🍥 the 10 th month

 🍥 and day 17.
in the ' boro it is / was sunny and pleasant. A cool wind is the defining factor

last night a ' window ' appeared on the phone. " critical low battery ".
thus, 5 days in and the thermostat reports a ' critical ' 
upshot:  called the Telco and 48 minutes later.  < well, it likely the batteries were old >

Telco, is sending new batteries b/c I used 4 of my own AA batteries

🎴 octoborous 16

 🎴.... I couldn't get back to sleep.....

thus up at 4:30 ..... a little coffee and English muffin

the curse of the aging .... what wakes us up or keeps us up

' boro weather. cool and sunny

my thoughts turn to winterizing the bass boat. We have a date and pray for good weather or at the very least warm

🛻 octoborus 15

 🛻 in retrospect
I was invited for a cottage weekend at the Q '.
The theme seems to be " how to eat the most '. I seem to fit in. Sad

Only the holiday weekends. 
Each person volunteers for an item. I do dishes. Yet. I reasoned that a little something extra was required, thus I gifted everyone w/ a coffee card from Tim s.

Say thanks. and do not add to the food menu

🕸 OC 14

 🕸 the TElco Blues. this is not a song
Ready.

Four days. well. mostly 4 days

Couldn't figure out how to access My Smart Home app
OK. I can get into the My Telus page.

THEN .... everything stops in re : Smart Home

Tried many different strategies.

Called in to Telus, Nice guy walks me thru the trouble shooting manual

AND 20 minutes into the search. I had to ask ' how many passwords for the two sites ? '

Answer: one. Yes, the same one for both sites E  ..... gad!
there I was re - inventing the wheel trying for distinct passwords

XXXXXXXXX Ooh !  Ouch Gad Dang  [ and other phrases too ! ]

weather has cooled. leaves tumble indiscriminately

Oct 13

 not from the ' boro.

Fishing is relaxing but fish not playing nice

The ETec has been faithful

however. A ... may have trouble shot the problem 

There could a parasitic electricity draw on the battery. The trick then is to disconnect the positive terminal when not using the motor

🦀 October 10

 🦀 feeling crabby cuz'

I've spent the day dealing w/ Telco s

the one that I am leaving : hours on hold and then listening to why Telco1 wants me to stay

sunny in the ' boro, windy but autumn glory

The upshot. Cheapest solution
.... I am going suspended for 6 months x $ 10 then in April + I pay $ 40 to cancel
all in $ 100 in fees for leaving early

Awake and typing. Sad, but true

🛞 OC # 1 in 2024

  🛞 " all my life s a circle ....

sunrise to sundown   .....

there s no straight lines make up my life  ...

and all my roads have bends ...

lets go round one more time  .... sing it Harry [ Harry Chapin ]

dull in the ' boro
well. we needed milk for cereal [ her not me ]. thus, $ 23 later - we have milk
and noodles and mayo and onions and turkey slices and Almond coffee milk

go figure. 

news. I cleared the cache or data history for YouTube. YouTube doesn't like this move.

B/c you start all over and YT doesn't pump out - trump news, recipes and bloopers and trump bloopers [ what I was getting til now ]

So what happens. I started fresh. I had no history. I typed in ' Morricone NNJO Califfa ' and hit Go

Right now. I get to hear a joyous celebration of two of Morricone s fab creations 
La Califfa [ from the Lady Caliph ] AND the love theme from Cinema Paradiso 
{ Also named, Perfumo di Limone and   Whispers in a Dream ]
