Tell me a joke...

This guy is in a bar and shows the guy next to him a picture of his wife.

"Can you believe that!?" He says. "Just look how gorgeous she is!!"

The other guy replies, "If you think she's gorgeous, well, you should see MY wife!"

The first guy says, "Really? Wow, so is she a looker, too?"

"No," comes his answer, "She's an optometrist!"

E-Bikes

I caught up on my mowing and then worked on my bike. My son was coming over after work so I had a small window. I once again removed the original controller and put the upgraded controller back in the bike. I then remove the back wheel and slipped on my manufactured washer. I put a battery on the bike and went for a very short ride. The washer, though as thin as I could make it, was too thick. The sensor didn't detect torque or cadence. I rolled the bike back to the olbriar's bike repair shop and removed the washer and tried riding again. I only had time to ride five miles and was putting the bike up when my son drove in. The bike didn't mess up while riding but I suspect it will. I didn't do anything but return the bike to the state it was in prior to all the checking this and replacing that. Pretty darn frustrating.
It's funny how things work out sometimes. I was telling my son about the RipCurrent Base being sold out. I told him how I emailed the Napune site asking about the rebranded bike and my conversation with the kid that bought one and him telling me he was sure they were out of business. I was just telling my son that his bike was my best shot at buying a bike that my Juiced batteries and stuff would work with when I got a text. It was the kid saying he'd sell me his bike for $1,200 with two batteries and two chargers. I told him I would likely be his buyer but I needed to inspect the bike. I'm meeting up with him Saturday afternoon. The site has the bike listed for $1,400 and I have no idea about taxes and shipping. It seems like a fair deal to me unless the bike is trashed. My thought is that I can surely keep one bike running out of two bikes. I'm not 20 like the kid.. I'm 73. I just need a bike to ride off into the sunset with.

What's for dinner ?

We are having chicken and noodles. Frozen egg noodles, boiled and diced chicken thighs, cream of chicken soup, thyme, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Just like mom used to make except I'm not making the noodles and I'm using soup and not thickening the chicken broth. Hey, the chicken is the same and so are the spices. :)
My wife is battling a bad cold, so I'm making homemade chicken noodle soup.

Random Thought Thread

@olbriar ... As a former cabinetmaker I thought you might appreciate this:

That is indeed cool! Years ago the wife and I ran around with a couple that was renting an older home with some very interesting kitchen cabinets. The upper cabinets started out shallow and increased in depth as they approached the ceiling. Tea cups and saucer depth the first shelf and platter depth the top. The hinge side of the doors were mounted to stiles that were cut at an angle so that the doors would remain level and not swing open on their own. Once the angles were figured out, it could be duplicated in all the kitchens that carpenter constructed. It gave the cabinets a very different look than the normal kitchen. It seemed like a waste of storage space but it allowed greater access to the countertop area.

Baseball 2025

It will be tough for the Dodgers to win the next two in Toronto. If they can pull it off, my hat will definitely be off to them. I don't know what has happened to the Dodgers. I think they have all the talent that money can buy. Perhaps they peaked too soon. Perhaps they were like me and thought they would win the series without much trouble. Their number one through their number four hitters going silent tonight is just incredible. Maybe they used up their Juju in the NLDS. I would have never thought they would be behind in the series and be in a must win game.

Hearing Health and Hearing Aids

I get my new ears Saturday. I'm excited to hear better and to be able to communicate via my phone. I'm excited to try the tv audio streamer. I'm excited to get all of my notifications.
My good friend that I talked into aids shortly after I got my first set had his hearing retested Monday and is getting new aids. Though his aids have served him better than mine, they are over five years old and starting to have problems. He went with the Phillips aids and I the Sennheiser. Both aids, like most all aids of today, have an added AI chip that helps manage environments and suppose to adapt to the user. We shall see....

NFL 2O25

The Chiefs played an average first half last night. The put together a good second half to beat the Commanders 28-7. They had best plan on playing both halves this weekend against the Bills or they will add another L to their season. Traveling to Buffalo will be a great test.

Motorola Razr Won't Stay Unlocked and Won't Text With my Car

I am following the Motorola instructions to set it up to not lock.

I am working at getting rid of all the junk that has the phone thinking it knows what I want to do better then I know.

I hear what you are saying and understand. I felt and still feel that something as simple as setting my phone to stay unlocked when on my Wi-Fi should work. My 8 year old Sony has been doing that successfully for 8 years. Could I say, "This ain't rocket science"?
Thanks.
ok, now that makes sense.
i spend most of my android time getting giogle out of my life

i have not played with a razr, and was unaware that you were following manufacturers instructions
(most devices come with few if any anymore)
