MCU, ReelGood
By Derek | August 29, 2019
A good Thursday. (29th)
Finished Daredevil season 1.
Still intent on watching the MCU shows in chronological order, per https://www.inverse.com/article/32661-marvel-movies-order-mcu-timeline … so, I started Jessica Jones season 1.
Also, using the ReelGood.com app to track my TV and movie watching. It’s neat.
Got a great get well card today, signed by all my friends at work. Very cool!
Jessica Jones season 1 is long, didn’t finish it today, I have a few episodes left.

Doc, Brawlhalla, Win10
By Derek | August 28, 2019
A good Wednesday.
Had my 2nd post-op doctor appointment. Doc says I don’t have to bandage my wound anymore. So that’s definitely a good thing.
Played a bunch of Switch demos that I had downloaded with my younger son. Then we moved over to Brawlhalla and played that for a few hours. Once we got tired of that, we played Burnout Paradise on X360. I think between myself and my two sons, we easily have over 500 hours in that game.
I helped our family friend wipe his laptop of Chinese Windows 10, in favor of US Windows 10. Actually started that yesterday, with a secure wipe of the spinny disk in the laptop, and then booted to Linux USB to wipe the m.2 SSD in the laptop, and install Win10. Running Unigine Heaven benchmarks on it, to see where it sits, speed-wise, it’s a pretty beefy laptop.

Daredevil, Knight Rider
By Derek | August 27, 2019
A good Tuesday.
Sorry for no update yesterday. Was a good day.
Today, watched more Daredevil season 1. Also completed season 1 of Knight Rider with my son. That’s all the episodes I own, so we started the pilot for The Six Million Dollar Man. That’s a show I’ve never seen in order before, so it should be fun.
Our niece and her kids stopped by today to say hi and see how we’re holding up. It was a good visit.

Last Starfighter, TV
By Derek | August 25, 2019
A good Sunday.
Taking a break from Agents of Shield. Started watching Marvel’s Daredevil.
Helped some friends with a networking problem, their AT&T fiber modem was configured incorrectly.
Watched The Last Starfighter with the family right before bed.

TV, Knight Rider
By Derek | August 24, 2019
A good Saturday.
Watched more Agents of Shield, finished season 2, started season 3. I hope it gets a little less weird. I forgot that I was going to start watching Daredevil after season 2, so I guess that’ll have to wait now. Here’s the link I’ve been using for the MCU: https://www.inverse.com/article/32661-marvel-movies-order-mcu-timeline
Watched more Knight Rider with my youngest son.

TV, Computer
By Derek | August 23, 2019
A Good Friday.
Still watching Agents of Shield season 2.
Helped our family friend set up his new computer. For now, it’s in the game room, so that I can help with it.
I did manage to take a walk into my office today. It’s too cramped for my walker, but I went anyway, to grab an Ethernet cable for the new computer.

Knight Rider, iPad Air3
By Derek | August 22, 2019
A good Thursday.
Spent some time in the afternoon watching TV with my younger son. We’re still watching the original Knight Rider season 1.
More Agents of Shield season 2 after that. Lots going on this season, almost too much. Looking at the MCU timeline, it looks like I need to watch Daredevil season 1 after AoS#2 wraps up. It’ll be a good break.
My son’s new iPad came in today, and we got it all set up. It’s an Air3, and _so_ much faster than his old one. He’s very happy with it. Jill and I got him an Otterbox Defender case to go with it. His old one came out of a Defender, and still looks brand new.

Doing well, Minecraft
By Derek | August 21, 2019
A good Wednesday.
Had my post-op doctors appointment this morning. Doc says I’m doing well, keep on truckin’.
Started season 2 of Agents of Shield. This season feels almost like a different show. Still enjoying it.
This evening, played some Minecraft on Xbox360 with my youngest son and a friend.

Agents
By Derek | August 20, 2019
A good Tuesday. (20th)
Watched a bunch of TV. Still working on Agents of Shield. A lot of modern TV shows seem to only have 10-15 episodes per season, but Agents of Shield has 22 episodes in the first season. I finished the first season today.
Helped my friend who’s staying with us find a great gaming monitor. After reading a ton of reviews and learning about VSync vs. FreeSync vs. GSync, he went with the Asus ROG PG279Q.
Now time for bed.

Walker, Texas Stranger
By Derek | August 19, 2019
A good Monday.
Watched a couple of Harry Potter movies with my family, spent most of the rest of the day watching Agents of Shield, and a few Looney Tunes.
Trying to catch up on personal email — I’ve ignored it for days and days now, and I get a bunch of email daily.
Still walking with a walker, but I’m told that I’m moving well and quickly. Doesn’t really feel like it, but I’ll take it.
