Patrick and I walked to breakfast at Leadbetter's. It's his first time there. We each have a coffee and a breakfast sandwich with bacon. We share a ginger-molasses scone. All the food is delicious. The english muffins are tasty and not as oily-greasy as Model Bakery's. We ate at a table in the parklet. The service is friendly. I walked home. Patrick walked to his mom's and to run an errand. Followup with home warranty people about the plumber I have been trying to schedule for the past 11 days but can't get people to respond. Patrick returned. Troubleshot a macOS 27.2 problem on Patrick's laptop in which the window state of Messages failed to save when closing and reopening. For him when he closes it with the left panel visible and when he reopens it is no longer visible. Very annoying. I could not find an obvious solution. I can reproduce some of the behavior he sees on my MacBook Pro. Weeded Google contacts. Skipped lunch because I wasn't hungry. Vacuumed the lower hallway and the upper level. Troubleshot macOS 27 focused window occasionally moves around by itself. Found no solution. Dinner at home with Patrick: grilled cheese sandwiches on whole-grain sourdough with apple butter and a side of creamy tomato soup, hot water. After dinner, white wine. I processed dirty dishes and cleaned the kitchen. We watched YouTube then rewatched the remainder of Star Trek: Beyond on Paramount+ then part of Rory Scovel: Show Must Go On. Patrick went to bed. I processed dirty dishes and cleaned the kitchen. Troubleshot Time Machine problems and ended up reformatting the Time Machine drive and setting it up anew, letting the first backup run overnight.
