Good, chilly but good.

Blood sugar, for no good reason, dropped thirty two points to 131.  Now, I am cutting kefir intake to no more than two cups at a time.  Was pushing closer to three.  And, having it less often.  Same with coffee, and trying to push to remember to only add three drops of sweetener, when I add it.  Trying not to add that all the time.  Keto sweetener, for what that seems to matter sometimes.  Even so, why it dropped tonight, and not yesterday, doing the same things?  Take what you can get.

Eggs and corned beef hash, for supper tonight.  And a handful of walnuts and pecans.  I recently purchased something like cookie cutters, but for frying eggs in.  To give the fried eggs that nice round formed shape.  As long as I know the eggs are good, I like the idea.  Plus, I have my griddle on a slant, so the extra oil will drain away.  Not the easiest thing to cook eggs on.  A spatula and a bit of quick work, if it's at the right temp, works.  But would rather just crack, drop, and forget.  I'm hoping they work.  Washed them, and ready to try them tonight.

It was already down to 49 when I went out.  It's been that temp for about an hour.  May easily drop further yet tonight.  I expect it will.  When I saw it was that cool, I closed things up, made sure the fans were off.  Save upstairs.  I think there is a fan going up there.  I'll turn it off shortly.

I saw another sale on steak.  Since I consumed the last new york strips faster than wanted, due to packing problems, I ordered more.  That, with what else is in the freezers, will last me... two, three, or more like four months.  Though, I must admit, if I see burger at $3.50 a pound again, I'll buy it.  At least fifty pounds.  It's one of my favorite meats.

The forms worked... okay.  Some of the white slipped under.  But not much and it didn't go far.  Not... sure what I did, how it did.  And, I don't have to leave the forms down.  Just give them a minute, or less, then pull them.  They are soaking in hot soapy water as I speak.  May have been debris, from the corned beef hash, keeping them from being perfectly flat?  Cooking at night, just just a flashlight, outdoors, can be tricky.  Even so, breakfast... supper?  lunch?  brunch?  Whatever that would pass for, was quite good.  I used tobasco.  Can barely taste it.  But... it does add a very little something something.

I have been looking for a new game.  I found a few, in my old stock.  Some were amazing.  Some really... weren't.  The Collisto Protocol stank.  Imagine walking around with an extra thirty to fifty pounds and your feet tied so you can only take quarter or half of your normal full step.  Your weapons all weigh about fifteen pounds, including your pistols.  There isn't enough ammunition, or healing, or... anything.  And, that is on the easiest settings.

Oh, and?  The game won't let you win some bosses through just shooting and clubbing.  There is a mechanic by which you can throw items.  It doesn't tell you that is required.  It is.  There are other problems.  It... is a horrible game.  Don't bother with it.  

Then I heard about another game, that is actually already out.  They were offering a free trial.  I went into it all but sure I wouldn't buy the game.  They were going to have to work for it.  No running?  Well, I hope I don't have too far to walk.  Can't even drive faster?  On open roads?  Hope I don't have to drive far.

This entry doesn't work.  Hmm... wonder if there is another way in.  Three ways in, that didn't work.  Ah, a minor service elevator.  But it stops half way up.  Expected.  That sort of game.  But, then, indicator for which button to press.  Sure, I get it.  Swing one way, then the other, then back and forth until there is enough momentum to get to a platform, or stuck bigger elevator, or such.  Cool.

I spent ten minutes trying to figure out how to get the swing just right.  Not even close.  Not once.  I tried other buttons, I tried holding the button.  I tried immediately releasing.  I tried everything I could think of.  Nope.  Hell, their TRIALS don't even work anymore!  Glad I didn't buy before trying.  Fort Solis.  I don't know if the full game works, but the trial hung up and wouldn't let me through.  I just erased it and am moving on.

Not sure what to look for, play.  I went back, kicked around a few older ones.  The Forest... bleh.  Would have to relearn the whole blasted thing.  Cyberpunk 2077.  Bleh, doubly so.  When you already know so far ahead, but can't remember how to do every single thing, so the learning curve is there again?  Bleh.

They are coming out with a (purchasable) dlc.  With a black as the lead.  No thanks.  When they don't fuck things up, they... fuck things up.  Eventually they will figure it out.  Their seeming current target audience, on the whole, can't play their stupid game... start to stop.  Punishing me for that won't make us friends.  I'll not buy their dlc.  Might no longer play the game as is.  They aren't helping their cause.

I'll keep looking.  Maybe there is a game out there.  Subnautica?  Having to go old, and of my usual track, to try to find something worth playing.  That isn't broken in trial!?!  Gah!  I have heard they are remaking one of the best, and first, cyber type games.  Though, whether that will happen, or get to ps4/5 is another thing altogether.  I can't recall the name, right off hand.  But I did hear that it was being worked on.  And, they were pretty much just bringing the original back.  Improving graphics, and a few elements like updating controls, but... basically the real thing.

I started pricing a computer.  But then realized games aren't worth playing these days.  Computers can make it slightly better.  But you can't do much with wokeness.  It's like asking to have your burger spit in by ordering it in certain places.  Only, now?  It's every place other than your own cooking.  Can't even trust your woman or children, these days.

Anyway... on to something.  I'll see how much Subnautica costs through download, and at amazon.

Oh, I did order a good batch of cowboy charcoal the other day.  I found the best price, which wasn't great.  And, ordered a lot.  I'll have to hide it, to the degree that is possible.  I want to do my roasts out on the egg grill/smoker.  So much better than baked.  Creates a bark, can be cooked slower, just... I miss good charcoal foods.  And, for ribs.  I've even been thinking about prime rib.  There is no better non-steak meats than what comes out of smokers.

Well... on to something.  Later.
