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.
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.

Is that a Fitbit? I never knew they used batteries. It looks like steady sun/partially sun for the next week or so. I’m going to need to water my plants!

It’s a Garmin Vivofit 4. Batteries are one of its assets from my POV. Although working the tiny screws gets more difficult every time I take it apart. But they last a long time. It just counts steps, and has some step and time goals, tells the time, and can help locate a paired phone. No bio-stuff. I’ve had it since June 2023.
