Sheltering in Place

[Greg]

Why do I even come here?

Mac and cheese......

[Drunk Monk]

The CHSA meeting went well. I’ve been nominated as a committee member for the Chinese Historical Society of America in SF Chinatown. It’s not a paid gig but it might open doors. It’s more karma work (as if I don’t volunteer enough already). But since it’s volunteer, I can easily bail if it gets tire- or cumbersome.

Nevertheless I’m excited for the opportunity. I met with 6 board members on zoom and we hit it off well. Turns out the executive director is a Kung Fu guy - a student of Doc Fai Wong. I am good friends with two of his senior brothers and he’s a long time fan of the mag, plus he even competed at TCEC. Two of the other members are fencer parents who bought gear at AFS. The maestro can probably guess the rest - they learned from the always gracious Connie Yu. She is an emeritus member. 

So it’s looking good for me to get confirmed. The upcoming exhibit is focused on Bruce Lee. https://chsa.org

507: Thurs triple telemeets plus I’ll be building my desk extension for my new BIG Mac which UPS tells me will arrive this afternoon. So excited! Then Kung Fu.

508: learning & formatting my new axe- lots of data to transfer.

You might consider an external drive - now you can get a terabyte for $50 - although all the new Apple machines need adapters to connect, and the adapters seem so expensive for what they are.

[Drunk Monk]

I also know have a business dropbox account via YMAA, plus cloud access. While a hard drive would be useful, I’m bouncing between several puters and I’m trying to figure the best way to store data that I’m actively working upon. . 

509: Kung Fu, groceries & water (maybe), dog foot bath (maybe).

510: Sundays are now workdays for me. Stacy has clients which gives me the bungalow. I’ve got my usual tasks for YMAA, plus sorting medical which is a pain, and a review to chip out for KFM. Still sorting my office nook with the new hardware, and my laptop camera is on the fritz so I must get that sorted. Beyond that it’s Sunday chores and maybe that dog foot bath...

[Drunk Monk]

511: Mondays, amirite? Still gotta sort health insurance. Fixed the camera - just needed an update and reboot. 

Maybe that dog foot bath too.

512: I must head over to scale early today so I can take a telemeeting there, then take my mom to the dentist immediately afterwards. The timing is a bit awkward. I could almost squeeze the commute over the hill in between my meeting and the appt, but it would be tight. Best to go early and not stress it.

[Drunk Monk]

513: My usual telemeet first thing, then mom chores, then Tara and Bri come down for lunch to visit my mom and see if there’s stuff they can have for their apt - my mom has a kitchen packed with utensils she doesn’t use, plus there’s some furniture perhaps. 

Then home.

[King Bob]

Probably some weapons and martial arts books laying around there too.

Probably some weapons and martial arts books laying around there too.

omg - stacks & piles of 'em...

514: Thursday is my new Monday. Stacy took Yuki to SF to walk Bottles (Bri's dog & Yukz BFF) in GGP. So things will be quiet here and I can focus more than usual. KF tonight plus sorting out our medical. The new offer isn't as good as Cobra, but that runs out soon. Looks like I'll have to change providers, which I'm not that happy about.

[Drunk Monk]

515: Happy Friday the 13th. 

Today's task is to watch a DVD and review it.

[Greg]

A DVD? Seriously? Will it self destruct when you are done viewing it?

[Drunk Monk]

If only. YMAA makes $$$ on DVDs. A staggering amount. It pays for my new Mac. We do streaming too, but it’s still more about the DVDs. It’s had to fathom since that market totally ranked with Tiger Claw.

516: Kung Fu and catch up. Still grappling with my medical coverage.
