I hit 5 neighborhoods in a row to lessen the chances of that happening. The blue hairs are still a danger though. I know you're in that category.
 
I GOT FLIGHT SIM 2020 DOWNLOADED LAST NIGHT

I decided to try again and it naturally started crashing again. However I started noticing that moving the mouse, after it had been downloading a minute or two, seemed to crash it a lot of the time. Don't ask me why.

So I turned off the Windows auto logoff after a certain time idle and just left it go overnight, even though when I turned off the monitor it was going at like 10 KB/s or something super slow like that.

It ended up being finished when I got up. Win
 
I waited at the Fed-Ex drop box in my town to ship a pre-paid package...after waiting until they were 30 minutes late...I drove about 25 miles to the Fed-Ex authorized shipper. Because I waited for the other pick-upot there,I was 10 minutes late...they hadn't picked up yet. Woot!
Made one stop after...Fed-ex was leaving the pick-up location...<phew...just made it>

This is a multi day. Wore out the rear gears on my MTB. Bike shop says she'll try and get new ones (welcome to our globalization overloards) because her distributer is saying 9/1. Tired of waiting after 2 weeks, so Amazon, 3 days later (see pic), gave her the gears and I got it back 8/12.

If you care it's a 11-32t. My old cassette must have been a slightly different ratio or the wear made a difference. The new are a slightly higher ratio so when I was in a hard 4, now I have to use 3rd.

Humph, eff that. I want 4th. Good on me. I did 14.7mph avg on Tuesday and 15.2 tonight. Haven't hit 15 since year before last. Back story is that this was a 17mph+ ride...10 years ago. Pneumonia 4 years ago and shit since. Had a 13.7 last year... 😞 yeah, I realize that you basement dwellers are holding me back but I am riding for your dabeetus.

15.2. 🎂

One off. 14.3 today and got rained on.
 
Anonymous $100 outback gift card via fedex. Good idea who sent it so I text him saying that the card services company ratted him out when I called them. Let's see if he bites.

And had to crawl under the house yesterday...reasons... the hvac guys dropped a perfectly good box cutter last year.

And, 2 days ago, the kid text saying, "I did a thing." WTH does that mean and how bad is it? $3K scholarship for his 3.97GPA in a STEM major. 😀
 
I found a little led flashlight in the swamp today. I was surprised to find that it still works. I looked up the brand and model. If one was selling it as a toy it would cost about ten bucks. If one marketed it to bicyclists it would be in the $50-70 range. The current going rate is $270. Gun nuts are nuts. Surefire Xc1.
