Quieter Day

April 22, 2026

MORNING

I am not going to the Mariner’s game today. That will literally make it a quieter day. And it’s raining, at least in the morning, so I am planning to take care of some computer based stuff. If the weather clears this afternoon, as predicted, I will hopefully get myself out for a walk.

AFTERNOON

After dropping Carl and Kevin at the Light Rail I continued on to the neighborhood hardware store. My quarry was two small batteries for my step counter.

Ready for re-assembly

Putting the batteries in was easy. The real talent is getting the gasket (light blue on the top piece) in place and then screwing the 4 micro-screws in to hold it all in place. That’s a size 00 Phillips head screwdriver.

EVENING

I finally got through bills and receipts but it was too late to walk to the post office to mail the one being paid by snail mail.

After a dinner of leftovers I put together a marinade for flank steak to have tomorrow night.

And it’s time for bed.
