It's 25°F out, and the garage door opener guy is here at 0845. Pretty amazing.
Glitches on my 14" M3 MBP this morning. Maps refused to do any route planning, just spin the fiddle thing. Rebooted and it's working again. I'm running a beta version of Sequoia, so shit happens I guess.
I was trying to figure out how far south we want to go tomorrow. Looks like Fayetteville, NC.
Anyway, we're getting ready to head back to Florida, thinking about all the things we ought to do to button this place up for the winter.
We'll leave the heat on, naturally, but set the thermostat for something like 60°F, Maybe 55°. Should keep things from freezing and save some money. We're going to replace the batteries in the smoke detectors, because we don't know when the last time was they were replaced. Turn the hot water heater off.
I'm looking forward to getting back to Florida, if only because I'll be more comfortable at the computer there! I'm going to build a little "Murphy desk" for the bedroom here. At least I'll be able to set the desk height appropriately, and get a good chair. All the trim in this place is yellow pine, so I'll practice building it in my garage in Florida so I get it right when we get up here next summer. If I'm lucky, I may get it right the first time and just haul it up here when we come up. I'm not that lucky, usually.
Apart from having a climate controlled garage and an actual desk, I'm also looking forward to trying to get somewhat more fit. This is the best time of year for that sort of activity in Florida. You're less likely to suffer heat stroke.
But that's about the only attraction.
