Wash out, Rubber band dates

Yesterday was gray and raining for almost the entirety of the day, making for an anticlimactic end to my 5 day weekend.  I relegated myself to mostly indoor tasks, getting some hobby room work done, playing WoW and watching some Olympic coverage.  Speaking of the Olympics, how about the mens 4 x 100 relay team shitting the bed and screwing up the baton hand off AGAIN. The USA was actually favored to win the entire event, instead they didn’t even make it out of their qualifying heat. They have a long history of under performing in the Olympics for the last two decades.  You wouldn’t think it’s that hard to hand off a baton cleanly.  Maybe they took an Allan Iverson attitude towards it, practice, who needs practice…

I forgot to mention that one of the tasks I did over the 5 days was upgrade my Xfinity Xfi router to support higher speeds.  It was a free upgrade so it was worth the effort.  It turns out there was very little effort involved.  Any wifi router swap out I have ever done meant I had to go around and redo the wifi config for EVERY wireless device in the household.  I don’t have an exact count of how many wifi devices I have but I suspect it’s well over 20, possibly 30. It’s a pain in the ass.  This Xfi upgrade was the first time I have been able to do this operation without updating a single device.  There were a handful I had to reboot but that was it, the wifi network was moved across intact.  It was one of the few times I was pleased with something associated with Comcast/Xfinity.  The new router supports wifi speeds of 1200mb, a big plus for wireless VR activities.

The delivery date on my new Model Y has been sliding back and forth.  For awhile it showed a delivery window of mid-August to early September.  Then suddenly that got pushed back to October.  Now today the date has retracted to the first 3 weeks in September.  The good news is I am flexible so if it happens sooner or later I can make it work.
