Fri
--   6:19a  Up
--   6:55a  First drop of day
--   7:10a  2nd
--   7:20a  3rd
--   7:25a  "Seth Meyers"
--   8:15a  Leaving for 9:15a surgery follow-up appointment in Glen Ellyn
Nancy drove and we first stopped off to pickup the phone charger that Carla left at surgery center. 
--   8:50a  Arrive at doctor's office.
The doctor is pleased with the condition of my eye.  He said I could drive.
I should wait a few days to bike and keep it easy, but I can use exercise bike inside.
He said I only need to use 3 drops a day although 4 might help it heal faster.
-- 10:22a  Home;  I can't believe I forgot to press the update button on blog again.
-- 10:35a  Breakfast @home: PB&T;  "The View"
-- 11:27a  Finished call with AT&T and they'll send someone out next week.
I got a text from them with the ticket number but it also had a link to try to
resolve the problem myself, but the link just went around in circles.
-- 11:47a  Skim Ch2 news
-- 12:52p  Got text from AT&T that tech is on the way.
I went outside to wait and talked to neighbor.

--   1:17p  Tech arrived
He check the neighborhood canister and got a dial tone.
Went inside and it seems to be working.  Although he didn't find a specific problem
it seems that something must have gotten jostled in the wire canister outside.

--   1:40p  Tech finished
--   2:10p  Leaving to bring bike to shop for tune-up but mostly for shifting problems.
Neighbor helped me put it in the car and bike shop took it out.
Google Timeline failed to see that I made stop at bike shop. It frequently makes such mistakes.

--   2:46p  Arrived for dinner @Arby's: reuben
They has a BOGO and I brought the 2nd one home.

--   3:15p  Home;  The AT&T guy is still parked outside my house.
I picked up the kitchen phone and there was static.  I called and got a busy signal.
I disconnected that phone and the next call went to my answering machine.
So, it seems that maybe the kitchen phone has a problem, however it worked earlier.
I told the tech and he called and got my answering machine, so he's blaming the
kitchen phone, but there still might have been something wrong in the canister outside.
Is a puzzlement!
--   3:38p  "Inside Edition"
--   4:20p  ... "Kimmel"
--   5:49p  ... "Colbert"
--   6:25p  "Jimmy Fallon"
--   7:05p  Skim Ch7 news
--   8:24p  "ET"
I've been running up and down the stairs trying different configurations of phones
and I seem to reproduce the problem but then it starts working again, so I
can't figure out where the problem is.
-- 10:00p  Skim Ch5 news
-- 11:10p  Bed
