Before I woke Patrick made banana bread with pecans for Simmone. Breakfast at home: TJ's cherry pistachio pecan granola with milk and blueberries and local honey, hot water. All day: Recharge Medical work: continued building new blog item pages. Encountered a time usage limit (5 hours) with Claude after sending only two messages that included a 17 KB markdown file. One of the messages was only because Claude got the request wrong. I have decided that Claude is now unusable for work now on my free account, and I have no interest in paying since I see complaints on forums from people who are paying and they say the same thing. Walked to Cliff's Variety to drop off batteries for disposal. Walked to lunch at Iggy's Burger with a subset of The Syndicate: Ray F, Andy M, Scott T, Scot B, Tim C, JY, Adrian C, Patrick C, Jose C, Emery M. I had Iggy's Rodeo (onion rings and bacon) with house fries and Fort Point Park Pale Ale. Order at the register. You receive an electronic notifier, but they still bring it to you. (Or maybe that's because we had a large group?) Everyone seemed to enjoy their food. Continued Recharge Medical web work. Removed a sticky Amazon label from a new Oxo oil dispenser with Goof Off then washed it to prepare it for service. Treated an Oxo sponge holder with bleach solution because dark spots had started to appear on it. Dusted the south bedroom including the plantation shutters. Walked to the Farmer's Market at Noe and Market Streets with Patrick, bought some fruit. Afterwards we walked to dinner Katsuo + Kombu (415-829-3150, 559 Divisadero St). Order and pay at the register, then they bring drinks and food to you. Large felt baskets enable you to store belongings since there are no hooks on the walls or under the tables. Patrick had cold udon noodles with tempura chicken (toriten bukkake) and a ginger soda. I had hot udon noodles with tempura shrimp and vegetables (kakiage udon) and a white peach hard soda. All food and drink were delicious. $54.41 after a $2 tip. We walked home. We watched Widow's Bay s1:e6 on Apple TV then Big Mouth s3:e4 on Netflix then half of Mary Beth Barone: Galaxy Brain on Netflix. Patrick went to bed. Scanned property tax bills for archiving. Updated home devices from macOS and iPadOS and iOS 26.5.2 to 26.6. Cutting board wood butter treatment.
