Yesterday was a pretty good day even though it didn’t go exactly as I thought it would. My FedEx delivery got pushed to later in the afternoon. That meant that I was stuck for the majority of the day sitting on the couch watching for FedEx to pull up and working on a laptop. Not my ideal work day but the cats loved it! I got pretty sleepy but didn’t dare doze off because if I missed the FedEx guy I’d be super upset.
Managed to find some guy on You Tube who takes tours of cities. He made a couple videos on Chicago which I watched and found very interesting. There was another one on Milwaukee that I saw and there is plenty of interesting information. Kind of felt like I was with an old friend and he was educating me.
Installed those new lights I got on Prime Day in the garage and damn they are super bright for being LED’s. It looks like daylight in my garage and I am quite impressed. They should last around 5 years according to the literature that came with them but who knows if that will actually happen. Got my document holder setup and it works just like I wanted. Powered up the backup hard drive and all my files are there safe and sound.
Now for the bad news looks like my new hard drive might not be here tomorrow. That’s what Amazon’s site is showing as of this morning. I think it might have something to do with the Global Computer Outage that was caused by Crowdstrike. Who knew that one company could cripple so much? Technology has come a long way and we are super dependent on it. When it works life is good. When it fails well it’s not so good. There was minimal impact where I work, just Microsoft Cloud stuff that wasn’t working. Our email is still on premises but that is transitioning. The Cloud isn’t such a good idea but I know it’s all the rage and the future where companies and services are headed.
I started listening to Whoopi Goldberg’s latest book via audio books on Spotify. I pay extra for that so might as well use the benefit. I love listening to her talk and it feels like she’s in the room with me and were friends and I am listening to a story. It’s pretty good so far I am at Chapter 5.
I know this is a couple days old information but I just found out this morning that Caleb Harris the missing TX College Students body was found. Very sad but I thought all along that he was dead. I hate it when I am right in situations like this. It looks like there could be fowl play involved or maybe he just happened to trip, drop his phone and fall into an open man hole. There are so many questions and I don’t know that there will ever be any answers.
Speaking of Caleb, I might as well touch on Riley Strain. Looks like he was very drunk and a high, this appears to be a tragic accident at the moment. That’s what the conclusion is from Nashville Police & Government. Who knows what the independent (2nd) autopsy and investigation that the family had done will turn up. I’d love to know how many days he was in the water. It also looks like from some bar footage that has since been released that Riley wasn’t wearing a belt which might explain how his pants came off so easy but I don’t know if cowboy boots would come off that easy. I’ve never worn them. There are many questions here and I think his family is fighting for answers and hopefully they will get them.
I’ve gotten my haircut this morning. Rudy woke me at 6a and I was not happy about it. I still had a couple more hours to sleep. That means once I got home I went back to bed. Been lounging all day and I am about to get dressed and head out for some food. Thinking about going back to the Mexican place I was at last Saturday. It was just that good!
Got the bills that arrived today paid and just trying to enjoy what is left of my quiet weekend as I prepare to go on-call come Monday. Not looking forward to it but hopefully things won’t be too horrific, fingers crossed.
Hope your having a great Saturday! Take care.
