I did nothing constructive today. LOL.
I don't like to dig my phone out to see the time either. Most of the time if I'm around my brother I'll just say "¿Qué hora es?" and get him to check his phone. I pissed off some dude in a store one day. He'd been ranting about how people in this country need to speak English. So I turned to my brother and asked that. He answered me in Spanish and the dude was glaring at us.
Something on the USB ports on my computer caused a power surge. Made my mouse and wireless network adapter stop working. I plugged in my little monitor stand and hooked stuff to it to get some of it working. Had to reboot to get rid of an IP issue for my internet. Going in to command prompt and doing ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew wasn't working.
Friend's gf called right when Mom and I were eating. Mom told her we were trying to eat but she didn't get the hint. She kept talking and asked if we had a knee brace or something. Mom told her "no" and she kept asking like it was going to change. Mom finally said she wanted to get off the phone and eat so the girl said "Ok". She's not a smart one and she wasn't raised to have good manners.
Meanwhile, PCH came out with the PCH+ app that has more mini games. I've been playing with them. It has more strategy than most of the random stuff on original pch.

I got about 1800 sq ft of LVP in an empty house this week. 9” x 60” LVP planks sure do lay quick. So quick that I can make it to the pool by 3.

Randy, you must be exhausted 
My daughter speaks fluent Spanish. She worked in a turkey plant for several years, almost all of the others were Hispanic. I can only read it, and I had college and high school Spanish.
My father spoke Spanish fluently and could even discern different accents-- it was part of his job to know. One day we were in HomeDepot (after he retired) and he heard some guys speaking Spanish. He said something to them in Spanish, they answered then looked at him and were surprised. He asked them if they were from a particular town/area near Guatemala and they were shocked. They said they were and they were very surprised that someone in redneckville spoke Spanish so well. (Although, just to screw with some of his friends he used to speak it with an Italian accent when he was first learning). He also spoke Thai and some bahasa Indonesian.
My mother and brother took Spanish in high school. I learned a little French in elementary school and didn't get to take a language in high school (due to moving so much) but I took Japanese in college (they refused to teach Spanish at that college bc they were still bitter about the "colonialization" of the island in the 1500s).
I had to go to the store to pick up mom's RX. Good thing I didn't try to go yesterday because apparently the pharmacy was shut down then. Lady in front of me in line told me how her grandson got Covid and his parents still sent him to school when he was feeling sick, said he was worse the next day and sent home with a high fever. Got tested and had Covid and was now in quarantine. Friend of ours who works there said too many people working in the pharmacy got Covid for it to be open yesterday and that the deli is shut down indefinitely because all the deli workers have Covid. They apparently wanted him to come fill in other people's shifts bc they were out with Covid. The store has a mandatory mask policy but they can't enforce it. They had some customers who refused to wear masks and refused to leave. Got up in employee's faces & threatened them, but the cops refused to do anything. Cops here are refusing to wear masks & refusing to help w/ enforcement of store rules and refusing to take out trespassers even when they threaten employees.
My brother got offered a chef position at the casino. He asked what happened to the other chefs & they told him they all got Covid. He said "Hard pass".
On the upside, I got some Otter Pops (flavored ice things) that my mom loves. I also got some Epson salt for my brother to soak his toe so he can stop b***ing about not being able to find it (he left the old bag on the kitchen table and the cats clawed it open). He was griping about how messy the house was and how he can't ever find anything. I told him if he cleaned up some it wouldn't be so bad. LOL.

I republished my book on Kindle. I was bored.

I wish I had the ability to write a book. If I wrote a 50 page book, it would probably take me two years of weekends and nights editing and correcting everything that I put in it.
It wasn't that bad, Don. Once I got my layout figured out and the door casings fit, actually sped right along.Randy, you must be exhausted
So far I've finished all the PCH+ games for the day and am slowly working on the PCH games. Potential prize is a $200 gift card. I won't win it, but it's fun to play the little games.
Dentist called to remind me of tomorrow's appointment tomorrow. I went and brushed my teeth right after.
My friend said that the casino's clinic is claiming that his gf's doctor never sent the test results showing she was positive for Covid. I asked if they could be lying. He thought I meant that the doctor could be lying about a positive result, but I meant that the clinic might be lying about receiving the info. I said when she's out of quarantine she will have to go to the doctor and demand the records so she can take them to the clinic. However, he thinks the casino already fired her because of it. If it's because the doctor refused to send the test results, maybe she can sue them. But, they undo firings when they get new info sometimes so she might just need to bring the paperwork in as she can't get hired at Walmart- they require high school diploma or GED. Her adopted mom pulled her out of school in 8th grade & was supposed to home-school her but still hadn't finished when she was 19. It was a ploy to keep her dependent and at home since the adopted parents were collecting her social security (without her knowledge).
I found one of my saw attachments I thought I'd lost. I need to find a couple more tools and then go get the board I want to mount to my wall for my monitor mount and cut it to size. I need to span studs that are 32" apart (with one in the middle) but will cut the board to 36" so I can put screws in 2" in from the edges. I'm thinking of using sticky tape on the back of the board to help hold it in place before I screw it down. The mount arm isn't as long as I want it to be so I will need to build up where I want it to mount to bump it out further. I'll need to figure out what to put on it to keep cats from climbing on it though. I may also need to attach something to the back of my desk so I can fit my subwoofer behind my keyboard shelf.
This is the keyboard shelf (well, monitor stand) that I got
I put my keyboard under it so the cats can't sit on it and mess stuff up when I'm not using my computer. I think the subwoofer is too long to fit on top of it and it would make me have to raise my monitor even higher. I'm hoping it won't be too high already.
I saw they sell clip on desk extensions but they are expensive. I wish I could find just the clips and make my own.
But I would have it extend behind the desk (since it's a tiny desk). I'm also thinking of putting pool noodles on top of stuff in case my monitor mount gets knocked down and the monitor falls, I want it to hit something soft to reduce chance of damage.
Meanwhile, I really like one of the bard songs from ESO and am trying to learn it. Reminds me of Celtic songs a bit. Lyrics are kinda dumb but I like the tune.
I had it running in a loop last night to help me sleep.

Z, you can use some wall anchors, mollies, in between the studs for more support. Prolly a little more permanent than booger tape.
Talked to the boss last night and told him I was making good time on my job. He told me to pace myself which is code for next week is slow. No problem. It’s 11 and I’m taking my first lunch. Prolly take my second lunch bout 12:30. The warehouse guy is delivering my base today bout 1 so guess I’m leaving right after that. Suppose to be 106 today so I got another date with the pool this afternoon.
