 Th 6/2/22- i3 Broadband Installation Today!/ Trimmed Beard

725am(2). 720pm-735pm (2).  

Up 540am: Partly sunny with temps to upper 70's.

Watched 'THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM' (Peacock-TV). For a bit more clarity I probably should have seen this one before 'THE BOURNE LEGACY' but the storyline is supposed to be somewhat muddled because Bourne and all of the other assets in the Blackbriar and Treadstone programs are confused about their origins and identities; with Matt Damon, Joan Allen, Julia Stiles, David Strathairn, Scott Glenn, Paddy Considine, and Albert Finney. This is probably my last movie on Peacock Premium... Good riddance. 

945am: PC is 'Off' and preparing for a walk on the treadmill. I want to get in the mileage before the visit from i3 Broadband at 1pm. 

 10am: FIVE MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND 1.5 SLANT and more of 'THE MINIONS OF MIDAS' (Netflix).

Trimmed my beard and took a couple of photos to document the longest beard of my life (so far).

12pm-245pm: i3 Broadband: Everything went super until we tried to hook the downstairs PC to the new router/modem.  The WiFi adapter was not able to provide the capacity to connect to the new system. A stocky black guy was showing a trainee (2 weeks on the job) the ropes. The black guy made the hole in the brick wall and they snaked the cable over the basement stairs and into the room. The router/modem will be downstairs. The upstairs PC, the phone, and the Chromebook connected with no problem, but they did everything but repaint the downstairs PC, but nada. They said that I would have to buy a more compatible Wifi adapter. OK.

Around 3pm I drove to Xfinity and turned in their router/modem but decided to wait and see how much data I would need before I changed my phone plan. The guy said that I could do this at any time through the app. I still owe about $200 on the phone but they will just keep that payment in place. 

Then I drove over to Maribis and got two 1/8ths: one Indica and one Sativa- $120.

Then I went to Best Buy and bought a Wifi adapter. This is the same brand as the router, Netgear, and I hope this will make the connection easier.  $180. When I got home I called i3 Broadband because the clerk at Best Buy said that I would need an ethernet cable to connect to the internet to activate new drivers. When I talked to the guy from i3 Broadband he said that this wouldn't be necessary and all I had to do was plug it in and the system should recognize the internet to enable the drivers to download. I'll try this tomorrow morning and if it works I won't need a tech to come back to the house.   

445pm: TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND 1.50 SLANT and more of LEX FRIDMAN on J.R.E. 

540pm: In the tub with 'LILY WHITE' and listening to FUSION playlist Amazon Unlimited.

Tonight it's a movie upstairs. At least the temps are in the low 70's. I clicked on Peacock-TV and I'm still getting it so I wonder if the people at Xfinity have hit the off switch- apparently not.  

Watched 'OUT OF SIGHT' (Amazon Prime).  A hapless yet charming bank robber and a sultry female fed try to take a break for some sexual healing. Directed by Steven Soderberg and based on a novel by Elmore Leonard. It's chock full of clever repartee and quirky characters and packed with star power; with George Clooney, Jennifer Lopez, Ving Rhames, Steve Zahn, Don Cheadle, Catherine Keener, Dennis Farina, Luis Guzman, and Albert Brooks.
