Final column

[Today’s run/walk: 3.2 miles]

For my run this morning I decided not to drive to Starkville but try myself out on Watson Road. It was a cool day too, and overcast, so I didn’t start until about 8. Once I got out of range of the home wifi, the podcast I was listening to seized up. I spent some time walking and wrestling with my phone. I eventually gave up and finished my run with just peace and quiet.

My wife went to the Verizon store yesterday and upgraded her i-phone to the next model. I think she told me she jumped from an 11 to a 15 (something like that. I’m an android guy). And it turns out that the set-up person at the Verizon store somehow put both of our numbers on the new phone. So my phone could no longer attach to the Verizon network. I found this out by calling support on the house phone and eventually talking to a guy who sorted it out and fixed it… probably. I say probably because now she is unable to make outbound calls from her new phone. We need to go back to the Verizon store tomorrow.

I am not a big fan of our Verizon store.


The weather was delightfully cool today. I spent most of the day finishing up the porch column project. The last column is now installed and the porch is cleared of tools and debris.

You can see the pile of dirt and old sod is down to about 20% of what it was. I got four wheelborrow loads distributed and seeded today. If the weather stays cool and dry, maybe I can finish that off this week.
