After that shower experience in the motel I resolve to keep a spare adjustable shower head in the car. The water pressure & temperature were OK but the water direction was too narrow, just not enough spread to it.
I've not been to this attraction for years. http://www.bendigopottery.com.au It's 100 years older than I am and going by the website, is much more substantial than in the 1980s when I last visited it.
Arrived in the motel, enjoying an AeroPress brew before heading of to briefly visit sick relatives. Mum's brother & his wife have the flu pretty bad so I won't expect to go inside. Uncle Mike is off to hospital tomorrow to geyt a leakong artificial heart valve fixed and Trish, his dear wife has been fighting lupus for about 10 years. She's at a stage where drugs don't make her any better but not taking them makes her no worse. It's been three years since I last saw them and five since seing their kids who live in a different part of the same inland city.
@matigo Cat ran off to her food & water department. Then back on the chair as it nothing happened.
Just kicked the cat. She jumped from the office chair onto the printer that sits on the bedside table. Her plan was to then jump onto me & say hello.
But the MacBook Pro intervened. It was on top of the printer. The second jump lost any elegance or accuracy when the MBA slid off the printer to the floor between the bad & table, taking the cat with it. A natural cat reaction is to extend the claws & hang onto something.
Something like a bare human leg.
Which hurt at the time and still does some minutes later.
The computer is OK, the only moving parts are the keys & the hinge and the lid was closed.
I'd only just disconnected the MagSafe 1 power connection when the incident occurred.
Kicking thw cat was a natural human reaction to the attack pounce.
Since DiskWarrior now comes on a USB stick, partitioned into a recovery drive & a recovery drive maker, I thought I'd see if there was an update to the latter with full 10.12 compatibility. There is such a thing, I have used it to update the recovery maker partition on my DW stick. I'm now in the process of making a DW recovery drive to suit 10.12. This works in the same way as a regular recovery drive except when booted from it, the first set of utilities is DiskWarrior.
in 2009 I bought a new 13-inch MacBook Pro which was sold to the Mac User group to use with the book lending library. I mostly used it while connected to power so didn't care about the battery-sapping aspects of running a 7200 rpm drive in it, it was much faster than with the 5400 rpm unit it shipped with.
I was using it yesterday at the MUG's monthly meeting and when packing it away observed that for some reason its power supply had grown enormously. No way was it that big when I owned it. I recall it being a square configuration 60 watt unit.
But the one that was in use with it was a rectangular unit, a standard Apple device, not a 3rd-party one. The Magsafe cable sprouted from the long side of the rectangle. Checking online revealed it to be an 85 watt unit from a 15 or 17-inch MacBook Pro.
Dunno why it's using such a thing, but I guess it shows that Apple's chargers are smart ones & won't deliver more current than the machine can handle.
Car racing on the telly on a wee while. The annual Bathurst Touring Car 1000 km race. The TV network that televises it has announce the coverage will start at 7:30 am (race start is usually 10:30) and run for 603 minutes. Dunno where they get the mumbers from.
