technical difficulties
Aug. 19th, 2022 11:43 pmWeight was down, BO was normal, and BG was on the high side of nominal.
Something happened to the soda bread - it tasted sour and nasty yesterday and today, so I just pitched the rest of it. No idea what went wrong with it, though I suppose it's possible it might have gotten moldy. Or the raisins were spoiled. I'll wait until next week to get "fresh" raisins and try again.
Heard back from a sales rep at the Plaza who seemed very interested but mentioned that the last weekend of September was bad because there's something going on at the Market Center and I guess they have stuff going on at the Plaza in connection with that. Or the rooms are in demand; guess I'll find out when I talk to her on Monday.
Went out to deposit checks to the N3F account (and also get the account # since the paperwork is buried somewhere), went to Family Dollar for Barbasol razors, Lance crackers, and random drink mixes. They had a couple of sugar-free Sonic flavors that only had 5 calories a serving, so I picked those up; the Ocean Water was pretty good but not salty as I expected. Unfortunately my CCCU chip wouldn't work so I had to use PFCU; later when I stopped at the Raley's for tea & sausages the CCCU card didn't work there either, so I had to put it on the credit card. Called CCCU and arranged for them to send me a new debit card.
Speaking of the N3F, I started setting up the CafePress shop but ran into a problem with the payment end of it. Will have to call them on Monday.
Blackwasp flipped the hair salon portal around noon; I flipped and flagged it after I was done at Raley's; the missing AU were restored by going to the tourist info portal and throwing new links and fields. Much later in the evening (after I was done with dinner & blogging) I went out, put a couple of gallons in the Kia, flipped and flagged the Mining Pick, which Sundorn had flipped, trashed the Bass Building, and then drove out to the airport to farm some keys and throw more fields. The lost portals brought the checkpoint score down to 1-25, but the zone score is 445-45, and I expect the next checkpoint will look a lot better.
Thanks to r/HOI4 I now know how to tap the Dutch East Indies' manpower, so Holland is full of colonial divisions, fortifications, radar stations, and I am making decent progress down the path to unifying Benelux, after which I can properly staff my growing Navy and put some pilots in my planes. Assuming the Brits don't come after me again.
Split my two games against the Angels: Marichal took the first game but Coleman couldn't keep the Angels off the bases in the second. So I'm 2-2 for the week, which beats the hell out of last week when I was 1-5.
