So... another really good day following another crappy night's sleep, that was today. Sylvia and I both sad a good day working with a KofC 4th Degree Fallout, and followed that with me taking her out to a big lunch at a favorite restaurant.
Working with the photos she took and sent me I found, at no surprise to me at all, that it was better working with them on my Linux machine rather than on my Chromebook.
Hoping for as better night's sleep tonight I think I'll double dose on the melatonin. Let's see how that'll work.

Arthritis is bothering my right hand and elbow today. Hope it's better tomorrow. I'm scheduled to do some very public Knights of Columbus Honor Guard work tomorrow and if I feel like this, ... sword handling will be a scary proposition.

Thursday night football: I'm trying to follow the pregame broadcast over Sirius XM, but the darned station keeps buffering out. Have to press the “ok” button on the remote every minute or so. Hopefully they'll have this worked out when the game starts. If not I'll have to watch the TV coverage, and I REALLY don't want to do that.

Live is so much easier now that I've got a full-time Linux machine with enough muscle and speed to get things done. Two software packages I dl'd and installed today are making my document creation so much easier and faster than what I was able to do on the Chromebook that's been my only machine for many months. Scribus and PDFArranger are lifeavers!

Labor Day Monday ends well here. Pulling back from some of the political social platforms was a wise move. Pairings for new chess tourneys in which I'm registered will be announced soon and my already substantial game load will get much larger. It already takes me a solid hour each day to work through the games I have in progress. I can see my daily chess-time easily ballooning up to two hours per day within the next few weeks.

Having a lazy Sunday. Napped a bit while listening to the radio call of this afternoon's Rangers game, hurried through the day's CC games making some seriously bone-headed moves along the way, and find myself now listening to the radio call of a 500-lap NASCAR Cup Series Race.
Most active parts of this weekend so far in the Roscoe-verse were: yesterday's 5:00 PM Mass where I lectored, served as an usher, and served as one of the guys who brought the gifts forward. (If you're Catholic you know what that all means); and this morning's 10:00 AM Mass where I prayed a public Rosary, walked in procession with my KofC Council, and was one of the guys who brought the gifts forward.

Saturday starts quietly and well. Continued tweaking of the new computer is still underway, and probably always will be, that's just how it works. Expecting several deliveries from Amazon today. College football will be playing in the background as I move through the day's chores. I'm scheduled to lector at 5:00 Mass this evening. And, since it's Saturday, there will be Svengoolie tonight.

So I'm ditching the Telegram channel to which I've been sort of micro-blogging for, heck, a long time. And I'm firing this critter up again. It feels like a better, more honest fit.

This afternoon will be for yard work. Weather permitting, of course.
