Thursday was a beautiful day and yesterday it was cool and wet all day. The over night low was 49° but it has warmed into the mid fifties now. There is no rain in the forecast for today with a high of 70° predicted. It would be a super nice day except it is cool and very wet with 96% humidity.

That's when a Ring doorbell comes in handy,

Another way to check if the package was tampered with after delivered, they usually post a picture after it's delivered, you might be able to see if zooming in, when delivered, if the staples were there prior or after delivery, for kicks a grins

My wife heard the delivery taking place. She opened the front door and retrieved the package. The theft took place in transit and not at my residence. No matter when or where, it's a shame we live in such a world. I grew up in a house that was never locked. The autos were never locked. It wasn't that we were super trusting, theft was just not a thing back in the day in rural Kansas. My father always said that if a bandit came in our home, he would leave us a TV and a piece of jewelry for my mom.

I bought a couple of travel bags that will count as our personal item aboard upcoming flights, in addition to our carry-on luggage. We'll be in the Caribbean for a week, and plan to vacuum-seal our clothes and travel with carry-on only.

I considered bringing an old hearing aid thread back to life, but as tech has evolved, I thought I would leave the past in the past. Here is a link to the old thread that isn't completely without information:
Hearing Aids and Android
I bought my hearing aids in February of 2020. They have been a good tool through the years but they have had problems. I've had a few hardware problems and had the most recent problem repaired today. I had the right receiver fail and fortunately they had a replacement. The biggest problem I've had with my aids is they have only partially worked with Android after a rev upgrade in 2021. The aid manufacturer refused to address the problem and Android ignored it. Between the lack of solid communication between phone and hearing aids and the fact that they are pretty much at the end of their life expectancy, I have scheduled another hearing test and plan on getting some new aids. I will go through Costco for my test and aids again. They have treated me right and they have no incentive to sell products. Your hearing is their only concern.
My appointment isn't until next month. I'll know more about how the aid industry has evolved in the last five years and hopefully the products available are far more compatible with Android now. I hope to have some positive posts to share.
No matter how the industry has progressed, I strongly advocate having your hearing tested and investing in aids if you have a hearing deficit. Ignoring poor hearing is just as detrimental to a healthy and enjoyable existence as ignoring poor vision.

i am now considering getting the Sunday ticket on youtube.

Just had rostterie chicken from Sam's tonight, a later dinner for me..

We made a Costco run today. I bought a 100oz package of their 88% ground beef at $5.49 a pound. I divided it into 8 12+oz packages and vac sealed and put them in the freezer. I've found it's the perfect amount for the wife and I for a meal. The only other meat I bought I'll smoke Sunday. I came home with a rack of beef back ribs. I'm anxious to get them smoky. It's been way too long since I last had beef ribs.

She isn't returning the comforter. It was damaged. She just wants to get another one.

so what if she had issue with their customer service. if the comforter is damaged and is within their return policy, why would you not go in and demand another one? it is within the customer's right to return something that falls within their return policy. if she had an issue in the past from a certain store, just go into another one and do the return there.

if she does not want to do that then she is just s.o.l. she will have to buy another one. i do not know what more you expect for us to say here. the other option is to buy from a better retailer like Target. or you can buy from amazon. they have a really good return policy. never had any issues with them.

And so much more

Can you watch pron on it ???????
