Daylight saving time switchover: spring forward. Slept in. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, and sliced banana; water to drink. Spent time today researching alternatives to Pinboard. My renewal is coming soon, the price has doubled from $11/year to $22/year, and I haven't been happy with the service because it's often slow to respond and because Maciej Ceglowski ignored my support request for resolving a problem a while back. Rested. Lunch at home with Patrick: I prepared for us potato-and-mung-bean-noodle soup with super greens, soft-boiled egg, diced red onion, firm tofu minicubes, sliced mushrooms, ginger juice, lime juice, a mix of veggie and seafood broths, and furikake. Water to drink. Sam gave us a ride to Kerry and Mom's place. We chatted on the phone with Dianne while we drove. At their place Patrick colored his mom's hair red, and Kerry and I installed an HDMI cable but failed to get a new cable box working. All seems correct except the cable box just doesn't work. Kerry will contact Comcast/Xfinity tomorrow to resolve it. From their place Patrick and I walked to and around the Castro. We stopped at Harvey’s where they checked our vaccination cards: a negroni for Patrick, a Stoli peach lemonade for me, onion rings with ketchup. Patrick asked for bbq sauce but it never arrived and we didn't complain. Afterwards I stopped at Cliff's for white polyester thread. We dined at Wilkommen where they checked our vaccination cards: duo (cheddar brat, smoked hot), schnitzel, helles .5L for Patrick, Imagery pinot noir for me. Rode UberX home because the Muni predictions either were nonexistent or changed to later times. At home we watched 1h12m of The Adam Project on Netflix instant watch. Patrick went to bed.
