Projects for the day

dreamsharkI try to keep my expectations low and usually have only one goal for the day. I considered, "Wash my hair" as today's goal, but there were too many other exciting possibilities so I'm saving that for tomorrow. The sun is shining (!) so I feel like I can handle more than one thing, but enough is enough. The hair can wait.
- Try again to start the car. It's a little warmer now, but I expect that battery is still dead. After a frustrating multi-level search I concluded that my car-starter rig had gone off to The Land of Lost Passports, so I just went to Amazon and ordered a new one. It's enough different from the old one that I won't feel bad if the original turns up. The new one does not include an air compressor, so it is much more compact and actually pretty cool looking. It has a built-in flashlight and 3 charger ports for charging other electronic devices during road trips. I charged it up overnight, and am preparing to try it out.
- Walk over to Garfield and 40th to see the infamous "Christmas tree growing through the porch roof" that all the neighbors are buzzing about.
- Watch TV. This turns into a more challenging project every day as I keep impetuously signing up for more services. This one is the most complicated and expensive of them all. Roku finally rolled out its app for HBO Max. HBO no longer offers a free trial (not even a week) but a couple of my Amex cards are offering 50% rebates for the first 3 months, so this seems like the time. I mostly want to watch season 3 of Westworld, but there are enough other items of interest on HBO to keep me busy for at least 3 months. However, I am still trying to get my $.99 worth out of Britbox before the month ends, so I must not slack off on my nightly TV habit.
