Time to get a gun that’s what I been thinkin’ I could afford one if I did just a little less drinkin’

Good morning my friends. It’s another day here. It took me a long while to fall asleep last night. I just couldn’t shut my brain off.

Yesterday, my dad was moved to the local recovery/old folks home. Mom was there when he arrived. He was mostly responsive, and recognized her and asked to hold her hand for a while. After mom left there, she stopped at my work to drop off his tech.

His tech is a whole other story. We’re still working on it, but there’s an activation lock on his big iPad. Somehow it got massed up while he was staying in long-term care. I think that he tried unsuccessfully a couple of times to unlock it with his face, but he’s changed so much that it locked him out. He can’t remember his passwords and my mom said there’s nothing on the iPad that’s important. So it’s been reset, but we can’t get past the activation lock.

We’ll keep trying.

So if you’re reading this post, and you have aging parents – GET THEM TO WRITE THEIR PASSWORDS DOWN.

I’ll ask mom to let me at his phone which should be connected to everything still. I might be able to get to everything through the phone. As long as I can figure out his lock screen password.

We’ll figure it out.

But first, coffee.
