Patrick and I inspected a possible leak found in the garage. Breakfast at home: I prepared for myself sauteed vegetables (diced white onion, sliced carrot, spinach) with leftover cacciatore sauce and leftover seasoned basmati rice, hot water. Made changes to improve email deliverability and security. Installed updates for devices and websites. Vacuumed gnats from along the inside of the sliding glass doors and the dining room window throughout the day. Patrick wasn't feeling well and napped. Chris G and Andy T came over to help us install a new Kohler Artifacts kitchen faucet. It took longer than expected because the hole in the wood supporting the marble countertop was slightly too small. I ran to Cliff's in the midst of Castro Street Fair and purchased a wood rasp. They completed the faucet installation, and it is beautiful and works well. Afterwards we all walked a bit of the fair. Patrick went home, then Andy, Chris, and I continued to visit a party in the back yard of Qing's place where we spent several hours socializing in the shade of a fig tree and a (probably) lemon tree. I encountered Mark P and chatted with him a while, meeting Andrew. I met many other men new to me: Philip, Timothee, and more. Later we returned to the fair for a while, then Chris and Andy left to meet another friend for dinner at Nopalito. I walked home. Dinner at home: I prepared for myself tonkatsu-flavored instant ramen with one soft-boiled egg, fried fish cake, spinach, carrot, white onion. Afterwards we watched The Residence s1:e1 on Netflix then SNL s51:e1 on YouTube.
