an Anachronism

joins the modern age

The story starts w/ the iPhone 4s b/c I wanted ' Siri '.
In fact, 2 4s phones one for each of us.
Hardly used Siri - well, the first 2 weeks
Before that we had $50 phones from Speakout the prepaid carrier < third party carrier that piggy backed off the Rogers signal >

Then came the Chromebook or full android Chrome OS unit. This step brought in the age of Bluetooth.
Then last year, the switch to Rogers Ignite brought wireless internet throughout the house.
Supposedly 1 Gb service at max. Actually, 400 Mb is about it if done wirelessly.
I purchased wireless, noise cancelling headphones which are a much more versatile option 
We haven't gone home security over the 'net b/c we don't data for our phones.
Well, wireless speakers are coming for Xmas. The speaker ( s ) is fully android and portable. I'm encouraged to take it to the beach etc. b/c it resists dust and water

BTW , its 3:30 A w/ coffee and typing
Couldn't get back to sleep
Hi, Paul Simon ' are you awake ? '

How to spell frustration "   moto g5 "
I'm talking to M while away. I was looking for the mechanic that the tire girl referred us to.
Then ' no sound '. Tried everything < except ..... >
I re - started
moved the Volume button up and down

Went on line
many pieces of advice
but bottom line
if you reset and still no sound your speaker is gone
you see there is sound through the earbuds

Finally, 3 h later
I slapped the phone near the bottom w/out the protective case on
Yes - sound
We used to get a slap near the bottom from mom - always worked back then
of course, it works now

Won't last but at least this time

the Truth, the Whole Truth

and then this blog

We come close, like in horseshoes or hand grenades

I'm using the big boy to type
thats the Dell Studio 19 in laptop

And its nice having the big screen
In fact, the reason that I mention this, is I just checked to see if the magnification was greater than 100 % b/c i was easy to read - looked extra big

The big boy is connected to the printer in the den that we use for an office - bills, correspondence etc
And you've heard about the printer woes via Windows and such

No scan feature for the Studio

The sun is bright and the day looks crisp
feels cool according to M who popped out to grab the paper

The day was a beut w/ cool winds and a little stiff there

The day slipped away.
and its night and bed

Slept in til 8 AM

in some households definitely a crime
here
not so

The guys popped by last night. Cards and Chinese food. I ordered the half - dish Cantonese chow mein.
Fed 7 guys
and ........  oops !
There is more , thats what more means 
more

Cold at 30 F b/c the week has been uniformly warm

Sun showed up and made the day

Job List
Clear gutters - preventative maintenance
Swept garage floor - a highly skilled task
                                  in fact, it seems I'm the only qualified guy

Went next door and failed to find why the bar lights won't go on
for D. 
Stored equipment not required for winter
this means that I'll need it next week

Hey, it took a good while

As well, I improved the hook attachment that lets me clean out the gutters along the back ( 2 stories back there ) from a step ladder on the porch c.f going up on the roof < sorry Carole King > you can sing up there but I'm not stepping out onto a steel roof

Coffee at 5 AM

leftover from yesterday

Yepper, couldn't sleep
What do you do ?
Blog

Temperatures will be plus today ( in Celsius speak ) or mid 30 s Fahrenheit

The story : I haven't bought boots for winter in so long - now I have 2 pair.
Above the ankle style for both. One are really mukluks or modern mukluks w/ a warranty for - 20 F.
The other as mentioned are sleeker and waterproof
I'm going to keep both.

We cancelled our downtown weekend. We chose to pick a day and even taking the taxi, the day excursion will be cheaper. And we figured that we couldn't count on the weather - and really we wanted to do outdoor stuff downtown.

The day slipped by b/c now its the next day and I can't tell you what happened

Alright, the game was here thus food was organized and the den set up
but - whoosh gone in one

and it is close to one now
problem - leftovers include chow mein for 10

I said that I wanted the half order b/c it woyld 6 - 7 people
we did feed 7
and now can feed 10 - 12 more
Let's see
chow mein - 6 different ways

Well , it will  freeze and be good
after all its half grease

Elizabeth Warren Threatens

just wanted to see what it looked like in print

The actual banner in the CBC news feed under business said ' Senator Warren a concern for East coast seafood industry '
I didn't read the article - why bother
same old , same old

The day will be alright. A mix of everything but tomorrow a chill sets in towards the evening.
Missing sun for most of the mid day
