After the swim, I went and bought a new stereo receiver at the strangely dark H.H. Greg [seriously, I could barely read the box label] and then went to Chipotle for dinner. \u00a0And the\u00a0burrito\u00a0was only &#8220;okay&#8221; &#8211; a far step down from the usual awesome.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, I set up the receiver and only had two set backs &#8211; which is pretty good for me since I&#8217;m not really a hardware guy. \u00a0 \u00a0The first was an HDMI cable &#8211; easily solved at Walmart. \u00a0The second was when I had the speakers wired up, then read the caution that I needed to change a setting prior to wiring up the system. (At least I read the instructions before I turned the power on &#8211; not bad for, you know, a guy.) But the instructions on how to do that were on the CD-rom, not the printed guide. So, I went upstairs to the computer, fired up the CD-rom and wrote down the steps. \u00a0Then back down to the stereo, undid the wiring, followed the steps, then redid the wiring. \u00a0I did the tone-test and it all worked. \u00a0 Which was kind of amazing.<\/p>\n<p>Still need to fine tune things a bit, but the PS3 works and that&#8217;s the important bit.<\/p>\n<p>Went out to dinner with a friend and then hung out with he and his dogs for bit. \u00a0(and that&#8217;s actual dogs, not the slang dawgs.) We shared music recommendations and funny videos on youtube &#8211; Russian Unicorn was the winner of the night.<\/p>\n<p>I also got a call from Jeff&#8217;s brother to check on me (he had read my blog about the Hep) and to see how I wanted to handle the inheritance. \u00a0I told him that I wasn&#8217;t comfortable with getting anything beyond what I had loaned to Jeff. \u00a0His sister called today to go over things again and we didn&#8217;t really make any progress &#8211; other than to suggest that she send the paperwork over to me so that I could talk to a lawyer. \u00a0She was slightly taken aback &#8211; which was weird, since she has suggested that to me before and has already been talking to her own lawyer. \u00a0I guess I&#8217;m a little concerned that everything is in my name, but I haven&#8217;t actually seen anything yet. \u00a0 We&#8217;ve got some time since we don&#8217;t have the death certificates yet.<\/p>\n<p>Had a pretty quiet day at work today &#8211; nice for a change of pace. \u00a0Time for me to get something to eat and maybe read a book. \u00a0Got a lot more than usual on my mind and the sudden cold weather has made me strangely\u00a0introspective.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got a call from my doctor&#8217;s office on Friday &#8211; I&#8217;m clear of Hepatitis E (the very rare one), but they still didn&#8217;t have the results of Hep A. \u00a0Which is disconcerting &#8211; that was the reason I went in the first place. \u00a0I&#8217;m hoping to finally get a clean bill of health soon, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_bluesky_dont_syndicate":"","_bluesky_syndication_accounts":"","_bluesky_syndication_text":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1082","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thunderofwade.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1082","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thunderofwade.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thunderofwade.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thunderofwade.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thunderofwade.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1082"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/thunderofwade.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1082\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1083,"href":"https:\/\/thunderofwade.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1082\/revisions\/1083"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thunderofwade.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1082"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thunderofwade.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1082"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thunderofwade.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1082"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
