Slept in. Again began the Bioda treatment to kill fruit flies found at lower level sinks. Foot care. Caulk job from last night seems good. Brunch: leftover quarter quesadilla, hot water. Attempted to plug in the old Apple TV HD (4th generation) to erase it, but now the TV reports that it has no signal from it. I tried a lot of things for 15 or 20 minutes before stumbling upon the hidden action of holding the Menu button while holding the Volume Down button for 5 seconds. This made the Apple TV HD appear correctly on the screen and I was able to continue with the reset. Troubleshot problems with the scanner not being seen from Patrick's computer. Restarting his computer fixed it. Archived documents. Trash management. Late lunch: leftover three-quarters quesadilla, TJ's garlic and onion pistachios, hot water. Patrick napped then later I napped. Patrick and I visited The Academy for the first time in a long time with friend and neighbor Dan. It was Dan's first time visiting despite having joined a few months ago. He got to ring the bell. We ate margherita flatbread and chicken bites with cocktails, chatting with many others on the heated patio before moving inside to the speakeasy. Home. Patrick went to bed. I shared with Dan via SMS links to handwarmers. Late snack: mini mozzarella pizzas on english muffin. Labeled spice jars with an ultra-fine tip black Sharpie and small labels. To bed late.
