Nov 16/17 - the sounds of silence

What a difference.  New tires. I hope these Pirelli's survive better than the Dunlop's.  Interestingly enough, at the end of the day, they're no more expensive at the dealership than Tirerack+Tire Kingdom, give or take.   It's more of a hassle booking at the dealer but they did provide a 330i as a loaner. Now I'm missing the g-force display on the dash …

I'd thought about getting the boat in the water for some cleaning but did some upstairs bathroom work instead. Minor stuff. I still have towel bar etc to hang. 

The T-Mobile internet gateway is behaving itself. It's consistently a lot faster in the wee morning hours than during the day. A lot. Sometimes 10x. It's not noticeable for browsing and email, only with Ookla. 

I spent an hour on the phone, again, with Ooma on the 688 number port. It seems that there were no notes or action from the session last week. This time I have a confirm. The rep kept on thanking me for my patience. It wasn't her fault. My bad for not getting the name or a confirmation number from last week's rep.  Kick myself now. 

Once the port is done, both the cottage number and the old 688 Radnor number will be on Ooma. $5-$6 per month vs $80-$90. 

Onward.
