Another beach trip on Saturday. More swimming and playing in the sand with Lucy. After nap, another trip out to a playground with some sprinklers, before picking up dinner from Pasta Palazzo. Sunday drove out to Woodstock with Lucy, but felt bad for her since she couldn't play outside because it rained all day. Took me way to long to get my dad's DSL back up and running. While following directions to try and set up the 2Wire as a dumb bridge, actually wiped out the DSL password, and the one I had written down wasn't working. Then I tried to allow the automated system to download the tools to update the password, but those weren't working under Lion. So then tried to do it online, but didn't follow directions, so wasted some time there, until I followed directions, and tried to get it changed, but didn't realize I had the wrong last four SSN digits for the account owner, so ended up locking the account, before I just gave up and called into tech support, which then forwarded me after waiting, to an automated line for resetting the DSL password. And then it worked. Then I tried doing a backup, but would have been too slow over USB, so gave up on the nuke and pave to Mountain Lion. But I was able to set it up so I can again do remote troubleshooting through Remote Desktop from home. So that's good. Way too long for something that should have been really really simple. Good portion I have only myself to blame. Oh the way back, dropped by H Mart, but disappointed again because they didn't have the sweet corn popsicles like last time. Not a bad weekend, but that Sunday was just frustrating. Too much time in the car too.
