Friday update-y thing
Dec. 4th, 2020 11:01 amDid the errands yesterday - with Thanksgiving being last week, I did errands early in the week, so we were getting low on the perishables that I buy every week. Different holes in the distribution system -- it's kind of like whack-a-mole in that there's always something not available. This week it was regular chocolate chips, house brand tortilla chips, frozen breakfasts, and sliced cheese.
The Christmas tree is set up in the corner of the living room. Who knows when we'll actually get the ornaments on it. J put it up with the cord nestled in the back, which makes it hard to turn the lights on and off. :( I have turned it a little ways, but I really should turn it farther the other direction so I can reach the switch more easily. then the tree will be a light source rather than a light sink. :)
The pond was frozen over for a couple of days early in the week - not frozen solid, but even the moving water didn't melt through the ice on Tuesday. Most of the ice is melted now, and J figures he'll probably take the pump out today while the edge is still unfrozen - overnight temperatures are supposed to drop, and ice will form on the edges. We got a few inches of snow on Monday, but it pretty much all melted by Thursday, except in the areas that get little sun, or where it drifted a bit deeper.
Another couple of hours on the phone with Apple Support - the thing that is supposed to work isn't, so there are engineers looking at the problem. We did screen shots and data logging and all that jazz. (There is a workaround. It's even fairly simple, if timeconsuming. But they tell me that I should be able to sync data from one ipad to another, and I can't.... So that's what they're working on.)
