Got my steps done at the airport again. First time my son walked with me. It was fast, I actually wished we walked longer, I enjoyed the walk.
Lost an hour of sleep, but got some stuff done. Still behind, and did not get a lot done.
One of the things I did do was test out an upgrade on some Windows 10 desktops. It works, so life is extended on those machines.

I moved the original 512GB M.2 SATA back into the laptop. It’s will just be a simple daily driver laptop for me now.
Maybe a step up to the larger 7490 with bigger screen.
Going out for fun tonight, got 11 floors and my steps sit at 9299 as I post, pretty sure I will make 10k.
If not will edit this post if I didn’t,

Found what was wrong with my new laptop, or found out why it was cheap, it was because the monitor was not 1080P it was 1366×768.
But that is not a show stopper, it still does the original goal, something light to carry around.
For the most part everything works though.

Got my new laptop in and am running through some things.
Pretty decent speed, I though it was not going to come with a battery but low and behold there was a battery.
I did replace the 512GB SATA with a 2TB NVME.
Struggling through a Windows 11 install, hoping it goes in.
Not sure if we weighed in this morning but it was listed at 347.6 but here is my weight after dinner.

Promised a quick getaway to Hawaii, didn’t know we did not have enough miles.
Credit card hit again, we will see though, this one not due till April. Maybe can find money somewhere (tax refund?).
Done with steps pretty late. Doing good but so tired.
Feet doing better than yesterday, but it was a late walk so had a bit longer to recover from yesterday.

My feet are hurting, like my plantar fasciitis is starting to hit.
I got steps done early, but I needed more in the evening, and the final 2000 was a struggle.
Need to get sleep sooner.

Went to doctor today regarding Vertigo (spinning room) issues from early last month.
Looks like it can be fixed with some PT.
Day was pretty easy, got a majority of my steps done early.
Unfortunately this was a late post, backing date by an hour.

Got 1/2 my steps done in the morning to free up my afternoon from getting my steps in. Looks like I did not need that much time.
With my son’s help got it done pretty quick like 2 hours and we spend time afterwards watching the 1996 Movie Independence Day.
Looks like it can be a place to hang out, need to start clearing out the boxes.
I should bring the label printer down there and rig a camera to inventory boxes.
Am motivated now to go down there an hour day to pack a box.
Also did some quick research on redoing my crash case. Thinking of getting a monitor that does VGA directly and be powered via 5V to 12V booster.
Still got 3000 steps to go, if I don’t get it done by midnight I will update my post.

Its weird, I bid low on ebay for a laptop and won.
It is for a Dell Latitude 7290. Should be compatible with Windows 11.
It cost me a whopping 77.07 with taxes and shipping. Cheaper than the NVME card I plan to put in there.
There are caveats though
No problem, I have OS license.
No problem, I wanted a known fresh battery
No problem, I have AC adapters already.
Couple enhancements I am looking at with this new system.
Anyway, this is the start of something new I hope, with most of my Linux boxes at R9 and cloud ready to go to R9, hoping the laptop will be some sort of lifeboat, seed.
On the fitness status, 10k steps seems to be getting easier, still hard though, just that I can power through 9000 steps in about 100 minutes like I did today.
Also had an incredible sleep last night, I felt refreshed all day.
Cracking 340 is doable.

Looks like my finances are recovering from Christmas. Balances are going down and bills are getting easier to pay.
Not out of the woods yet things starting to get better. There is a good chance we will make our 2024 goals.
Weather not cooperating, still dismal, but I did hit the gym and was on the treadmill, getting the BP up to where it needs to be.
So close
Made it of course just took a few steps.
