilty), the Arbery verdict (guilty), Biden getting sworn in, Windows 11 coming out (stick with Windows 10 for now), Jon Madden’s passing, and whole other shit-load of stuff.2021 is behind us. On to 2022.
