Nice Tuesday with the dogs

bill_schubertI had a nice Tuesday morning at the Ranch walking the dogs. Last night we had a pretty big thunderstorm but it was calm this morning and the dogs were happy with the quiet and morning sun.
Khaleesi agrees. We have developed the habit of sitting on a bench for a while before going back in. Here is what it looks like from the other direction.
I've been knocking off, or trying to, the links to USAA. I've got two more but can't do them alone. Dana is involved. One requires a drive to Georgetown for the social security office visit. The other requires her to be in camera range to verify who she is to redirect a payment from a legacy account her family had.
But I think those two are the last. Then it is just waiting until the federal paychecks drop into the new account which will likely not be until July.
So far, SoFi is a better bank. It is nimble on the Internet and I'm good with that. They did come up with a dumb answer to a question I had so I sent it back to them. I had opened a ticket to have them figure out why I could not edit the name of my external transfer banks so they were clear, something fairly important to me now I'm in a fight with USAA over the same thing. They closed the ticket saying that the problem existed as I was using a VPN for access and/or a business computer. I kicked that back with relish and with a demo of using my phone in T-Mobile mode to access their bank with the same results I'd already provided from my NON work NON VPN connection.
They have a problem with their site and will figure it out eventually. Meanwhile I'm a squeeky wheel.
And HBOMax is wonderful with the French Open. I've never had so much access to a tournament. It is so nice to be able to turn on my computer or TV any time and watch the best players in the world play on the most difficult surface (for most of them). I've watched several matches end to end and it has been wonderful. But it is nice to drop in and catch a set or so without feeling like I have to watch or miss out on the whole thing. Such luxury.
I'm off to have a sandwich now. I've had a hankering for Durkees Famous Sauce recently and, of course, they no longer carry it at HEB. Fortunately Amazon still has it. I grew up with Durkees and Kraft Sharp cheese on white bread watching Jon Gnagy on black and white.
