1226 Sa
  % spoke too soon about the doxazosin, apparently
    The Crowne Plaza CD says no drinks after 8pm.  Good idea.
  % managed to launder my Samsung headset
    ... and the ear loop was broken, anyway.  Grump.
  * up 5ish; drugs, nose, teeth; coffee; C
  * leave by 6:30am:  YD to airport by 7:20
  * Ripped about a dozen CDs
  & ordered Dr. Seuss books, including "Wocket" and "You're Only Old Once"
  * reconstituted Harmony with fresh RAM, CD, and power supply
    doesn't boot, though.  Grump.
  % headset appears to be working now that it's dried out.  Needs charging.
    On the other hand, maybe not.
  * walk: twice around Rose Garden
  * B+N with Chaos + Selkit.  No luck on the Creole cookbook.
  * The smoked duck is 3.3 lbs.  At 20m/lb, that's 67m
  & Harmony is booting now.  WTF?  Maybe just an effect of sitting too long.
  : Carol Marsh visiting
  * copying Nova's root.
  . give the 500GB IDE drive to Kat
    * seems to be working fine in Tatooine.  Must be the enclosure. :(
    ~ track down the power supply for the adapter
    * pull off Nova's old root (1226, using Harmony) -> /vv/bak
    * reformat as ntfs
  * very sleepy.  Bed ~11. S=9444 (!)

The day started rather badly. Apparently I spoke too soon about the new med working on BPH. :-P And I discovered, when I went to put the laundry in the drier, that I'd managed to wash my Samsung headset. (It appears to be sort-of working after drying out and charging; we'll see.)

But I got the YD to the airport on time, ordered a couple of Dr. Seuss books that somehow eluded me over the years, had a visit from an old friend, and took a good walk around the Rose Garden in between. (9444 steps for the day! Best this week -- go me!)

And I managed to reconstitute Harmony, my old desktop system, to the point where it would at least boot and let me grab the root filesystem off Nova's old disk before reformatting it as NTFS for the Wolfling's external drive.

I was very sleepy in the evening; something about being awakened by the YD sometime around 5am. And two glasses of wine in the evening probably didn't hurt, either. On the whole not a bad day, I guess.
