Just a lazy day here, went to sleep too late, in fact fell asleep playing games on my tablet, work had run long, and my usual web surfing ran longer than normal, so this means I didn't get enough sleep, nor was it particularly good. Oh well, first day of my weekend, I'll make it up when I get to it, only need to grocery shop, mow the lawn, do the laundry and accounting. That last one I think I screwed up on last weekend, so overdue bills and stuff likely await.

So far today we've gone out for breakfast, since I didn't have any rice prepared, and didn't have any potatoes for a substitute side. Not like its the only thing I've run out of, somehow massively miscalculated things, so I ran short on lunch ingredients yesterday. Either way, grabbed breakfast, took care of groceries, then had fun filling tiny libraries in St Charles on the way home, 8 or so libraries, went through two dozen books.

Might nap, prolly have a pizza for a late dinner (sticking to traditional meal names/times here), might get laundry done. Stuff can just as easily wait until tomorrow, though I do have chiro in the morning. Might get some beads and rubber bands too, also might go buy a small used TV here, basically want something near the second desk for plugging in computers I'm tinkering with that I can also plug the stereo into, and if'n it has enough HDMI ports, use as a third monitor here.

Got the coffee maker I ordered, and itsโ€ฆ Meh. For those didn't see the post, I got a single serve coffee maker that isn't a Keurig. It can use Keurig pods, and technically reusable pods, though they fit as badly here as they do with a standard Keurig, but it also includes a reusable single serve filter. Quality is cheap, brand is non-existent, very reminiscent of a coffee maker you'd get in a hotel room, has auto shut off, but no brew limit, so you only want to put one cup of water in the tank at a time. Mom got me a new Keurig for my whelpday which I'm not sure what I'm going to do with, I mean the old one still works although it doesn't always close fully and sometimes stops brewing early, and the new one works even if'n its cheap (with coupon it only cost $22, what do you expect?), so I don't need a new Keurigโ€ฆ yet.

Oh, need to fully set up the newish computer, one of Vik's that I'm getting set up to use, gotta clean out Firefox before I connect it to my account so it doesn't cause chaos on my existing computers. Also prolly need to update it at this point. Guess I'll do that after updating this one, as it has kernel updates, so a reboot is required, so we might just leave it powered down, or we might reboot it. I suppose I do need to start cleaning out the computer here, right now I have two POS terminals, an iMac that I need to finish upgrades on, three Lenovo Thinkcentre thin clients, Vik's Macbook, and his Mac miniโ€ฆ I think that's all of them, and there's just one of me, so I should clean the collection out. Oh, and that's just the computers, there's an iPad or two, three Lenovo tablets, and iPhone or two, and lord knows how many Android phones here. If anyone needs some tech, let me know, if you need a new phone and are broke, there's a chance I can help with a chap (sub $100) replacement.

Maybe i'm mistaken, but aren't you supposed to tell people what's in the food in case they have allergies? Because i think something is missing here.

Weird Aldi pizza


I love pizza, I mean really love, as in I could live on pizza and coffee as my only foods, and I love trying new combos. Aldi is a great source for this, while they don't carry many pizzas standardly, they often have special buy pizzas, and those can get really interesting, like this one that I thought was just a BBQ chicken pizza with a fancy title.

So I toss it on the pizza stone, ready to cook it up for lunch, and... Is that corn chips on there?

Check the label, yep, it is. Well that's new, and actually not bad, adds an interesting crunch to the pizza and pairs well with BBQ chicken. I think this is one of my favorite pizzas, frozen or fresh, but unfortunately I have no idea who makes it, Mama Cozzi's is a house brand, they relabel the source brand, sometimes without even changing the packaging other than removing the original brand, and in this case, this is not something I've ever seen here in #STL .

@๐ŸŒด Seph ๐Ÿ’ญ ๐Ÿ‘พ Can confirm on his ability to live on pizza and coffee. ;)
Luckily, he caters to my inability to do so.
I like pizza, but nowhere near the extent he does. I am drinking more coffee now too, (still nowhere near his consumption).
MtnDew on the other hand. ;)









Today was a day


So, #today was a good day, first part was actually pretty great. Decent weather, 19/43ยฐF today, bit cold in รพe morn obviously, but considering รพat we went from 16/59 on Wed to 14/26 yesterday, definitely a much nicer day. Heck, yesterday I had to break out my old รžermal overalls from when I used to ride a scooter between Florissant and Maryland Heights, MO.

รže day started wiรพ a small run from the Dispatch app, $10.50 for 10 miles. Sure, a little light on pay, dollar a mile is my minimum after all, but it ended me on Dorsett down the street from Tony's, a donut shop where I like to grab a gyro, egg & cheese on an asiago bagel, so that's fine.

My main gig, Better Trucks, had delayed รพe start from 9 (realistically more often 9.30) to 10.30, so I swung by รพe credit union to take care of closing an account. On the way I noticed a CVS order on Roadie that looked pretty good, and surprisingly when I got out, not only was รพat one still รพere, but it was joined by anoรพer order on รพe way to it. Shockingly I got boรพ, $6.80 for one, $6.40 for รพe oรพer, and a mere 3 miles of driving. Yes please.

From รพere it was a quick trip home for a half hour of charging while trying to get two more email changes sorted out. After รพat, off to รพe usual gig, and a typical if'n slightly smaller package route, my night vision sucks these days, normal for my age, so I wanted to avoid being out much after dark.

I guess รพat brings up รพe car, my 2020 Chevy Bolt. Only real negatives are รพat it's an LT, so base model, lacking features like heated steering wheel, and heated seats, boรพ of which would likely help keep me warm without as much impact on รพe battery. Speaking of battery, since it's one of รพe battery fire years, it's in 80% jail, so my range is a bit more limited รพan normal. Still, despite รพat, it works fine for รพe job. Sure, gotta charge a bit extra, but รพat's just a winter รพing... Maybe summer too, we'll see, not sure how much AC drains รพe battery.
