I read a discussion of the insurance thing responsible for my contacting my doctors in today's newspaper. It isn't a done deal yet; it seems the local hospital network and BCBS are playing chicken, and have until April 1 to sort it out. Fitting day to make an announcement, eh?

The router research has concluded and for confirmation that the choice was best I called my son to bounce my ideas off of him. He agreed, some of the features available today are overkill, but getting the range large enough for the house square footage and future-proofing by making sure it will easily connect with lots of WiFi devices is a plan. My MBS download is on the low end of what is available, but it does the job. And any router out there now is set to handle a much higher rate, though this isn't the fastest by any means.

The easy part is researching and ordering. Installing will be the next struggle (to be sure the footprint of the new one is the same as the old one and all passwords are the same so no devices have to be set up again.) Sometimes it's easy, sometimes it isn't. After that I have to map a drive (the router USB port) for the new full backup, and finally, I'll have to upgrade to Win11. That all doesn't need to happen right now.

I've been walking the dogs more lately and the last couple of times tried to resume using Google Fit, but it's gotten progressively stubborn and unresponsive. It insists on knowing where the phone is with high accuracy all of the time or it won't give any accuracy for just our walks. If I forget to tell the app that the walk is over it runs down my phone battery in a hurry. So nope.
