Question:
It's vet time again as it's time for the cats to get their annual rabies injection. Still, as long as it saves them from rattlesnake bites, it's worth it as noted here. Will I be able to catch both cats in the morning to take them to the vets?
Results:
Yes both, Trillion only and Neither of them tied with 29% of the votes each from the following:
- Yes both (29%)
- Zaphod only (14%)
- Trillion only (29%)
- Neither of them (29%)
Analysis:
Getting the cats into their boxes to take to the vets was fairly uneventful and we did get both of them in. Trillion is always the hardest as she is the most scared and as soon as she gets the sense that something's up, she runs and hides. He generally does what he's told and is a lot more compliant. The main challenge with Zaphod is finding him if he's outside as he tends to roam quite far. Anyway, all is done. Not sure all is well as Zaphod does tend to have quite a few things going wrong with him and the vet even said he's going to be my problem child whereas she will be easy. Still, nothing major so far.

Question:
This week's focus has been on a car trailer. I'm really excited about getting one, but I've just been reading about towing limits and the Explorer doesn't have the towing capacity the truck had. On top of that, my car is quite heavy. I've calculated that I'll be within the limit, but only just. I certainly wouldn't be able to have four people in the car if I was towing. I think I could get away with two and a small amount of luggage. Should I buy a car trailer?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 75% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (75%)
- No (25%)
Analysis:
Alright, so I was all set to buy the car trailer when I realized my new car (the explorer) isn’t rated high enough to tow my car + trailer. It’s close, but not worth the risk. The challenge is that my car is so damn heavy. I could do weight reduction on the car or buy a better towing vehicle, but for now, I’m holding off buying a trailer to make sure I really want one.

Question:
I have a package that was due to arrive by 9pm on Friday. Mysteriously, the tracking shows that it arrived in Oakland around 7am on Friday. The next update was around 8.30pm showing it had arrived in San Francisco. It took all day to send my package about 12 miles in the wrong direction. It’s now showing Tuesday as the estimated delivery date. Will I get my package this week?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 67% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (67%)
- No (33%)
Analysis:
I did indeed get my package this week. It went from LA to Oakland. Oakland to San Francisco. San Francisco to Oakland. Then Oakland to Clayton. It must have just fancied a trip over the Bay Bridge and back again. It doesn't do me much good though. I need my car sorted to use what was ordered ... sigh!

Question:
This week is all about the release of Borderlands 4 this coming Thursday/Friday (depending on your time zone). I've pre-ordered my copy through a site that gives you a key on the release day that you can use to download the game. It was cheaper than the official site(s). Will I get my key this week to download Borderlands 4?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 75% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (75%)
- No (25%)
Analysis:
Yes, indeed! I did get my game key and it downloaded and installed correctly. There are some performance issues with the game, but it’s playable and I’m working through it.

Question:
Continuing with the Borderlands 4 theme, next week is the first time the fab 4 will be playing together. It’s inevitable that Paul will find a way to kill himself (in game). How will Paul kill himself in the Borderlands 4 game?
Results:
Granade himself was the clear winner with 27% of the votes from the following selection:
- Fall off the map (18%)
- Granade himself (27%)
- Tediore mag himself (18%)
- Throwing an explosive (18%)
- Falling into acid/radiation fluid (9%)
- Gettin stuck somewhere (9%)
Analysis:
I think he did really well. He didn't kill himself in today's session. He did admit that the most common way he'd killed himself was by grenading himself. There's still plenty of time for him to play the levels where he'll fall off the map though.

Question:
This should be a really quiet week for me. I've a lunch and some bits and bobs, but nothing life changing. Now the following week there's lots on, but will something unexpected come up this week?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 60% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (60%)
- No (40%)
Analysis:
Nope, nothing unexpected came up this week. Only thing really that was quite beneficial was that I procrastinated to load my car and when it came to do it, my gardener was here so he helped me.

Question:
There's several things going on this week, but the main one is that my car's going in again. I should get it back by the end of the week, but I also need to get this phone app working with it. Will I get my car back this week and get the phone app working?
Results:
Both was the clear winner with 43% of the votes from the following selection:
- Car but not app (29%)
- Both (43%)
- None (29%)
Analysis:
Yeah, so none it is. I had to rush down to find out that other priorities had bumped me down the pecking order. Hopefully I’ll get it back this week, but I really don’t have any control as to whether that will happen or not.
