rDay Forty-Three, Morgan Lake Revisited
Cold and windy. Another morning jaunt around Morgan Lake.
rDay Forty-Two, Some Things Go Well
Despite a dental repair that becomes undone in barely over a day, the once-defunct HTPC (home theatre PC) was revived with a little solder and a replacement SSD SATA cable by Gary, whiz fixer (you met him here). Earning him a well-deserved burger, fries and shake from the eatery down the street, which was occupied only by the Coke guy when I went there to pick up his order. Putting the revived HTPC to work, Nik and I watch a couple of Game of Thrones episodes. And Ivi called later on to tell us that she has completed her classes and assignments and does in fact expect to graduate on Saturday.
