Can confirm the instructions leave a lot to be desired. Have you tried using the app (Garmin Messenger)?
I got as far as you did (just got one last month) and a buddy told me to get the app, which I've done - but haven't gotten back to try testing it out.

I thought the app was the only option 🤣. I'm an idiot and I got mine rolling pretty easily.
 
LaCroix cocoanut infused sparkling water. Which tastes pretty much exactly like sparkling water. I’ve been visiting my 95 yo Ma down in Santa Barbara this weekend. I can only hope I continue to age as well as her.
 
They opened our outdoor lap pool this morning so they could begin resurfacing the indoor pool, so drained down eight ounces of hot water mixed with honey the 5 min drive to the pool to crank up the interior thermostat. The pool was fine as long as I kept swimming...getting out in the 35 degree air temp with a 10 mph breeze, however, made the usual stroll to the locker showers more of a sprint...be a good thing if someone would kick Spring in the ass and tell it to wake up
 
Completely uneventful drive down from
WA towing a trailer to NV for two days…25 mins from the house on the 15 S in Las Vegas, a trailer in front of me popped open it’s door and out rolls a big spool of wire…it immediately rolls to my right (thank God) and I drive past it…I can see the craziness in my side mirror as cars screech and maneuver to avoid hitting it…Frick! I could hear some metal to metal contact…

I just downed two cold beers from the fridge in about 90 seconds…some kind of ipa…I’ll check in a minute when I get my third one…

Ok…a couple hours later, hot shower (with beer),
I’m thinking timing in life is everything…truly.

I was drinking lukewarm tap water still thinking about the sequel to Good Will Hunting... it involves Will moving to California chasing Skyler, but getting bored without his Southie friends, finds a group of guys doing demo and starts palling around with them when he is not solving math equations as a night janitor in the halls of Caltech. Skyler soon dumps him because one of her Stanford Med buddies suggests Will is in fact a living ChatGPT bot engineered by grad students at MIT waaaaay before AI went mainstream. So new Will Hunting is basically West coast exactly the same as he was back in Boston, but no Skylar. Cut to demo job where a cinder block thrown at him as a joke by his new moron friends cuts his arm open, and underneath it all, there is machinery, Skyler's boyfriend was right, Will Hunting is a sentient robot being, hence his regurg of "Gordon Wood drastically underestimates the impact of social distinctions predicated upon wealth, especially inherited wealth."

Good think/g I wasn't drinking anything stronger than lukewarm tap water

because if I was, that busting open of his arm and realization that he is a robot capable of revenge tees up the title....

Bad Will Hunting

The sequel is actually called "Oh God, Still Hunting". And he is not a robot. He wanders up to Oregon and gets obsessed with fly fishing. He actually writes an equation that is terribly complicated. If done correctly it will tell you when, where and what fly to cast a certain time to be guaranteed to catch a rising trout. Adam Sandler takes over Ben Aflick's role.
 
Drinking: Nice, cold tap water.
Thinking: We flush our toilets with tap water, which costs zillions of dollars to purify so it's safe to drink, while a quarter of the world's humans have no safe water.
More thinking: The aliens who study us must be shaking their heads at our "civilization".
 
Water
Thinking configuring this new wireless streamer couldn't be easier (once I typed the correct password), but why does it need a firmware update before it's even been used ?

Water last evening, coffee in this morning (wishing I had a stiff drink or two last night but quit 29 days ago)

Trying to not think of anything ---> stress reduction (been a hell of a week)

Congrats on 29 days of not drinking. 👍

Shiner Bock

Wondering what kind of moron buys an emergency whistle clearly marked "120 db" and decides to give it a moderate test blow without covering their ears.

I'm sorry...what? Did someone answer? Are there bees in here?

I had to look up shiner bock…

Did you live in TX?

Yup. Blew the dust off the top of a Shiner Bock sixpack for the first time in 1982 when I first moved there. Don't remember what time of year it was, but back then there was a "season" for bock beer.

Believe it was around Thanksgiving-New Years. Or winter definitely.
 
Drinking my second cup of Coffee and wondering how long the pain of fractured ribs is going to last.
I'm almost at the two week mark.
Long story short, don't use an air compressor as a step stool, have it flip over, and land with your ribcage on top of another compressor.:rolleyes:
Oh, and so much for my opening day fishing plans.:cry:
