Jon, the fuss of you tweaking your computer setup sounds equivalent to me fooling with eBay settings. They keep giving me different forms to use for listings and I have to poke around to get the one I want then delete the drafts I didn't use. The company is definitely too big for it's britches. (For Internet I have copper wire coming to the house (coaxial cable) but AT&T is moving fiber optic into the region—the Spectrum guy says it's crap, because he used to work for them, but it's what I would expect the competitor to say. I use a wired signal booster in the den, is that what your "AP" is?)

Senoufu, I always enjoy those larger sales like you describe. It's a chance to visit with a lot of people, and it seems the donations offered for sale are pretty substantial. They save the "good stuff" for there.

Dorothy, what a treat, to find it's so cool outside. We're into the high-90s this week, with a chance of thundershowers sprinkled around the region on Wednesday.

Since I lost weight I listed some name-brand undergarments that still have tags (bought with their good coupon at the semi-annual sale) and that are too big now that I've lost weight. There is a large eBay market for these. A lot of the too-large in-use garments will get tossed. One doesn't sell or donate some sorts of undergarments.

But speaking of losing weight - when I was doing alternate day fasting before the surgery I was at the gym at least a couple of days a week, working long enough to burn substantial calories (and knock off several chapters of a good murder mystery). I'm just on hold right now, maintaining one weight, but this week with trips out I'll include a visit to the gym and resume the recumbent bike routine. It involves some steps suggested by the physical therapist of moving the seat closer to the pedals so my knees bend more - to give the surgery knee some of the special moves that will help loosen scar tissue.
