Howdy howdy...
Another nice one, tho breezy. Today's ride makes 106miles for the week. Tomorrow will be the same, maybe monday if it holds. But then rain icons appear.

I hate it when it rains icons. I can never get the smilies out of my hair.

Crisp, clear morning. Breakfast is over, coffee is ongoing.
I'll be joining some friends at 11:00 this morning for a bike ride from Cedar Rapids to Solon, where we will have lunch, before heading back to C R.

coffee consumed, breakfast eaten. Getting ready to go see The French Dispatch. I love Wes Anderson movies. This one holds lotsa promise.

Good morning.
Cheerios consumed and I need more coffee. In a few I'll head down to my shop and later to Yoerg's for lunch with the MNGM.

It was a sad day yesterday, I retired my trusty General Electric clock radio. It served me well from internship in the early 70’s to the present. RIP.  It has been replaced by a JBL Horizon. So far I like it.  Have a great lunch boys, sorry I couldn’t be there. |

I'm holding forth on the side of a 24 story because a worker didn't show. There go my Saturday plans.

Good morning. It'll be nice here. Today will involve smoking a chuck roast. I'm sure something else will happen but I don't know what.

Now that the weather is cooler, there are many outdoor events to choose from. Got an arts and crafts show at the church down the street. Also some free coffee and donuts down the street in the opposite direction where there will be a discussion of future improvements to the park. Lots of other things going on, but I think we'll stick with our original plan to attend the annual (except for last year) Celtic Festival. We have had our cereal and fruit so we won't be tempted by the haggis.

Puhfizer booster yesterday after Moderna original shots, so I am officially a drink-mixer. Moderna before Pfizer, never wiser; Pfizer before Moderna, it's gonna burn-a - that's how it goes, right?
I dunno. Only side effect seems to be sleeping in way late, but I was up late. That and my 5G phone suddenly works much, much better.

Why is your 5G doing better? Infrastructure improvements or you're just blowin' a little smoke.

My phone connections got faster after my booster, as well. I know quite a few people who have noticed this. It makes sense when you stop and think about it.

Along those lines, we swapped out Cable TV for internet and Apple TV. The Apple remote has 4 buttons, a volume toggle, and a touchy control/scroll thingy.
The old remote had 39 buttons plus a volume and a channel toggle.
I’m limping along with a very basic understanding/misunderstanding how to turn the damned thing on and off and selecting channels. Takes me 2 or 3 times as long to find things and certain simple functions are gone for good (or forever buried in a deep technology rabbit hole)

You probably need a teenager to show you how it works! |
