They're a lot better than they used to be. Nowadays, Motel 6 and Super 8 are hit/miss properties.

Grognard:
I highly recommend HAMPTON INN.
They're a property of the Hilton chains.

Is it cold in here?:
I've got my pain control down to regular strength Tylenol! This started out with sleep being interrupted by pain breaking through some heavy-duty drugs that I was glad to discontinue.

Trying to figure out a way to thank and reward my microscopic repair crews for their hard and apparently successful work. "Good osteoblasts! Have some osteoblast biscuits!" seems to miss the mark. I've been showering them with supplemental nutrients to support their work. Maybe in their world that's enough.

I finally found a "fix" for the old 30" Apple Cinema display that I acquired a couple of years ago.  Most of the time, it flickers or just simply turns off.  However, taping a small piece of kitchen foil over the touch-sensitive on/off button cures this.  So now I am using a 2560x1600 display :D

I also had to put my old display card back in my new machine, because the on-board video, while actually more capable, cannot output this resolution on a plug that I can use with the display (even with a converter).  Not throwing things out is good...

The usage which will most benefit from this is my audio editing; but it's a pretty impressive thing to have on my desk anyway.

Is it cold in here?:
The followup appointment with the surgeon was entirely good news. Yes, having a two-pound lifting limit for two weeks is good news -- infinitely better than having the arm in a sling.

Typing two-handed now, and tied my shoes normally yesterday. Even driving (with limits).
