But now I'm still trying to clean up the final stuff, insurance and bank accounts etc, all by meself. That and getting used to rattling around in this house by myself. So I'm not inclined to do the upgrade, and recover all my stuff until I can see a few months down the road to do it. Scheduled for another ticker inspection in a few days, which will probably stretch into a session in the cath lab. A 30% ticker already running on a pacemaker needs TLC IOW. And I can't believe SS.gov, tried to setup an account on their web page, gave them my phone number and my email, confirmed my address. But they are going to MAIL me the verification code, estimated at 10 days. What the hell are they thinking? And I am not going anywhere near the office 25 miles up the superslab because the last time I was there 19 years to get my SS started, they kept my belt because it had a metal buckle and my glasses for the same reason. so I'm in there, holding up my pants, and blind enough I can't read the forms they want me to sign. That is so NOT going to ever happen again. All I want to do is change the auto-deposit account number and they are making it efing impossible. Same at the bank, gotta make an appointment at least a day in advance. Can you imagine an old fart like me with smoke coming out of his ears? Thanks Bill.
