Heat
As my alarm want off this morning and I was thinking about pickleball the lightening storm hit. Rain for about an hour and the courts are wet until 11, so no PB today. As soon as the sun came out the temp soared. It says that it feels like 83 out but I took Zoe and Toby for a walk and we agreed it felt a lot worse.
So, an A/C day.
Dana is going to a luch with her buddies and I'm driving her. Nothing else I'm doing of import for it is fine. I'm glad she's getting out. She is making progress and is at the 'it doesn't hurt as much be shouldn't I be doing better?' phase. No. Not only did you replace a joint a month ago you broke a bone and had an infection. Your hip might hurt a bit for a while. Say, six or eight months. Get used to it. She got the message. I'll be repeating it every couple of weeks for a year.
My transition from USAA to SoFi is moving along. I got paid today from my pension and wrote another check to deposit. I don't want the accounts connected and am not really wanting to transfer anything to or from USAA. Fortunately I have old USAA checks and it is easy to write one and upload it to SoFi. In the midst of doing that I realized that I need SoFi checks. About two times a year someone wants a check for some reason or another. I looked on the SoFi app and, sure enough, it has a check order. I clicked the button and 25 checks are on their way. Should do me for years. No cost. I respect the low number of checks (you can order more in a day if you want) and love the zero cost. Meanwhile I've got everything but Social Security and Oil income moved over so I'm feeling good about it.
I had a stupid idea to help out with the technology committee in our community. It is volunteer so I can easily drop it whenever I want but since I'm retired they put me in charge. The first thing they want to do is get outside help fixing the tech stuff. I gather so far they have just piecemealed the work and depended on one off jobs to do things and volunteer labor to do the rest.
So they said "we need to get bids to get someone from the outside to do the tech". And they said the paid maintenance guy would ask for bids. I sent him a note asking what he was going to bid out, scope, SLA, ballpark cost, etc. He kind of said 'that's what you guys are supposed to figure out'. Meaning he had intended to approach some tech companies and say 'hey, how much to fix our tech?' without any definition or idea what the hell we were asking them to do. And this is the company that is managing the entire development.
So, being as how I'm in charge, I called a meeting. Got to have a meeting, right? So far one of five has responded and he did not read the subject line.
This might take a while.
