Day 49, 2023: Gone Catfishing

It’s Saturday night and what could be better than hanging out with the family and going catfishing.

It’s not what you think.

Today we salute one great human being, 39th President of the United States of America, James Earl Carter.

Thank you, President Carter for being a beacon for humanity.

ATLANTA (Feb. 18, 2023) — After a series of short hospital stays, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter today decided to spend his remaining time at home with his family and receive hospice care instead of additional medical intervention. He has the full support of his family and his medical team. The Carter family asks for privacy during this time and is grateful for the concern shown by his many admirers.

I did watch Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania last night. Overall, I feel vindicated for saying that most Movie Critics exist because they need to be ignored. I would definitely watch the movie again.

Today I visited some of my favorite cats. Biggie T. Cat is still recovering from the illness, and I won’t get into the details.

I’m working on an M2 MacBook Air today, testing some applications compatibility with macOS Ventura. I did not find any showstoppers.

Day 47, 2023: Appetite for Distraction

I finished work for the day much later than I usually do and I have an appetite for distraction. I decided to go to movies for some late night showing. Apparently there’s a new Marvel movie out tonight.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania officially opens on February 17, 2023. As always, I’m disregarding movie critics, amateurs and professionals alike.

Let’s see how it goes.

P.S. Critics are so pedantic!

Day 46, 2023: Going to the Car Wash

We’re about halfway into the first quarter of 2023. I had been avoiding the news for a few days and I’m sure something happened today; I’ll look it up later.

I went to fuel up my car and get my car washed. Gasoline price is still hovering around $4.50 – $5.00 USD per-gallon in my area. For some reasons, one of the major fuel station has much lower pricing than others. I paid $3.99 per gallon there.

Day 45, 2023: Happy Wiring Day

I ended up spending extra time at the office dropping a few Ethernet cables because some of the ports were no longer gigabit compliant.

I also found out the thermostat is acting up. I’d be replacing the thermostat soon.

Oh well… but we had “our day” early in the morning.

Day 43, 2023: Red Tinted iMac Screen

Today is the unofficially-a-Holiday-in-the-United-Stares-day. Some championships game and lots of commercials on TV to discuss. Who won? You can look it up on the Internet if you’re out of the loop. Lots of food and alcohol were consumed today in front of television screens. Some kind of “half-time” entertainment that is not really performed live was also talked about. Yeah, you can look it up on the internet.

Anyway, today I noticed an iMac with red tints around the screen edges. I believe it is a 2014 iMac, and I’ll correct it later, maybe.

I can sure find a used panel as a replacement, but this iMac is not in macOS Ventura compatibility list. Sooner than later, this iMac should be retired from connecting to the internet for safety reasons.

Day 42, 2023: New Basic Thermostat

Starting off the day with a few texts and phone calls on Saturday morning. I went to help a well known Photographer at his house today, working on Adobe Photoshop.

Then I went to visit friends of mine who happened to have issue with the thermostat. We went to hardware store and looked for a replacement thermostat. We considered getting one of this “smart thermostat” but eventually we settled with a regular one.

Thankfully we planned ahead and figured out which thermostats are compatible with the current system.

It took me about 20 minutes to replace the thermostat.
