Watched the Olympics where the guy boxer beat the woman… Keeping women in their place, I guess.

![oldcdgr](//storage.forums.net/6447321/images/juvLHSbPyjgJlrDFxGym.gif) Went to open barn door, no dice, called door people, need new motor 1200$, it lasted 20 yrs, can’t complain, he manually flicked a spring and we got it open, he couldn’t get his ladder underneath as my old Toro was in the way, we tried pushing it, no go, told him watch started my new Toro behind it and pushed that sucker out the way. Oil field trash solved the problem.!

Under a heat advisory cause that is what Sunner brings every year until the next ice age shows up. Managed a completely do nothing day other than a deep clean of my feet and ordering more stuff for grand baby Scarlet. Scarlet now has seven teeth and is walking around getting into stuff driving my daughter nuts. Thays what linoleum lizards do best.

A big thunderstorm with torrential rain is moving through our area right now and we lost power a short while ago. I switched my wife's oxygen from the concentrator to one of our supply of bottles. Each bottle is good for 1.5 hours so we're good there. The utility company is very efficient here and I'm sure they're on the job dealing with the problem right now. Of course, our cat Lily is hiding somewhere because of the thunder!

The heat and humidity decided to stick around.

Typically when you forget something at the hotel, it can be hell getting it shipped back to you...providing it is not something that housekeeping does not want to keep. I had a $100 bullhide belt from the Beltman that I left at the hotel, and I had to email them a prepaid label...I would have been happy to pay an incidental charge. I left my phone in the lobby when I was scanning my expenses on the company phone, and the front desk got it. I asked them to turn it off, I am not sure if they know the requirements shipping lithium in the mail, asked them to turn the phone off...last thing I need is a ring tone or notification alerts to alert a postal employee.

Slept most of the day. The Chemo Therapy Fatigue Syndrome here. Even had a dream about not being able to keep my eyes open.
So, I went outside and hammered the concrete form stake I am attempting to get into the ground at a 45 degree angle. One of the wide and flat staked for making concrete forms. About three feet in length. I am trying to stake a tree away from an out building. A Siberian Elm. Hoping to get it to grow with a significant bend and avoid the roof overhang. The shape will be useful if I cut the tree down later. Striking a stake two feet above the ground is not easy for me. So, I take it slow.

Hang in there, John. I had the opposite problem. I forgot to go pick up my sleep medicine before the pharmacy closed last night, so I was up all night. Got out and mowed the grass during something they call "morning." I dunno. Seems weird to me. Then I took a nap. Further bulletins as events warrant.
ETA: And I did go pick up my medicine.

The wife called me on my way back from Vegas, her 4-month-old battery was dead and the AAA road service guy said it failed the load test, he could not get her car started. The guy recommended she tow it to Mazda to rule out her car having battery drain issues.
Nope, nope, I will be home in a few hours. Mazda would charge me a couple hundred bucks and sell me one of their batteries when mine was still under warranty.
The car was between my home and work and I touched the posts on the top, I am surprised the Positive post was not glowing red, it was like touching a soldering iron. Went home, got my tools and disconnected it, off to Costco and paid the $15.00 pro-rated fee and got another Interstate battery.
A Google search suggested that an overcharging alternator could kill the battery and give it a hot post, tested it..charging at 13.25V so good to go.
I suspect the battery just had an internal failure/short causing the resistance.
The climate in Arizona is pretty tough on batteries, they often fail before the warranty is up.

Hooray! The power's back on to the workshop. I reset the GFCI on the deck and it's okay now. But what's tripping the GFCI and why can I reset it after several days? My grandson came over and we checked the junction boxes for water tightness. We found one box that had telltale signs of water staining along the inside edge of the box. The culprit appears to be a warped gasket on the cover for that box allowing just enough moisture into the conduit to trip the GFCI. I'll get another cover for it, get a new gasket for the GFCI box cover, and a can of sealant. Hopefully, that'll take care it.

Watching the first 48 on the Crime 360 channel...I have seen several episodes where the fools decide to carry out killings in or near a Quiktrip...sucks for them, but Quiktrip has every angle imaginable covered, and the cameras are high-res and work very well at night.
They are a great store, always fast, efficient service...I walked into a QT restroom down in Tucson a year ago, and a street bum was washing his junk in the sink, I summoned an employee and it was like a tactical team sprang into action to take out the trash. I think that all of the employees are on two-way earbud communication.

I have not done much the last two days. Just too tired. I perk up by evening. I believe I start my last round of Chemo on Tuesday. Seeing the Oncologist this Friday. Hoping for the best possible outcome!

I was gonna say it sounds like something is getting wet and then holding moisture for a few days.

Sometimes they trip if there's a surge.

Last night the sound on the big computer sound went MIA so I messed with stuff for about a hour and went BT headphones. This morning it fixed itself when I turned it back on. who ever thought of putting sound with USB circuits needs a swift kick. Good luck John, it is almost over the chemo that is. Word to self do not commit crime at a Quiktrip without a good disguise. Peace and love, those that have should give.

Yes I could spend even more money for a PCIE sound card. But if you want the latest greatest processor and build your own desktop the mother boards your chances of buying Realtek ALC1220 sound chip are pretty high. But enough on that the wife just left to buy new phones so I can deal with that now. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 because the Motorola Razr are about three and a half years old are dyeing a horrible death. I just cant/wont do apple products so with Verizon it's a Samsung because they are dropping the Motorola line or a googley please spy on me phone. Modern day problems. My main concern is what she is bring back for dinner because only the Shadow Knows. Peace out and stuff.
