We are about 130 miles south west of Cheryl Taxi.
The quake was a roller here and I felt like I was dizzy.
Nothing at all like Cheryl experienced.

I hadn't heard that it was another quake. Yeesh. I hope you're feeling a little better today.
I am periodically fiddling with my new phone. At the moment, I'm rearranging the icons for my apps. What a PITA it is dragging all those little icons around and often to a different screen. There has to be a better way. I move a few and get annoyed. That's why I'm doing it "periodically". Well, at least I got it to make calls, which it wouldn't do yesterday. I had to phone my cell provider to get them to activate it. The guy I talked to yesterday said I was good to go, but it turned out not to be true. I had to use a different phone to call today.

Depending on your phone and your service provider, you might be able to back up your phone's display settings, including the page layouts. Try looking in the help menu to see if there's a way built in. If not, there might be an app for that
Just find a Millennial, and feed them a real meal in exchange for setting up your phone. They can teach you how to use your phone, and you can teach them how to make their own coffee.

That sounds like a good idea. That assumes two things:
1) That I had my display set up the way I want it now, on the old phone, which is not the case.
2) That my old phone could be backed up now. It probably can't. It won't charge and last I looked, the power was down to around 15
I really wish I could do it from my computer. I am not all that fond of trying to move a lot of stuff using touch screen drag and drop.
But, now that you have pointed this out, I will look into it for next time. Thanks

TL, not sure what brand of phone you have. On my iPhone you have to go thru the process you described. I'm not aware of a faster way to go.
My new phone is a Pixel. Yeah, I was expecting this. It's why it took me months to get around to doing it. I just figure there should be an easier way. I'm not saying there is an easier way at the moment, but there is no good reason that there isn't.
Why would I want to get help from someone as old as a millennial?Just find a Millennial, and feed them a real meal in exchange for setting up your phone. They can teach you how to use your phone, and you can teach them how to make their own coffee.

Actually, not everyone is as "committed to orderliness" as you and I. I arrange all my apps in alpha order for each page. Then I have a folder with the least used apps loaded into it so don't have as much clutter on my phone.
The good thing is that once it's done you don't have to do it again.
I'm not as good at orderly as I would like. Now why didn't I think of putting stuff in alphabetical order? I think I will do that. The most used stuff goes on the "home screen" and the rest can be in alphabetical order. Good plan. Thanks Andy.

I have the most used stuff on the first screen as well AND they are in alpha order. Less used apps are on the second screen and they are in alpa order starting over with 'A'.

Today, I put an old Weber 1000 grill back into service. I picked this one up last weekend from my local Freecycle. It's very similar to my first Weber which I bought in 1999 for $500. These pre-2000 Webers are a classic. So when I get an opportunity to get one for free, I take it.
The frame was in very good shape. The flavor bars were shot. Same for the grates. I tossed those in the garbage. Then I cleaned out the grill. Took the flavor bars & grates from my old grill and put them into this one. I also swapped out the gas manifold (it was propane and I switched it to natural gas). It looks great!
Meanwhile, my old grill is in my "shop" to undergo a major rehab. I'll sand off the rust and repaint the frame. The hood was taken apart so I can degrease it and repaint it. So when it's all done, it'll be almost like new.
One reason why I like these grills is that you can easily find parts for them. Also, the burners run left-to-right so I can use a rotisserie attachment. When I get a chance, I'll try to post a picture of it.

That's some ambitious project, bbq!
I'm taking a break from kitchen work to sit in my freshly painted porch rocker, sip iced tea, and enjoy rain falling down onto my currently weed free garden. It won't last long, though, from the thunder that's rumbling in the west and the radar showing a lot of deep orange and red approaching us. At least I won't need to water my just-planted trees and perennials. Thanks, Mother Nature!

I now have waste water from the laundry room draining into these 50 gallon water barrels so I can irrigate all the trees, shrubs, and bamboo in the back yard. The water from the washer to the plants are gravity fed to each feed line, no pumps. I linked each barrel to one another at the bottom so they all fill and drain at the same time (like having a single, 350 gallon tank).
Five large washer loads will easily fill the barrels almost to capacity.

Ingenious. What a great solution to the drought problem there.

Two birds with one stone! [emoji38]
I know that is considered "grey water" but how do you filter out the sopa?
