Another unexciting evening was spent in the mausoleum in the “old folks home” in Waikiki. There have been no evening outings since last Thursday with the dreadful visit to the Apple® Store in Ala Moana Center.
The left calf muscle injury is nearly healed. Walking returned to normal yesterday with only a slight hint of pain. Unfortunately, the right knee was inadvertently slammed into a door jamb in the mausoleum last night. The idiotic “senior moment” resulted in yet another injury. The wounds from the face-first fall are also still healing.
The weekly inspection of the AirPods Pro 2 earbuds revealed that the batteries for both the earbuds and the case were completely depleted. That’s after a full charge last week. The culprit appears to be the 6A303 firmware update that was released along with the iOS 17 upgrade. The firmware is required for all of the new features. Little wonder why the 6A305 update was released less than a week later. The AirPods received the update while charging, the fastest update ever. In any case, the batteries have already been damaged. The Beats® Studio Buds + has no problems whatsoever. Yeah, which earbuds would be recommended by Notes?
The iPhone 15 Pro has yet to generate any kind of excitement. Perhaps the dreadful purchase experience at Apple® Store has increased the bias. The recollection of the “air” of arrogance there still invokes extreme resentment. The device, itself, has suffered none of the reported problems. Of course, all of the new features have been disabled.
The various shortcuts were also imported to the iPhone 15 Pro, including the most important one that prevents opening the camera “app” from the lockscreen. The two times that the iPhone 14 Pro camera “app” was unwittingly opened from the lockscreen, then left unattended in the gym bag for an extended period of time, resulted in extreme heat generation, battery depletion, and a reduction in battery health. All iPhone owners, beware!
The Norelco® electric shaver continues to “grate on the nerves.” The discontent with the device has been delineated upon previously in Notes. No need for redundancy. However, the time is coming for its replacement. How can an electric shaver cause so much grief?

| Community Tent - Sand Island Homeless Shelter |
In retrospect, the days of the Sand Island homeless shelter are looked upon as the “good times.” Yeah, hard to believe, eh? The evenings in the community tent were great. Seriously, though, that experience was certainly more enjoyable than the past few years in the mausoleum. Unexciting stories for unexciting times. Sheesh!
Postscript: All “shiny objects” are “pieces of shit.” Why waste time and money on that crap?
