<br />
A month or so back I had mentioned having a technician come out to fix our “water-bar”; the problem being that it insisted on filling up the drain-catchment when in “shabbat-mode”. We had a tech come up, ''twice'', to “fix it”, to no avail. Finally, we got the company to agree to replace it, and this week we did just that. Now we‘ve got a shiny new machine, but it remains to be seen if it works better than the one it replaces. We‘ll let you know next week, B“H.<br />
<br />
I must give a “shout-out” to my friend‘s son-in-law Gil, who mentioned (last ''shabbat'') that, when using ChatGPT for long-term work, it‘s better to use its notion of “projects” rather than “chats”… and, indeed, my experience (with the translation project) is ''much'' better now.<br />

Once again, I sent out a new [https://8th-dev.com/forum/index.php?topic=3130.0 version of 8th]. I also spent considerable time fixing various bugs one of my users has found. Oh, the joys of software development!<br />
<br />
The weather for ''shabbat'' is going to be hot, like last week; but we‘re covered!<br />
<br />
This ''shabbat'' we‘ve got guests for one meal; we hope they‘ll enjoy:<br />
<br><br />
homemade ''ḥallah'',<br />
mushroom soup,<br />
brisket with veggies,<br />
potatoes,<br />
various ''salatim'',<br />
gravlax,<br />
and banana cake.<br />
<br><br><br />
<br />
Until next time,<br><br />
''shabbat shalom''!<br><br />
