Starting to Get a bit Peevish

Baked bread again.  Made rolls this time.  I am getting closer, but no there yet.  85% is still a solid B, but for important shit like baking one's daily bread, an A is preferable.  I am getting the texture right, now I just have to sort out baking times and hone the process.  Good progress.  

I had the homemade pastrami sampled by the youngest yesterday.  I appears to be a creditable first effort.  I am not taking his word at face value though, as men that age will eat anything.  He did do me the courtesy of dropping off a block of cheese and a dozen eggs and some flour, I am quite grateful.  

I did get out for walkies yesterday.  Even managed to go > 10,000 steps (around 4.5 miles) spread out over the day.  When I am cooped up at home, this will become critical to my sanity.  

Still working on the setup of the new system.  I remember now when I decided to abandon mac and go to windows, then abandon windows and go to linux and the annoyances at the time.  Since current circumstances (dead laptop and epidemic) have driven me back to windows, I have a non-existent learning curve (use it all the time at work) but the ancillary operations like file storage and mail still have some rough edges.  I also have had to work out my texting on the computer (pulse on linux, now messenger on windows)

Screed:

Look:  Here is the truth of the matter.  You can blame who you want, but this whole pandemic thing is just something that we have to deal with and will always have to deal with.  Everyone with a brain in their head knew something like this was going to happen.  All the preparation in the world wouldn't have made a significant difference in the outcome. 

We aren't in charge.

The planet has an agenda of it's own

Grow up.
