Tuesday 7 June, abq

After a reasonable night's sleep,  we awaken early to play golf at Los Altos,  the old ones presumably,  with the Los Altos 9, a women's 9 hole group.   They were happy to let me play with my mom.

I shot a smooth 28, hit 7 greens and chipped in for my only birdie.   The greens had some slope and we're a bit quick in certain directions.   All balls break to the Rio Grand,  it seems.  Not my best putting day,  sadly.

I got some screws at the auto parts store and will see if I can mount the front license plate.   The challenge will be not drilling into a radiator hose and doing the mounting when it's 90 plus.   I think I'll wait for shade.

In NM,  if you get a fix it ticket,  you have to go to court.   Then they dismiss the ticket upon proof of fixing things,  but charge you court costs.   I've put this on the list of things to change when the revolution occurs.

Drinks with neighbors this evening and not much else for the rest of the day. 

I have some sore calves that suggested I was doing more things than driving and pounding in the odd tent stake.   I have no answer,  but might suggest minor dehydration.   Or this is left over from golf 3 days ago,  as the body doesn't heal as quickly,  but seems slower to take offense.

There was a major tragedy on Monday.   I didn't mention it then as I didn't want to ruin anyone's sleep.   I mentioned that I was listening to Lee Child's The Enemy,  somehow the last disk or two didn't make it to the car.   So I heard 9 of them and it was wrapping up nicely,  and I was left hanging.   Bummer -  something I'll have to attend to later.   But I like the book and would recommend it.   Perhaps stock Reached,  but set when he was in the army and some of the fall of the Berlin Wall plays out around it.  

I'm on to something else,  I forgot the name of it.   I may not stick it out as I have another Reacher book queued up.

The phone does some strange things.   The apps and Google seem to work one way one day and differently the next.   For the first time,  it offered to read me a text message.   Handy,  but unexpected.  

Some of the wake up features,  directed by voice,  seem to also be a bit buggy.   Anyone with thoughts on this are encouraged to comment.

Finally, the tires on the car are making some noise like something is off a bit,  so I have an appointment to check a few things on Thursday.  

Now,  it is siesta time!
