A Work In Progress

Spider 3-19-2026 ?

I was too slow fetching the "catcher"

to do

• 2-27-2026 10:41 AM Call with Social Security. Mon 1-5-26 Called Soc Sec to start $255 death payment request. They set up a 2-27 telephone meeting and sent a letter dated 1-5-2026 confirming the Telephone Appointment and asked that I have a Bank Statement or checkbook where the money is to be deposited.
• 3-3-2026 direct deposit for $255 received.

Thr 2-19-2026 a very productive day

• Visit New Allstate Agent - Confirmed that me and my policies were finally transferred to the new agent. This quest started in April. Old agent for years retired. Picked the new agent because his office is by Little Ceasers Pizza
• Visit New Allstate Agent - Confirmed $30,000 content coverage of storage units.
• Visit to the storage unit - spoke to Kaylee
• Visit to the storage unit - gave her a copy of my insurance policy that shows $30,000 of content coverage.
• Visit to the storage unit - Confirmed I'm paid up thru October.
• Visit to Chase Bank - rolled matured 5 month 3.9% CD into new 3 month 4% CD.
• Visit to K&g Fashion SuperStore - picked up 3 sport coats with altered (shortened) sleeves @ $20/coat. Left on 2-9-2026 so a ten day turn around. Maybe should have gone to Fred the tailor?

Streaming

Watched tons of TV testing the new router. After rewatching the Mayor Kingstown and Longmire a million more times I tried some other stuff and took some notes. Also loved the crime and reality ID Channel shows on HBO.

• HBO Station Eleven - WTF?
• HBO Bodyguard of Lies is a 2025 American documentary film about the he War in Afghanistan (2001–2021).
• HBO Weapons (2025) is considered very scary and unsettling about vanishing children.
• HBO How To with John Wilson - revisit - can't remember why this was noteworthy.
• HBO Wilson (2017) with Woody Harrelson - maybe it's this instead of "How To with John Wilson". That's note worthy.
• HBO Vicious" (2025) is a horror film starring about a woman terrorized after receiving a mysterious box. Holy crap! It made me pee my pants.
• HBO Manglehorn (2014) with Al Pacino is a moody indie drama. Very dark. Shity man with a shity life.
• AMC Dark Winds - expected Yellowstone. It's not. On the list to retry.
• HBO It's Florida, Man. One of the dumbest series ever. I loved it. Everybody else not so much.
• Sinners (2025) vampire horror-thriller jump scares and severe, gory violence. I don't think I liked it but it's on the try again list.
• One Battle After Another (2025) critics say either best or worst movie ever. it's on the try again list.
• Paramount Little Disasters - mother accused of child abuse. I can't remember it but it made the list.

3-4-2026 Garage Door Repair

Once upon a time ........ I saw sparks and fire come out of the 15 year old Genie Garage Door Opener so I ordered a new from Home Depot then I found out the door was broken (wouldn't go up or down without significant force. Not knowing if the door broke the opener of if the opener broke the door, I had the Garage Door Repair service fix the door and install the new opener. The spring was replaced in June 2023 but I did not buy a warranty. The repair guy asked if I was sure if I wanted him to install the opener (it's pretty easy and you've done it before). I said yes. Now if anything goes wrong I know the problem on the service company. The guy couldn't figure out my wiring so he ran new visible wires to the child safety mechanism. Easy fix but I might have to get into the hot and dirty attic.... The end.
