- Sat, 20:51: @Misfit's latest update, once again, screwed up my sync. I think it's time to try out @GarminFitness Vivofit 2. @amazon is bringing 1 today.

I got into the pool early today since I was there when the front desk lady arrived. She lets me in and then locks the door behind us so she can get set up. It's always fun to get a 10 minute head start. At 8, my two favorite swim buddies showed up so we each had a lane. We had the pool to ourselves for about 40 minutes. It was fun.
Now I'm home and I'm breakfasted. I need to clean up the kitchen and then trot the rubbish down to the garage bins. And then I can sew.
I'm in a fitness tracking crisis. My Misfit Shine which I have now been wearing religiously for a year and a week is having issues again. About every 4th time they update the app, they fuck it up. I have to uninstall and then find an APK of a previous version to install. It's getting old. Plus they were bought out by Fossil who just revealed their latest smart watch which is butt ugly and the size of an SUV. I'm sure they are going to suck up all the Misfit brains for it and not the old Misfit products.
And I want something that counts laps while I'm swimming anyway and shows me the count plus does other fitness stuff, too. Garmin has a watch that is really huge and not great looking and very expensive. But they have been in the swim tracking game a long time. So I bought their fitness band. It took me all of 1 hour to figure out it sucked. It's too big and too ugly and, actually, does not track swimming. It tracks movement but not swimming and definitely won't count my laps. So back to Amazon it goes.
Next up is the Pebble Time watch. It has a better shot at working like I want. I just am not sure about how it looks. Well, as I typed that last sentence, it was delivered! And it's not as huge as I thought.
Well, that was an hour ago. Now the watch is all set up and talking to my phone and ready for tomorrow's swim. I think this may be a keeper!
But, alas, the kitchen is still not clean and I haven't even hung up my wet sit yet. Geesh.

We are having some weather
Mar. 13th, 2016 04:30 pmI'm not sure we really need to worry about an earthquake or a tsunami cause we are going to blow away today. We have rain and on and off but holy crap do we have wind. There are 3 porta potties lined up next to a fence outside Century Link Field across the street. Or rather I should say there were three. Now there are two and one about a yard and a half away. I guess it's lucky that it just walked away and didn't tip over. They closed a major bridge across Lake Washington. The Sunday news crews are getting their workout today!
I've gotten a text and an email from the power company apologizing in advance for a power outage. We still have power but many don't. Lots of trees on cars. One killed a guy already today. Of course the Tree That I Hate is still standing strong. I'm willing it to go but so far it's a literal no go.
I just went down to put boxes in the dumpster and nearly got blown down ... in the garage!
They have been predicting this wind for a day or two but last night downgraded it. I think we're really lucky we didn't get the original blast.
