It is Monday and it is cold!
Mar. 7th, 2022 10:26Spring will return in a few days but we're back in winter right now. The wind chill is freezing both in fahrenheit and celcius and has crept up all of one degree since early this morning. Not like I care too much as I don't have anywhere to be but Zoe is annoyed as we can't go on our walk. The temp is going up enough to be more comfortable but it is still going to be a couple of hours and she is not happy.
I'm enjoying Monday as another day off having recovered from planting the bushes at the Dog Ranch, digging up a 3" tree that Dana decided was dead or nearly so, and hauling a dozen bags of mulch to our back yard. It is a testament to my fitness that I feel fine after all that. It is a testament to my age that I was really, really sore on Saturday. My age has accelerated in the past year or so. Annoying.
Quick report on the Oculus. There is a lot of help on YouTube which is nice as the Oculus has very little. I've never seen a device that is so perfectly suited for a walkthrough to set it up and they have nearly zero. Fortunately YouTube has a bunch of people to help. I do a little bit at a time but keep running into road blocks of the money or sign up kind. There are a bunch of different companies that have their fingers in the software and they all require signup and/or money and it is a PIA to just use the damn thing for much of anything without spending a lot of time and dollars.
It is not a fail. It is a well made device. But when the very first thing I run into after buying it is a list of things to do all of which cost either $29 or $19 each it is pretty annoying.
The tech is pretty nice, though. I've enjoyed canoeing through the African veldt watching the elephants but could not figure out how to sign up for the skiing program to get some downhill in.
